5 out of 5 stars Good Support for newly diagnosed.   May 13, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

My husband appreciated the first hand reports of individuals who had been through the different options for a "cure". Their experiences helped him to decide the treatmenthe is going to use.


5 out of 5 stars Must have reading!   August 10, 2010
Les Gwyn Williams
This book is a "must have" for anyone diagnosed or caring for someone who is diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Even though I have already had the surgery I found the book to be very helpful when discussing the disease with friends and colleagues. It takes a lot of soul searching to come up with the right course of treatment to follow. The many different experiences related here could make a difference in the way you feel or reassure you that you are on the right track. I found the detail to be very true to my experience and I only wish I had this book 4 years ago when I was diagnosed.
The one thing that I brought away from my reading was that I was not alone, and that was the major thought in my mind when the call came in from my Urologist! I urge anyone who has or supports someone who has prostate cancer to read this book!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE....
