Download or read book The Prostate Monologues written by Jack McCallum and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.

Download or read book Gentle Warrior written by Joyce Wilson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written by the mother and daughter survivors of our 17 year battle with prostate cancer. Our soul-mate fought so valiantly and underwent many radical procedures, salvages of salvages to be exact. He had so many procedures done to him over the years that medics at the time thought he had gone further than any man in the UK. Although the journey can be a roller coaster ride it is frequently the most out and out frightening one for those concerned. This book illustrates one particular journey, our journey, with the choices, therefore the roads trodden, as a result of these choices. It is not meant to imply that we trod the correct paths or indeed made the right choices. However the journey can be lonely for those involved and the hope is that an insight into our many battles will encourage others to fight for that one life that they have and enjoy it. It really is worth it. We enhanced our journey wherever possible and we hope that you might be able to see how you could enhance yours.

Download or read book Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery written by Bradley Hennenfent and published by Roseville Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 338 pages. 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."
