Description
Prostate cancer for men -- like breast cancer for women -- has very serious psychological as well as physical ramifications. One author of this candid book is the patient suffering from the disease. His account of his diagnosis, treatment over two years, and eventually cure is touching, profane, and often uproarious as it evokes the physical and emotional rollercoaster engendered by this illness. The second author is the patient's doctor. His observations, alternating chronologically with those of the patient, record and humane observations as the disease takes its course. The result is a comprehensive understanding of the psychological, the physical, and the clinical aspects of prostate cancer.
