From Library Journal. May 1, 2005 Husbands and partners are usually the odd men out in books on breast cancer. Silver, an editor atU.S. News & World Report, didn't know what to do when his wife was diagnosed. Finding no books specifically from his perspective, he decided to write one. Gleaning information from medical professionals and other men in his position, he created a helpful guide that covers all manner of providing support, even down to instructions for washing a woman's hair while she has drains in place. Silver'sHusbandis funny, tender, and rock-solid., From Library Journal. May 1, 2005 Husbands and partners are usually the odd men out in books on breast cancer. Silver, an editor at U.S. News & World Report , didn't know what to do when his wife was diagnosed. Finding no books specifically from his perspective, he decided to write one. Gleaning information from medical professionals and other men in his position, he created a helpful guide that covers all manner of providing support, even down to instructions for washing a woman's hair while she has drains in place. Silver's Husband is funny, tender, and rock-solid., "Breast cancer is a family affair. Marc Silver touches the raw nerves of breast cancer husbands with insight, tenderness, wisdom, and just the right amount of humor to both help and heal. This book is a gift to them--and to the women they love." --Bernadine Healy, M.D., former director of the National Institutes of Health "When breast cancer happens to the woman you love, all you want to do is fix it and make it go away. This terrific book gives partners the useful and sensitive answers they need to so many of the how-tos, what-ifs, and when-wills that come up along the way." --Marisa Weiss, M.D., founder and president of breastcancerdotorg "A supercharged survival guide for men and women confronting any life-threatening illness. Well-informed and practical, Silver covers the controversies and conflicts that arise under fire and guides you with love, support, and inspiration." --Matthew Loscalzo, director of patient and family support at the University of California at San Diego Cancer Center "With a wonderful blend of empathy, humor, and information, Breast Cancer Husband is a buddy and an on-call support group for men who love women with breast cancer." --Hester Hill Schnipper, oncology social worker and author of After Breast Cancer: A CommonSense Guide to Life After Treatment " Breast Cancer Husband illuminates the challenges presented by a cancer diagnosis and the helplessness that husbands often feel. Marc Silver provides vital resources and solutions for caretakers." --Mitch Stoller, president and CEO of the Lance Armstrong Foundation "No one should face breast cancer alone. But how does a husband support his wife when he may be feeling frustrated, sad, and angry himself? Marc Silver fills an essential niche with Breast Cancer Husband, offering emotional support and practical advice to help men be compassionate caregivers--everything from tips for talking to children to a frank discussion of sexuality and intimacy." --Nancy G. Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation "When cancer happens, it happens to the entire family--not just the person with the diagnosis. Marc Silver knows this and--thank goodness--has written an honest, informative and, yes, even humorous guide for breast cancer husbands. A must-read for every man who's learning to live with breast cancer." --Diane Perlmutter, CEO, Gilda's Club Worldwide "A clear, concise crash-course that lists the best ways to help when a man sets out to support his wife through the ordeal of breast cancer." --William H. Goodson, III, M.D. breast surgeon and clinical research scientist, San Francisco " Breast Cancer Husband bravely and honestly discusses topics--including talking with your children about the diagnosis, the nuances of diagnosis and therapy, and intimacy issues--that men need to understand to be helpful, supportive partners in the battle against cancer." --Mikkael Sekeres, M.D., staff oncologist, at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and author of Facing Cancer "If the woman in your life has breast cancer, you will likely feel less alone, and more confident in your skills to support her emotionally and practically, after reading this book. Marc Silver deftly blends expert advice, personal accounts, and the latest research to create a lively and highly readable resource for men who love a breast cancer survivor." --Leslie R.

Synopsis
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. Silver draws on his experience as a veteran of the News You Can Use staff at U.S. News & World Report to cover in depth all the issues couples coping with breast cancer will have to face during diagnosis, treatment, and beyond., 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., A unique, must-have resource with medical information, practical tips, psychological insight, and coping strategies to help men help the women they love through the challenges of breast cancer "With a wonderful blend of empathy, humor, and information, Breast Cancer Husband is a buddy and an on-call support group for men who love women with breast cancer."--Hester Hill Schnipper, oncology social worker and author of After Breast Cancer Featuring a foreword by medical oncologist Frederick P. Smith, M.D. More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the United States. In 2001, Marc Silver's wife became one of these women when a routine mammogram revealed early-stage breast cancer. Marc's lackluster response to the news ("Ew, that doesn't sound good.") led to a realization: There was no book with the advice and information he so desperately needed as a frightened and helpless breast cancer husband. Naturally, he decided to write his own.
