A friend just started a blog for husbands of women going through breast cancer. He described his reasons for blogging in this way:

"My wife has had breast cancer over the past three years. Blogging about it seems therapeutic and also a way for husbands to support each other."

In my discussions with Ilene Kouzel, who died of ALS in October 2006, she saw the real heroes and heroines as the caregivers–the people who quietly support and walk alongside the path of someone fighting for their life.  Ilene would be cheering my friend right now.

One of the best things about our age of technological abundance is the ability to connect with kindred spirits, easily and effortlessly. If you know of a husband supporting a woman diagnosed with breast cancer, please direct them to this site: www.breastcancerforhusbands.com.
