Breast Friends: A Husband's Guide Through Breast Cancer
When your wife hears the diagnosis "cancer," everything changes for you, too.
One day Jeffrey Allen Solheim was living a normal life. The next, he was sitting beside his wife as she learned she had breast cancer, wondering: What do I say? What do I do? How do I stay strong for the person I love most?
Breast Friends is the guide he wishes he had.
Written from firsthand experience rather than clinical theory, Breast Friends follows one husband's journey beside his wife from Diagnosis Day through treatment and long-term survivorship. Along the way, Solheim shares what he learned about handling fear and uncertainty, asking questions, understanding the language of breast cancer, supporting treatment decisions, staying steady when life no longer feels normal, and simply showing up when it matters most.
This is not a medical manual. It is a practical, honest, and supportive guide for husbands trying to find their footing while supporting their wives through breast cancer.
Concise, accessible, and deeply personal, Breast Friends can be read by a husband facing breast cancer alongside his wife or shared by healthcare professionals, cancer centers, support organizations, family members, and friends looking for a resource written specifically from the husband's perspective.
You do not need to have all the answers. You do not need the perfect words. You just need to stay present, stay engaged, and stay beside her.
You are not alone. And you do not have to figure this out by yourself.
