I’ve just finished proof-reading the formatted version of Rollercoaster: How a man can survive his partner’s breast cancer or any other lethal disease.
It’s amazing how many typos popped up. And, of course, I, your favorite now and forever editor, couldn’t help improving things with a word or phrase substitution or addition here and there.
So, the fixes are in, so to speak, and we can easily move on to the next pre-publication step.
This second edition will be a radically different book than the first. It has totally updated chapters on meds and treatments, and completely new ones on my wife’s mastectomy and metastases. It has 40 extra pages.
The book contains, too, new transitional chapters, along with major revamps of every other chapter. Its title is more inclusive.

It still is aimed at male caregivers (and patients of any gender) but it’s now also a tribute to the bravery and perseverance of my wife, as well as a memoir of how we coped with her thrice being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Meanwhile, instead of waiting for the new version, you may want to dip into my other VitalityPress books. From my website — www.woodyweingarten.com, in case you forgot — you can order a copy (or two or two thousand, depending on the size of your family and how many folks you call friends).
My other books are MysteryDates — How to keep the sizzle in your relationship (the title says it all); The Roving I, a compilation of 70 of my newspaper columns; and Grampy and His Fairyzona Playmates, a whimsical fantasy intended for 6- to 10-year-olds that I co-authored with my then 8-year-old granddaughter.
