The Prostate Cancer Answer Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am a Cancer Information Specialist for the Cancer Information Service of the National Cancer Institute. We are the well-known 800 4 CANCER hotline number. We use this book every day on the phones with patients and family members. Because I use it so much I have probably read it (in bits and pieces) twenty times. It is fabulous and very readable. It has an easy-to-read question and answer format. It answers question like "Will the biopsy spread my cancer?" and "Where can I get proton beam therapy?" and seemingly every other question a prostate cancer patient might have. If you have prostate cancer then BUY THIS BOOK and read it entirely before making any treatment decisions. This very inexesive book is one of the best investments you will every make.Please note that I have no connection to this book or the authors or the publishing company and am making this review without anyone having asked me to and of course without any kind of compensation at all. I just love this incredibly useful book. Also note that this is a my personal review and is not meant to reflect in any way the opinions of the Cancer Information Service or the National Cancer Institute.
