Prostate Cancer For Dummies

Even if you have advanced cancer that’s spread beyond the prostate, many treatments help extend your life for years. You need good information to help you with the decisions that lie ahead, and this book provides you with this information.

You don’t have to read this book from the first page straight on through, although you can. You may want to read the first chapter and then move to the chapters that affect you the most. In Prostate Cancer For Dummies, you’ll gain insight into

  • Discovering the key symptoms of prostate cancer
  • Recognizing the risk factors, and who’s most likely to have prostate cancer
  • Getting a diagnosis, and what’s involved

  • Changing your lifestyle to decrease your risk of a recurrence
  • Coping with the aftermath, from temporary to permanent side effects
  • Handling work and family, and how to help others understand what you’re going through

It’s extremely hard to hear from your doctor that you or a loved one has prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer For Dummies will help you achieve these goals and encourage you to maintain your commitment to managing your health.Product Description

Winning the Battle Against Prostate Cancer: Get the Treatment That is Right for You

Product Description

The range of controversial therapies and treatments for prostate cancer is greater than that of any other cancer affecting men. Many of the current books on prostate cancer suffer from considerable bias promoting one treatment over another without good scientific evidence. Winning the Battle Against Prostate Cancer is an unbiased and up-to-date look at prostate cancer treatments and therapies, resolving the problem of contradictory and incomplete information. Dr. Chodak outlines the pros and cons of all reasonable treatment options, recognizing that men and their families need more than just the facts — they are concerned not only with their survival but also what life will be like after treatment. This book offers empathetic insight into the impact of the disease on day-to-day activities so that patients and family members have a clear understanding of what lies ahead and options that are available should complications arise. The book does not gloss over the controversies but presents them in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner.
