ROLLERCOASTER

Woody Weingarten, who’s facilitated Marin Man to Man for nearly 30 years, has written an optimistic book, Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer, which focuses on how he and his wife handled the disease, its treatments and aftermath.

The love story/memoir-chronicle includes a chapter, “How men see it,” based on this group and its participants — and also acts as a guide to research, meds and help.

The book, which is aimed at male caregivers but can be of equal value to patients and female caregivers, is available through Amazon. And updates on topics covered by Rollercoaster can be found on the author's websites, woodyweingarten.com and vitalitypress.com.
