Here are engaging and digestible lessons for couples navigating the life changes brought about by a cancer diagnosis. Dan Shapiro draws on his more than twenty-five years of clinical work as a health psychologist who has researched and worked with couples facing cancer, and on his own experiences of being both the patient (having and beating Hodgkin s lymphoma in his twenties) and the supporter/advocate (when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer) to weave together insights on facing cancer while maintaining a strong relationship. "And in Health" gives advice in short lessons on the main areas of concern or conflict that can come from life with cancer--from diagnosis to treatment and life post-treatment. Topics include: - How to forge yourselves into a powerful team and avoid common conflict points - Dealing with physicians and getting the best care possible, along with tips for navigating the medical world - Strategies for coping with the emotions that can interfere with your relationship--anger, mood swings, spouse fears, and depression - Distinguishing between supportive and draining people in your lives, and learning to invite and accept help - Opening to new types of intimacy and making peace with dependence
