About The Prostate Cancer Owner's Manual: What You Need
Product Description A vital overview of prostate cancer for the millions of men that are suffering and their loved ones The moment the family doctor says, “You might have prostate cancer,” most patients immediately ask themselves, “Am I going to die?” Their life is turned upside down as they are faced with a scary new reality they likely know little about. Patients must familiarize themselves with strange new medical terminology, tests, procedures, and, worst of all, major changes to their bodies. The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual offers clarity on these topics to help readers and their loved ones get through this life-changing diagnosis that will take years to overcome. Harley Haynes, MD, and Richard Miles have both been there and done that. As prostate cancer survivors, they understand the questions that recently diagnosed patients have and the challenges they face. Here, they provide a blend of medical expertise and personal knowledge and insight to help patients and their families make sense of the road ahead of them—equipping them with the facts they need to make informed decisions and confront prostate cancer head on. Haynes and Miles answer the questions readers may have and detail the possible outcomes they will face—without mincing words about the tough realities of living with prostate cancer—while offering hope for recovery. Review The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual is an outstanding and comprehensive resource that will be valuable for men and their families for years to come. Dr. Haynes and Mr. Miles provide so much understandable information for so many about this debilitating and potentially deadly disease. As authors, they did a terrific job in creating this book, and should be thanked for sharing their commitments to inform others. -- Anthony V. D'Amico, MD, PhD, professor of radiation oncology, Harvard Medical School, and chief, Division of Genitourinary Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute I am very positive about The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual because patients need to know what may lie ahead for them, and this book spells that out. Mr. Miles and Dr. Haynes don’t mince words. They see the problems and decisions patients face. They tell it as it is. They say what they believe based on their research and personal experiences. The book says what patients need to hear; it is relevant, important and straight-forward. This will be a good read for all patients, and people close to them. -- Mark Pomerantz, MD, assistant professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology Dr. Haynes and Mr. Miles perform a great service for readers of The Prostate Cancer Owner’s Manual when they draw attention to the fact that palliative care is not just about death and dying, but that it is about comprehensive symptom management in treating prostate cancer. I also appreciate their acknowledging the importance of the mind/body/spirit connection… and their focus on intimacy and communications. For the majority of men, the prostate cancer experience is often transformative. Patients and partners can discover that ‘having sex’ is a flexible experience, not just a narrow focus on penile/penetrative intercourse. It is great to be happy with intimacy! -- Sharon Bober, PhD, assistant professor of psychology, Harvard Medical School, senior psychologist, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Psychosocial Oncology Program, and director, Dana-Farber’s Sexual Health Program Book Description A vital overview of prostate cancer for the millions of men that are suffering and their loved ones About the Author Harley A.
