What can partners do to help?
Hi all
This is Annie from BCNA’s Policy Team, and I’m writing this post because I need your help.
We are currently putting together some information to help partners of women diagnosed with breas...
My husband gave me a lot of hugs and cuddles and reassured me I was still beautiful.I sure felt ugly being bald and missing a boob! He took over answering the phone and filtered the calls - I sometimes didn't want to talk. He stepped up on the domestic front and brought me endless cups of tea in bed. He drove me to doctors visits,hospital and treatments and stayed with me. This was good because you feel a bit vulnerable at such times and you don't always take in all the info. Ah,PAPERWORK AND FILLING IN FORMS,PAYING MEDICAL BILLS, he did all that- what a relief! If I got an attack of the miseries in the middle of the night he would just hold me and tell me it would all be ok - that helped me.
