Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The niche bestseller "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery" begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style.The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has known many men who suffered from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery: impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion.Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the "Journal of Urology" lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery," Dr. Pitts said: "Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I've abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option.""Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that about 90% of all prostate cancer surgery done to date has failed to extend the life of the patient," says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book's author, who adds, "This will be news to most men.""Surgery should not be advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer," says Dr. Hennenfent, "although surgery does increase the lifespan of about 10% of highly selected patients, and improvements in surgery are constantly being developed.""My book details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active surveillance, noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade."

Book excerpt: Although prostate cancer is a disease that strikes nearly 200,000 men every year, it is a disease that has been shrouded in silence, in part because it strikes at the very core of masculine identity.

With unsparing frankness, Korda describes how he survived the ordeal of prostate surgery and its painful and humiliating aftereffects. He tells us how tumors are graded, evaluates different treatments, and makes sense of prostate cancer's mystifying "numbers."

Download or read book Proton Warriors written by Harold H. Dawley Jr. Ph. D. and published by Wellness Institute. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you (or a loved one) have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, danger lies ahead. Efforts will be made to either treat it unnecessarily or with procedures with risks of side effects so severe you will regret it. The Prostate Cancer Industry is a vast array of medical device manufacturers, heath care facilities, physicians and others who generate over a billion dollars annually from treating prostate cancer of which only 20% is actually life threatening. Efforts will be made to scare you into believing you need immediate treatment with most of you being encouraged to have surgery or other treatment provided by the urologist who diagnosed your prostate cancer or an associate. DON'T RUSH INTO TREATMENT until you have obtained an independent second or third opinion from a medical oncologist or internist unrelated to the physician who diagnosed it. To survive prostate cancer AND the prostate cancer industry you must educate yourself on prostate cancer and the different ways it can be treated. Keep in mind that what is in your doctor's best interest may not always be in your best interest. The author selected the non-invasive treatment of proton therapy because of its established effectiveness and least risk of serious side effects. He describes his surprisingly pleasant journey through prostate treatment and encourages you to consider proton therapy as your treatment.
