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 hubby was a big help during the process, but I felt it was really important for him to spend some time just for himself. He was there if I needed him, but by having some time for visiting friends and not talking about BC he would come home relaxed and ready to help.
The other fantastic practical thing he did was buy me a teddy bear. It seems so minor but I cuddled that teddy through hopital stays, sleepless nights and horrible chemo days. It made me feel so loved and secure. I can understand why kids love cuddling their special toy.
