About this title

Synopsis

The personal story of how one prominent businessman survived his experience with this common cancer provides inspiration for recovery as well as practical, current information about diagnosis, treatment, and resource options. Reprint.

Reviews

Prostate cancer (PCa) has been gaining attention from increased public awareness, improved testing methods, and the number of prominent men who are identified as PCa survivors (Bob Dole, Sidney Poitier, and Norman Schwarzkopf among many others). In this information-packed addition to the literature, Salowe, a businessman who battled this cancer, emphasizes how each case is unique ("a statistic of one") and how PCa affects the family. Like Michael Korda's Man to Man (LJ 4/15/96) and James Payne's Me Too (LJ 4/15/95), Salowe's work provides a personal account with much valuable medical information explaining the "jargon" of the disease (PSA, DRE, Gleason Grading, cryotherapy, and the confusing array of therapeutic choices). His book is highly recommended for its clearly written explanations and its usefulness as a handbook for educating a newly diagnosed PCa man and his family to the disease's essential facts.?James Swanton, Harlem Hosp.
