Abstract

A guide for men whose wives or girlfriends have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Helps readers deal with the diagnosis, addressing men's stereotypical reactions (usually saying little, followed by overbearing urges to fix the problem) and advises them how to behave (ask questions and, more importantly, listen). Also examines the various treatments and suggests ways for readers to find sexual intimacy after mastectomy.
