‘Rollercoaster‘ is praised in online article for showing men how they can be good partners 

A new examiner.com feature article titled “Woody Weingarten’s ride through wife’s breast cancer may help you” states unequivocally that my book “is worth reading even if no one in your life has cancer.”

Why?

“Because,” it says, “it is filled with very smart clues about how a man can be the best possible husband or partner. And how a wife can help him be that.”

“Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer,” the story points out accurately, is also “a guide to give people a sense of what they will be facing” if, unfortunately, a life-threatening disease does strike.

It furthermore labels the book “a memoir, a love story, a research guide, and some realities of chemotherapy and medications.”

Written by Janet Gallin as an adjunct to her “Love Letters Live” podcast package, the online piece notes that the “husband of a woman diagnosed with breast cancer has to…survive his own terror in order to be a strength to her.”

How to do that, despite the ups and downs, is the main thrust of my new VitalityPress book.

Accordingly, the article indicates, “Rollercoaster” can help you figure out what is true concerning the disease, its treatments and its aftermath — and, by the same token, what is not. 

And that’s not as easy as a caregiver or patient might think. “A study says X is true and Y is false, the next week it is the opposite,” I’m correctly quoted as saying.

The piece maintains that I’m a survivor of my wife’s cancer.

I am.

But she, too, is a survivor. And we’re both thriving.
