When couples clash over medical research and appointment preparation

My husband and I have completely different approaches to preparing for his cancer appointments — I research everything obsessively and come with lists of questions, he refuses to look anything up and gets angry when I try to share what I've found. We're supposed to be in this together but we're making each other more anxious.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people facing illness are discovering their coping mechanisms are incompatible, creating isolation when they most need connection.
