Product Description
The first edition of DR PATRICK WALSH'S SURVIVING PROSTATE CANCER has provided men and their loved one's prostate cancer with the necessary information and tools to overcome prostate cancer and live healthy, fulfilling lives. Now, in this updated guide, Dr Walsh draws on the latest research and breakthroughs in his field, listing the texts you need (and the tests you don't need) to detect problems with your prostate, and provides information on the newest treatment options available, from chemotherapy and surgery to alternative treatments including acupuncture and herbal remedies. It discusses in great detail the pros and cons and possible side effects of each kind of treatment. The book also suggests a specific diet that you can follow and outlines those lifestyle choices that can help prevent the onset of prostate cancer.

Format:Paperback
This book gave great information for a newly diagnosed prostate cancer patient. Easy to read with great summaries of each chapter. It mostly referred to treatments carried out in the US but there was still plenty of sensible information that relieves the stress of not knowing full facts.

Format:Paperback
Good book with lots of interesting information on various methods of treating prostate cancer which gives you information that you can discuss with your consultant. Treatments have moved on since this book was published but the basics are still very relevant for the treatments today. Difficult reading when someone you know has this cancer and likely timelines for survival - sugget you avoid this as everyone is different and treatments keep getting better and you must not judge everyone being the same and how their treatment works.
Format:Paperback
I found this book very useful. It basically covered all my options, and gave me a positive outlook. Everyone is different, so the book is not able to go into great detail about your specific case, but at least you are given enough information to know what the doctor is talking about, and what the consequences are.
