Prostate cancer is expected to strike approximately 210,000 men in 1998 alone, and one out of every five men will contract prostate cancer at some point in his life. This book takes a unique and uncensored look at living with prostate cancer, telling the stories of ten-men from a wide array of backgrounds, geographic locations, and occupations. Each of the men was diagnosed at a different stage of the disease, and each has taken a different approach to his individual treatment. Here, these courageous survivors (and some of their wives) tell, in their own unique styles, what they experienced, from diagnosis, to treatment, to dealing with doctors. They discuss their personal experiences and treatments in detail, including the physical and psychological side effects of the disease-and the impact those side effects have had on them and their wives.
