A unique guide, like none other on the market-packed with medical information, practical tips, psychological insight, and coping strategies-to help men help the women they love through this trying time.

When Marc Silver became a breast cancer husband three years ago, he learned firsthand how frightened and helpless the breast cancer husband feels. He searched in vain for a book that would give him the information and advice he so desperately sought. Now this award-winning journalist has compiled just the kind of emotionally supportive and useful resource that he wished he had been able to consult-to give men the tools they need to help their wives, their families, and themselves through this scary, uncertain time.

In his years as a consumer journalist and veteran of the News You Can Use staff at U.S. News & World Report, Marc Silver learned what kind of information and advice on medical crises readers found most valuable. He draws on that experience as he covers in depth all the issues couples coping with breast cancer will have to face during diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. Highlights include:
- The shared experiences of other breast cancer husbands
- Guidance from top cancer doctors in the country
- Advice on when, how, and what to tell your young children
- Tips on coping with radiation and chemotherapy
- A candid discussion of sex and intimacy following breast cancer surgery

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. At last, with this book, the men who love them have a road map to help them through a difficult and unprecedented journey.

  • good service

    ordered book "The Breast Cancer Husband" for a friend of mine--it came quickly, which was important since he is dealing with problems daily, and everything was correct. He has told me several times how helpful the book is to him. He looked on several other websites and it was either backordered or not available. We are very pleased with the service

  • Purchased for my husband.

    When diagnosed with breast cancer, a close (male) friend whose wife was undergoing treatment for breast cancer, recommended this book. How nice to be able to purchase "Breast Cancer Husband" from Overstocked and have it delivered to my door. My husband brought it with him to read the day of my surgery and has since told me how useful the information was to him and also informative (for him) since it was written by a man that went through a simular situation with his wife. As for me, it gave me comfort knowing some of the questions and concerns he had (but was unable to ask me at the time) were answered in the book. I am on my way to recovery and this book has helped not only my husband, it has helped our (5 children) family. Thank you.
