title: Impact of cancer on quality of life: a partner's perspective.
abstract: The author, himself a psychologist, describes the personal and marital effects of his wife's 9 1/2 year struggle with breast cancer. Remissions, CRs, and PRs can be summarized in neat little tables. The effects of cancer on quality of life - not only of the patient but also the family - are not so easily described and categorized.
