• Who takes care of the children and pets? THE PARTNER
• Who buys the food and prepares the meals? THE PARTNER
• Who coordinates all of the medical appointments? THE PARTNER
• Who does the driving to the medical appointments? THE PARTNER
• Who ensures that she is getting the best care possible? THE PARTNER
• Who keeps concerned friends and relatives informed? THE PARTNER

Cancer for Two will help patients and their partners get through it.

If you are a cancer patient or partner (or know one), this book will give you comfort, advice, guidance, and understanding of breast cancer and how to support the patient with humor and love. You will discover:

• How to keep the patient feeling good about herself
• The importance of the caregiver’s role
• An amazing attitude in the face of serious illness
• How to reduce the fear and stress
• A simple, effective, fun, and FREE way to keep friends and relatives informed without spending hours on the phone
• How to find humor in serious situations
• 16 reasons why cancer was a "gift"
• 9 good things about having no hair

Why? Because the patient’s attitude is one of her most important healing factors, and that attitude is directly affected by her partner. A supportive, loving, stress-free environment is critical to fostering a better attitude.

It’s hard enough to be a cancer patient; imagine how much harder it would be if she had to worry about buying food and feeding the family, filling prescriptions, scheduling appointments and getting to them, etc.

The more the partner can do to help, the less stress on the patient. Less stress means a better attitude and more energy applied to recovery and healing.
 

Lois Lane was falling from a tall building when Superman swooped down and caught her in mid-air. "Don’t worry," he said. "I’ve got you!" Lois looked at him incredulously. "You’ve got me… but who’s got you?"

So it is with partners of cancer patients. They want to rush to the rescue and say, "Don’t worry, I’ve got you!"… but who’s "got" them? Who’s supporting them?

Mark Twain said, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Many people told Dave that they knew the partner is just as affected as the patient, but there wasn’t much information available.
