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.

Download or read book Mission in Bold Humility written by Willem Saayman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mission in Bold Humili/ty, an international group of scholars explore and assess the life and work of David Bosch. In 1991 the publication of David Bosch's magnum opus, Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission, marked a high point in a long and distinguished career. Immediately acclaimed as one of the most significant texts on missiology in the past century, it was to be the scholar's last major publication due to Bosch's untimely death in 1992.In Mission in Bold Humility, editors Willem Saayman and Klippies Kritzinger, Bosch's longtime colleagues in the missiology faculty of the University of South Africa, gather appraisals of Bosch's work from a variety of theological perspectives and mission contexts. Together the distinguished authors offer invaluable critiques of Bosch's thought and insights into Transforming Mission. At the same time, Mission in Bold Humility assesses the significance of Bosch's many scholarly and humanitarian contributions: as a missiologist, as a man of the church, and as one who labored courageously on behalf of peace and justice in his native South Africa. Particularly notable is Frans J. Verstraelen's chapter on the influence of Africa in Bosch's thought, offering a penetrating analysis and criticism of an important facet of his life's work that is hardly known outside his native continent.Contributors: the editors, Dana L. Robert, Wilbert R. Shenk, Chritopher Sugden, Gerald H. Anderson, John S. Pobee, William R. Burrows, Jacob Kavunkal, Margaret E. Guider, Frans J. Verstraelen, Curt Cadorette, and Emilio Castro.

Download or read book Never Fear Cancer Again written by Raymond Francis and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most cancer research dollars have been wasted by asking the wrong questions, looking in the wrong places, and recycling the same failed approaches while expecting different results. Conventional cancer treatments damage health, cause new cancers, lower the quality of life, and decrease the chances of survival. In fact, most people who die from cancer are not dying from cancer, but from their treatments! That's the bad news. Here's the good news: We can end the cancer epidemic. In Never Fear Cancer Again, readers will gain a revolutionary new understanding of health and disease and will come to understand that cancer is a biological process that can be turned on and off, not something that can be surgically removed or destroyed with radiation or toxic chemicals. So whether cancer has already been diagnosed or if prevention is the concern, it is possible to turn off the wayward production of these malfunctioning cells once and for all by reading this book and implementing its strategies. The key to any disease has one simple cause: malfunctioning cells that are created by either deficiency or toxicity. By switching off the malfunctioning cells, you switch off the cancer. Never Fear Cancer Again guides readers along six pathways that cause deficiency or toxicity at the cellular level: nutritional path, genetic path, medical path, toxin path, physical path, and the psychological path. By making key lifestyle changes, people truly have the power to take control of cancer and transform their health. This radically different, yet holistic approach restored author Raymond Francis back to health just as it has helped thousands of others, many of whom were told they had no other options or that their cancer was incurable. Take back your health with this book and never fear cancer again.

Download or read book Notes on the Journey written by Laura A. Koppenhoefer and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellow was her favorite color growing up on the farm. The color of corn. The color in their wedding. It was her husband's favorite "golf shirt color." It was the color of the 13 foot sunflowers they grew in their garden with their young daughters. Years later, a rare cancer diagnosis - "sarcoma"-- changed a lot in her life. Surgery. Chemotherapies. Lung surgery. Yet it turns out yellow is the "color for sarcoma"-- and sunflowers are the "flower." Tall, strong, and always looking toward the sun, Laura uses her faith, gratitude, prayer and the support of family and friends to help her through the first three years of living with sarcoma. She finds there is hope on the journey. This book is a compellation of Laura's "posts" from the Carepage.com journaling she has done through the first years of her illness. Originally thinking that she was writing to inform the congregation she co-pastored of her treatment, she found that she learned through writing as well. Insights are found in everyday things - gardens and baking and re-discovering knitting and quilting - and the extreme circumstances of her medical care, the challenges of facing disability, and severe pain starting at age 49. However, all are instances for discovering the Spirit at work in her life whether in times of lament or joy.Laura, her daughters, and family are familiar with cancer, as her husband died about six years before from Stage 4 colon cancer. Unlike colon cancer, sarcomas are very rare, and do not run in families. One out of every 100 cancers are sarcomas - of which there are almost 150 types. Laura learns that she has sclerosing epitheloid fibrosarcoma, an even more rare sub-type of sarcoma. Sarcomas are infrequently studied and have few available successful treatments. Hopeful treatment horizons stem from collaborative work of sarcoma researchers and learning more about the genetic mutations of sarcoma cells.The proceeds of this book are all going to fund sarcoma research at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Download or read book What s So Funny About Diabetes written by Karyn Buxman and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's so funny about diabetes? Maybe nothing. Then again, maybe everything. Especially if you understand the premise that so much of our humor comes from pain and discomfort-our own, or somebody else's. And let's face it; if you're a diabetic, you've got more than your fair share of pain and discomfort. Currently one in 10 US adults has diabetes, but those numbers could go as high as 1 in 3 by the year 2050. A long-term solution can only come from getting people to change their lifestyles: better diets, exercise and coping mechanisms to deal with this serious illness. The good news: Humor and laughter have been shown scientifically to have positive benefits for diabetic patients. Laughter has been shown to lower blood glucose in diabetics, as well as decrease hormones that can be harmful. Humor is recognized as a healthy coping mechanism. And humor has also been proven to increase the retention of information. For these reasons, and more, author Karyn Buxman has written the first in a series of books for patients with chronic illness: What's So Funny About Diabetes? When you're a diabetic, you need to arm yourself with all the tools that you possibly can to become the healthiest person that you can be. You need a large repertoire of skills. Humor isn't the be-all, end all; it's not meant to replace your medical regime, but rather to be a complement to all the efforts you're already making. Now Karyn Buxman shows you how you can strategically use humor everyday to better manage your diabetes and live a healthier and happier life. And you don't need to be funny. You just need to be able to see funny. "If we took what we now know about laughter and bottled it, it would require FDA approval," says psychoneuroimmunologist, Dr. Lee Berk. The perfect gift for yourself or someone you love, this book is filled with wise, witty, and life-saving advice. Whether you are a diabetic, a pre-diabetic, or the cheerleader for a diabetic, there is something in this book for you.
