Written by a patient of prostate cancer and his urologist, this book provides not just a physician's overview of the disease, but the compassion, understanding and frankness of a man who's lived through the experience. From the first symptoms to early diagnosis to life after treatment, journalist Sylvan Meyer details every facet of the disease from the patient's point of view. Along with a clear, complete guide to the latest treatments, techniques and findings, Meyer outlines the tough decisions the patient will face; describes what it's like to go through all the tests, the treatment and the recovery; and provides an understanding of how the patient himself can affect the outcome. This book aims to be a useful tool for those who have been diagnosed or are at risk, as well as an important guide for anyone who seeks a better understanding of this enigmatic disease and the controversies surrounding it.
