Breast cancer affects the whole family. Partners and family members are likely to experience similar emotions to the person who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer also has a ripple affect - touching friends and colleagues as well. We hope that the resources and personal stories here provide you with useful information and options for support.
"It was really hard in the beginning because, like my wife, I was shocked and overwhelmed. I was having to look after the kids, take all the phone calls from family and friends, visit my wife in hospital and try to offer her support as well as try and hold down a full-time job. I don't think anyone really understood just how hard it was for me - or that I also needed some support and back-up."
