My doctor, the urologist and the radiation oncologist agreed, after the biopsy, that external radiation therapy was the best treatment for me. I went through the preparation process and then had 45 sessions of radiation therapy. I found this entire experience so fascinating that I kept a journal from the day of notification of a possible prostate problem to the completion of the therapy. After describing the preparation process, I broke down the narrative into daily experiences (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.). I describe what I observed, what I feel; I reminisce while on the treatment table. I let my mind wander back to my childhood, my love of music, travels, etc. I call this experience the \"FBC or the Full Bladder Club\" (a full bladder is required for this form of radiation therapy). I subtitled it \"One man's encounter with nine weeks of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. A story about an adult disease told with an adult sense of humor.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helmut Stefan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596300957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596300958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Science \u0026amp; Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Helmut Stefan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867083559167,"sku":"9781596300958","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05ff5f75-96d8-403e-829b-ad24971d5c54.jpg?v=1747453849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fbc-the-full-bladder-club-helmut-stefan-9781596300958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
