All you need to know to take an active part in your treatment.
Written by physicians for patients and their families affected by
prostate cancer, this book covers all aspects of the disease, from
diagnosis to treatment and beyond in an easy-to-understand and
informative way. You will be amazed by how much more 'in control' you will feel with this book at your side. Topics include:
The symptoms you should watch for, all about the prostate gland,
reducing the risk of prostate cancer, the PSA test, what happens
when you have surgery or radiation? What about urinary control
and sexual function? The side effects of all treatments and a full
glossary of important medical terms.

"As a long-term survivor and quite involved with the prostate
support group community, I recommend this updated edition
of The Intelligent Patient Guide to Prostate Cancer as it provides
a wealth of 'lay friendly' medical-based information for both
newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients and those continuing
to live with prostate cancer. This valuable book should serve as
a core reference 'user guide' for the many thousands of men and
their families affected by prostate cancer."
