About the Author
Breast Friends was born from experience, not theory.
After walking beside his wife through breast cancer, Jeffrey Allen Solheim recognized an important gap. Most resources were written for patients, while husbands were often left wondering how to help.
Drawing from firsthand experience, personal research, and a desire to support other families, Jeffrey created Breast Friends to serve as a companion for husbands and partners. The book is intended to complement the excellent care provided by physicians, nurse navigators, social workers, and the entire healthcare team.
