Description and Table of Contents
Description
More than 675,000 men worldwide will contract prostate cancer this year. It is the most common male cancer in North America, South America, South Africa, Australia, and Europe. This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide through the physical and emotional aspects of prostate cancer. Written in a friendly, conversational voice with easy-to-understand explanations, this book is the perfect starting place for men at risk for prostate cancer, men who have recently been diagnosed, and their partners and loved ones. Written by a team of prostate cancer experts, the book delivers the facts everyone should know about prostate cancer, including: the latest advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment; varied treatment options and deciding on the one that's right for you; coping with emotional stresses and potential physical side effects such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction; practical issues related to work and finances; and sexuality, relationships, and quality of life after treatment.
Highlighted by personal stories from real people whose lives have been affected by prostate cancer, the book also addresses follow-up care, the risk of cancer recurrence, and promising areas of research. A special section helps loved ones understand, cope, and provide support.
