More than 12,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia each year. For every woman diagnosed there will almost certainly be a man in her life – a husband, partner, son, father, brother, or friend – who will also be affected.
When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, she faces a challenging journey that can turn her life upside down. For the man who loves her, this can be a frightening new frontier, and a difficult and isolating experience.
National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre has developed an audio resource, When the woman you love has early breast cancer, to support men through the emotional and practical challenges of being there for a loved one facing breast cancer.
Narrated by actor and author William McInnes, When the woman you love has early breast cancer features personal stories, insight and wisdom from women diagnosed with breast cancer and the men who supported them. The resource also features advice and practical tips on navigating the breast cancer journey from leading Australian clinical and psychosocial experts.
