Male partners of women diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer are often overlooked by health careworkers, family and friends resulting in confusion, anxiety, and anger. To help address the needs of thisunique group, Woman to Woman created a "Guide for Male Partners" which contains information ongynecologic cancer, treatment and side effects, sexuality, finances, how to deal with family and friends,and resources for each topic.
