Men are in a raging battle with prostate cancer with nearly 200,000
in the U.S. alone diagnosed with this disease each year. Using the
experiences of the author and others in treatment with him, this book will
help men and their families face this crisis, and provide an understanding
of the threat posed to all men, by examining how:
-
Prostate cancer is the leading type of cancer among men, yet men have remained
relatively silent, fostering a flawed medical care system. Men must
end their silence.
-
Having a father or brother with prostate cancer doubles a man’s risk.
Other risk factors include age, race, nationality and diet.
-
African Americans have the highest prostate cancer incidence and mortality
rates in the world requiring men in this group to take action earlier.
-
Prostate cancer is curable if it is detected early enough and the proper
treatment undertaken.
-
Some major medical organizations do not advocate routine PSA screening
creating an ongoing controversy among doctors. This calls into question
standards used to detect cancer at an early stage.
-
Many men survive prostate cancer by relying on their faith in God and the
power of prayer.
To help all men better understand their prostate, prostate care and treatment
options for prostate cancer, critically important information is provided
in the appendices.
