Dr. Mike Robinson: As I begin discussing with husbands whose wives have battled breast cancer, what are some of the top topics I should consider?
Stuart Amor: There are some big topics worth talking about. For example, managing the uncertainty of the diagnosis and the treatment plan; handling the concept of being alone; not having anyone to turn to when the person you would usually turn to is suffering; for some men, the lack of affection and sex is a big issue; how to broach the subject with young children; how to support your children while being there for your wife; does she have cancer or do we have cancer - is it her journey or our journey; oh and a little known fact, they want you to celebrate their cancerverserory when all you want to do is put it behind you.
