Download or read book PROSTATE CANCER ME my DOCTOR and HOPE written by Stephen Lamb and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve had never written a book before and never thought he would. After unexpectedly enduring a prostate cancer experience and the subsequent outcome, he felt inspired to put pen to paper. His inspiration was fueled in the hope that the book raises awareness and ultimately makes a difference for other men and their families who have, or are, facing a prostate cancer journey. Hopefully, it sends an important message in relation to the diagnosis and shows them that there are also amazing alternatives in treatment available to them. He is a firm believer that things happen for a reason. If he hadn’t contracted prostate cancer his book would not be a reality today. After a lot of soul searching he chose not to follow the conventional/mainstream path of treatment, ‘the norm’. He has his wife Karen to thank for that. Steve’s book is very different to ‘the normal cancer books on the shelf’ in as much as it is a unique marriage of the human story, a cutting-edge scientific, nutritional approach to diagnosis and treatment and a reference book at the same time.

The step-by-step journey (looking at both the serious and humorous sides of this ordeal) candidly tells about the fears, confusion, and expectations as his life was impacted by prostate cancer. It begins with the shocking diagnosis and examines each step of the process as he learned of the treatment options, and struggled to choose the course of action right for him. The personal and medical information is a compilation of first-hand experience, advice from physicians, literature provided by the hospital, and personal research done after the diagnosis. The book is for those who worry about prostate cancer, for those who must decide on the choices of what to do after a positive diagnosis, for those who fear prostate cancer surgery, and for those who contemplate how their lives will be impacted. Above all it is a book that comforts and is filled with hope for both the patient and their families. Dr. William J. Catalona, renowned prostate cancer research pioneer and surgeon, commented that Joe's perspective offers "hope and encouragement" rather than emphasizing the bad side effects that can occur with prostate cancer surgery...a vivid and often touching detail of one man's encounter with prostate cancer...will be appreciated by patients and their families for its accurate information, its clarity, and the hope and encouragement that it gives.

Download or read book With Hope in My Heart written by Francois Mai and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely do we see inside the life and mind of a psychiatrist, but that’s exactly what we get in With Hope in My Heart: Musings of a Spirited Psychiatrist. With candor and openness, author François Mai shares how and why he ventured into psychiatry, the lure of academia, and his professional triumphs and troubles along the way. Educated in Apartheid-era South Africa, Mai takes his clinical practice across five countries: South Africa, the United Kingdom, Australia, the US, and Canada. Inspired by his time and adventures in these places, as well as his greatest influences, psychiatrists William Sargant and George Engel, this memoir is for a diverse audience. Readers eager to learn more about the history of psychiatry and its contemporary problems will enjoy Mai’s commentary and professional anecdotes. Lovers of religion and spirituality contextualized in a secular society will appreciate the ways these intersect with Mai’s professional and personal lives. With Hope in My Heart is more than a psychiatrist’s memoir. It’s a deeply intimate look into the life of a man who endures the death of a brother who had life-long schizophrenia, and himself had two life-threatening medical diagnoses. With themes of hope, Mai navigates readers through tumultuous terrain of spirituality, morality, politics, life, and death.
Download or read book Hope 4 You written by Carole Lewis and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is hope? Where does it come from? How can believers face the future with confidence—not with blind optimism, but deep trust in God’s plans? In Hope 4 You, First Place 4 Health National Director Carole Lewis examines the theme of hope as presented in God’s Word, and illustrates what hope is and is not through the real-life experiences of Carole and a number of her friends in the faith. Carole leads readers on an exploration of Scripture, which identifies the Holy Spirit as the Source of all hope. With this understanding, believers can walk with God (which restores hope), work with God (which renews hope) and wait on God (which revives hope). Carole underscores that hoping is never passive or inactive; it is productive, meaningful and full of purpose. Hope motivates us to take practical steps toward our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual goals.

Download or read book Hot Flashes in a Cold World written by Alan Roberts MD and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a physician and a patient with cancer places me in the rather unique position of being able to educate others about prostate cancer from the vantage point of a physician who has cancer, and exploring and sharing those emotions common to all cancer patients, many of which are so often not talked about and most often not dealt with. This wearing of two hats, as it were, allows me to relate the dizzying day-by-day rollercoaster of my emotions through the course of diagnosis, treatment and its aftermath. I write not just as a patient but as a physician who is a patient, and about how being a physician adds another dimension to an otherwise not so unusual story; and if, in telling my story, I can help one other person deal a little bit better with his illness, and one other physician deal a little bit better with his cancer patients, then this writing will have served its purpose. My readers will be all of us since we will, all, at some time, have to deal with a life- threatening illness: its treatment, its consequences; its effect on those friends and families who share the event, and are affected by it in such myriad ways. We will experience how devastating it can be, but also how it can be survived (for however long). I can relate how one person experienced this ordeal; and how that one person, being a physician as well as a patient, can offer his experiences, not only for the benefit of patients and families but for physicians as well, with and without cancer.
