Product Description

Product Description
In 2001 an estimated 31,900 American men will die of prostate cancer, and more than 184,000 will be diagnosed with the disease. But now there is earlier diagnosis and better treatment as the medical establishment makes progress towards defeating this illness. This guide covers every aspect of prostate cancer, from potential causes, including diet, to tests for diagnosis, curative treatment and innovative means of controlling advanced stages of cancer. It also addresses the sensitive issues of impotence and incontinence after surgery, tells men what to look for in a surgeon, and features a section on alternative medicine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, practical information, 23 Aug 2003
This review is from: Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
We chose this book because we wanted to compare expert views of American and British Specialists.
At the early stages of diagnosis we found this book to be overwhelmingly detailed and fairly complex for the lay-person. However, as we went through the processes of prostate cancer diagnosis/treatment we found we wanted more detail and understanding of what to expect and practical advice on how to decide what course of treatment to undergo - this book provided that.
We referred to relevant chapters prior to each consultation which enabled us to understand the terminology and what the next step would be. Particularly useful is the detail on the side effects after surgery and how to deal with them - men find it difficult to be unwell and unrealistically want to get back to normal almost immediately. The advice at this stage was invaluable in encouraging the patient on how well he was doing, albeit slower than he wished!
This book certainly has been well thumbed and gave important advice and encouragement to the partner/family.
