Summary

This study looks at whether a program called 'Couples Coping Together Against Cancer' is helpful and practical for people with advanced cancers like stage IV breast cancer, glioblastoma, or lung cancer, and their partners. Researchers at City of Hope will enroll 160 couples to see if they stick with the program and find it useful. The goal is to improve emotional support and quality of life, not to treat the cancer itself.
