Book Synopsis Will You (or Someone You Love) Get Prostate Cancer? by : John Sias
Download or read book Will You (or Someone You Love) Get Prostate Cancer? written by John Sias and published by . This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Sias is a prostate cancer survivor, president of the New Hampshire Prostate Cancer Coalition and author of six published books. When he was diagnosed for prostate cancer in 2001, he immediately purchased or borrowed every available book, video and news article he could find on the subject of prostate cancer. Then he and his wife, Marie, devoured all this material, made notes, underlined books, and interviewed survivors, urologists and oncologists. Finally he made his treatment decision. He had already written two successful books in the Question and Answer format, one on religion, now in its ninth printing, and another about ice hockey containing 650 questions and answers. There are many books about prostate cancer but probably few written by a survivor, an author and a president of a state prostate cancer coalition. In addition to all men over 50, those who might find value in this book include public speakers, wives, sons, daughters, news media, and leaders in the nation's fight against state prostate cancer. "Easy to understand." "I can find what I want to know without having to wade through an entire book." This is a book you can skim and scan. It's not a book you'll read from cover to cover, nor is it a "everything you ever wanted to know" book. Although prostate cancer is America's number one cancer killer of men over 50, you might be interested in only a few dozen of the more than 200 questions and answers. But some of them might change your life. Or save it.

Book Synopsis Prostate Cancer by : David G. Bostwick
Download or read book Prostate Cancer written by David G. Bostwick and published by Villard Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer (excluding skin cancer) among American men. In 1998 approximately 184,500 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the United States. However, if detected early, it is also among the most treatable forms of cancer, and due to advances in diagnosis and treatment, survival rates continue to rise. The five-year survival rate has increased from 50 percent in the period from 1960 to 1963 to 89 percent today. But most men--and their families--lack the most basic information about what to do when confronted with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. This book, written by internationally respected medical experts, sets out to explain everything a man needs to know. Written, updated, and revised under the auspices of the American Cancer Society, the nation's leader in cancer research, education, and rehabilitation, it contains the most up-to-date information about the disease. Even more, it is a patient's advocacy book, offering medical, practical, psychological, social, and emotional support. Through case histories and anecdotes--and always with compassion--it addresses the full range of issues that men with the disease may face.

So even if you jump from fright the information will enable you to land on your feet.There are significant lessons to be learned. I am from the group of men in the world who have the highest incidence of the disease (Jamaican men). For that reason I believe I am very qualified to tell the story.

Book Synopsis Cancer Is a Four-Letter Word: a Pilgrimage into the Emotional, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer. by : Larry Kreps
Download or read book Cancer Is a Four-Letter Word: a Pilgrimage into the Emotional, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer. written by Larry Kreps and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men today, closely following lung cancer. About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. But only one in 35 will die from it. More than two million men in the United States who have been diagnosed at some point are still alive today. I am one of them. My book, Cancer is a Four-Letter Word: A Pilgrimage into the Emotional, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer, chronicles my own experience with this terrible disease. From early diagnosis, fear, and panic, to shopping for the best treatment, to surgery and subsequent recovery, I trace not only the physical journey of getting my stamina and good health back, but also the psychological and sexual implications. My format includes an interweaving of my own story of prostate cancer with other men's stories, along with open-ended questions at the end of each chapter to keep men and their partners talking late into the night. Theres also a resource list to provide support for a lifetime. Although concise and easy to read, my book doesnt hold back any personal details. Readers will learn what to expect in regard to diapering oneself post-surgery, working through debilitating depression, and forging the uncharted territory of a different kind of sexual intimacy. More importantly, theyll hear about learning to accept support from loving friends and how to talk to God in a whole new way. Rarely does a reader find an account of experiencing Gods overwhelming love and grace in the same chapter as explicit details on how to give oneself penile injections to overcome erectile dysfunction!
Book Synopsis After Prostate Cancer by : Arnold Melman M.D.
Download or read book After Prostate Cancer written by Arnold Melman M.D. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men who have completed prostate cancer treatment often find themselves facing new challenges and setbacks that do not necessarily recede along with the cancer. Many books endeavor to explain the different types of prostate cancer treatments, but most conclude once a treatment choice has been made, offering readers little in the way of guidance through the challenges of the post-treatment period. After Prostate Cancer: A What-Comes-Next Guide to a Safe and Informed Recovery picks up where those books leave off. Dr. Arnold Melman, Chair of the Department of Urology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offers a thorough description of what the prostate cancer recovery process is like and what readers can do to move themselves through recovery to the best possible health and long-term prognosis. Giving detailed explanations of what to expect and why based on diagnosis, treatment methodology, and other variables that make each man's post-treatment experience different, Dr. Melman offers strategies for mindfully and healthfully approaching post therapy issues, including confronting PSA measurement, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and psychological issues that are a common result of living through prostate cancer and treatment. Sharing the experiences of other prostate cancer patients in addition to accessible explanations of the available medical literature, Dr. Melman helps readers and their partners to get the best information, make the most informed decisions, feel comfortable with those decisions, and work through issues as they arise. Treatment is only the beginning of getting back to a healthy life after a diagnosis. After Prostate Cancer offers the best information to help readers with everything that comes next. "After Prostate Cancer offers readers order who are often faced with chaos. Melman and Newnham have written an informative guide for the recovering prostate cancer patient."--Mani Menon, M.D., The Raj and Padma Vattikuti Distinguished Chair and Director, Vattikuti Urology Institute, Henry Ford Health System "Now the hundreds of men who have benefitted directly from Dr. Arnold Melman's compassionate care for prostate cancer will swell into the thousands as the readers of this book take home his wisdom and sound advice. The information he provides is straightforward and practical, including both medical and emotional sides of the experience. This book is a welcome addition to the self-help library for prostate cancer survivors."--Leslie R. Schover, Ph.D., Professor of Behavioral Science, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center "This book summarizes the field of recovery after prostate cancer perfectly for the patient and his family. The authors cover all the topics that patients who have undergone treatment want to know about, including how to manage side effects. The text is readable and the information is imparted in an easy-to-understand style. I recommend this book to patients, their loved ones, and anyone else who has been affected by a prostate cancer diagnosis."--Ashutosh K. Tewari, M.D., M.Ch., Director, Prostate Cancer Institute and the LeFrak Robotic Surgery Center, Weill Cornell Medical College
