About Man To Man: Surviving Prostate Cancer
Product Description Although prostate cancer is a disease that strikes nearly 200,000 men every year, it is a disease that has been shrouded in silence, in part because it strikes at the very core of masculine identity. But in Man to Man, bestselling author Michael Korda breaks that silence, turning the story of his illness and recovery into a candid and instructive book that speaks not only to every man and woman whose life has been touched by prostate cancer but to everyone who lives in fear of it. With unsparing frankness, Korda describes how he survived the ordeal of prostate surgery and its painful and humiliating aftereffects. He tells us how tumors are graded, evaluates different treatments, and makes sense of prostate cancer's mystifying "numbers." Practical, immensely readable, filled with information, and, above all, hopeful, Man to Man is literally a life-saver. Review Mr. Korda tells his own story with unflinching candor.... As powerful as Man to Man is as personal testimonial, it is not a public-health manifesto.... His mission is to make men realize that prostate cancer, despite all the publicity about how slow-growing and common it is, is a dangerous, silent killer that must be dealt with speedily. In this he succeeds extravagantly. -- The New York Times Book Review, From the Publisher "By far the best book on prostate cancer yet written. Men and women both should read it -- it might well make the difference between life and death." -- Richard Rhodes "Man to Man brings prostate cancer out of the closet ... Mr. Korda tells his story with unflinching candor."-- The New York Times Book Review "Proves that a single, highly personal moving account of an individual's illness can provide more education ... than every medical text on the planet."-- Los Angeles Times "An eye-opening and important book."-- San Francisco Chronicle From the Inside Flap state cancer is a disease that strikes nearly 200,000 men every year, it is a disease that has been shrouded in silence, in part because it strikes at the very core of masculine identity.
