When‍‌‍‍‌ someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, it is not just the person undergoing treatment who is affected, but the whole family. Relatives of the patient can experience fear, doubt, and emotional discomfort as they try to provide support. 

Families who learn to deal with it together become closer, experience less tension, and create a nurturing atmosphere that is good for both the patient and the family. 

This paper presents a selective, practical, and emotional approach that families can use to face the cancer ordeal while keeping their closeness, understanding, and strength.
