Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Little Brown Edition. Hardback. Man to Man. Surviving Prostate Cancer. Browning to edges of pages. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. In the autumn of 1994 the author was diagnosed as having prostate cancer. For several years he had been examined, tested and given medication, always with the arrusance that everything was all right - until it wasn't. But the discover of the actual cancer was only the beginning of his ordeal. This book relates not only what he and his wife Margaret went through, but, more importantly, what they learned in the process. With uncommon frankness Korda writes of overcoming incontinence and impotence, the truth about the various treatments, how tumours are graded and the reality of the 'numbers'. Switching between Korda's personal experiences - including the operation itself - and stories about doctors, patients and recovery groups, this book is candid, informative and, above all, hopeful. Korda sheds light on prostate cancer with an honesty and intensity never before seen in a book on this subject. 255 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
