Will You (or Someone You Love) Get Prostate Cancer?: A Survivor Sheds Some Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434342096)

John Sias is a prostate cancer survivor, president of the New Hampshire Prostate Cancer Coalition and author of six published books. When he was diagnosed for prostate cancer in 2001, he immediately purchased or borrowed every available book, video and news article he could find on the subject of prostate cancer. Then he and his wife, Marie, devoured all this material, made notes, underlined books, and interviewed survivors, urologists and oncologists. Finally he made his treatment decision. He had already written two successful books in the Question and Answer format, one on religion, now in its ninth printing, and another about ice hockey containing 650 questions and answers. There are many books about prostate cancer but probably few written by a survivor, an author and a president of a state prostate cancer coalition. In addition to all men over 50, those who might find value in this book include public speakers, wives, sons, daughters, news media, and leaders in the nation's fight against state prostate cancer. "Easy to understand." "I can find what I want to know without having to wade through an entire book." This is a book you can skim and scan. It's not a book you'll read from cover to cover, nor is it a "everything you ever wanted to know" book. Although prostate cancer is America's number one cancer killer of men over 50, you might be interested in only a few dozen of the more than 200 questions and answers. But some of them might change your life. Or save it.
