Most breast cancer resources are written for patients. Breast Friends speaks directly to the husband navigating the journey alongside his wife.
This isn't a medical textbook. It's practical guidance, honest encouragement, and real-world perspective from someone who has walked the same road.
From diagnosis through treatment and beyond, Breast Friends follows the experience many families face, helping you stay grounded every step of the way.
When breast cancer enters your life, everything changes. Suddenly, you're faced with unfamiliar medical terms, difficult decisions, and questions you never expected to ask.
Breast Friends was written from the perspective of a husband who has been there. It focuses on the questions, emotions, responsibilities, and everyday moments that come with supporting the woman you love through breast cancer.
Whether you're still trying to make sense of a new diagnosis or preparing for the road ahead, Breast Friends was written to help you walk beside the woman you love... one step, one decision, and one day at a time.

Understanding the shock, the emotions, and what comes next.

Making sense of diagnoses, treatment options, medical terminology, and difficult conversations.

Practical ways to support your wife through treatment, important decisions, and everyday life.

Finding perspective and strength as you face what comes next together.
When your wife is diagnosed with breast cancer, it's natural to feel overwhelmed. You may not know what questions to ask, what to expect next, or even what to say.
The truth is, no husband is prepared for what comes next.
That's why I wrote Breast Friends.
Breast Friends was born from experience, not theory.
When Jeffrey Allen Solheim's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, he suddenly found himself asking many of the same questions husbands face every day: What do I say? What do I do? How do I help?
Walking beside his wife through breast cancer, Jeffrey realized that while there were countless resources for women facing breast cancer, there were far fewer written for the husbands standing beside them.
Drawing from firsthand experience, personal research, and the lessons learned along the way, Jeffrey wrote Breast Friends to be the practical, honest guide he wishes someone had handed him on diagnosis day.

For husbands ready to begin with practical guidance and honest encouragement.
A thoughtful gift for the husband walking beside someone he loves.
