This is the first study to highlight differences in couples' experiences of breast cancer diagnosis and BR decision-making before mastectomy. Partners express an important need for information and do not entirely perceive why BR is wished or not by their loved ones. An online tool providing information to both women and partners could help them in breast cancer care pathway and BR decision-making.
