Synopsis

Prostate Cancer Treatment Options: A Guide to the Basics provides the new cancer patient with a cogent rationale for determining his specifc treatment possibility. The book includes six three-color decision charts, so that the patient can separate those treatment possibilities that are appropriate from those inappropriate to HIS particular case. These charts are unique, as no other publication provides information in this manner. The book is focused on the basic parameters that each patient must know in order to make his decision. It outlines all the treatments open to him. It shows the expected statistics of each treatment, factors that should be considered in his choice of treatment. The book includes a glossary and unique appendices of the major treatment centers in the U.S. with their treatment speciality noted. The book is endorsed by prominent physicians in the field and by Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO, News Corp., who benefited by it.

About this title

About the Author

Will Connell is a retired aeropsace engineer who successfully mastered his cancer situation three years ago after researching the literature and after visiting many clinics on the west coast. He brought his training to bear on the problem of separating the wheat from the chaff in this regard. The results of this year-long work were many decision flow charts that allowed him to know for sure that we was on the right track in his decision process. When his physicians saw this work they put pressure on him to prepare clear artwork and write a text for the men who are suffering. He encountered many men during his treatment who were uneducated as to what they were undergoing, and had made a life-decision without knowing the full picture, and who were presenting for treatment frightened. Connell is addressing prostate cancer support groups and hospital groups to bring the words of hope and education and empowerment to the new cancer patient. His book and talks are well-received, and sales are increasing as a result.
