dc.description.abstractBreast cancer has been described as a couple’s illness due to the impact it poses on victims and their spouses. A qualitative study was therefore conducted to explore the perception of five married Ghanaian men regarding life with their female partners following mastectomy. Content analysis of transcribed interview data revealed that mastectomy affect men’s perception of their partner’s body image, sexuality and coping mechanisms. However, the fear of unknown outcomes of frank communications prevented them from engaging in such discourse with their partners. Future studies should examine spouses whose wives have lost both breasts to ascertain their reality.en_US
