Experience Of Prostate Cancer: How To Live Well After A Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: Prostate Cancer Symptoms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798507081622)

Living with prostate cancer can affect your everyday life, work and relationships. Even if you've stopped treatment you might still have side effects, and worry about your cancer coming back.

The author has written candidly and with self-deprecating humour about every aspect of his experience, from his diagnosis in 2011 to his radical prostatectomy in 2012 and its aftermath. He describes both the physical and emotional journeys with reflections along the way based on his efforts to make meaning of what he was experiencing. While quick to emphasize that he is not a medical expert and that no two men's experiences will be identical, he offers openness as a gift to other cancer patients and their families and friends. The writing is scrupulously unsentimental while acknowledging deep vulnerability, disturbing questions, anger, uncertainty and fear.
