Product Description
Surgery for prostate cancer is not a simple decision; there are many other options, including doing nothing, and men must have the information they need to make informed, safe decisions about the various alternatives – and the risks. By supporting men through what can be an emotional and often confusing decision process, as well as during procedures and afterwards, The Complete Canadian Guide to Prostate Cancer allows men to be comfortable with their medical choices in Canada – whatever they decide. Canadian men and their families will find everything they need in this book to conquer prostate disease and continue living full, active lives.

As a gay man, I wish this book had been around when I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer. No need to suffer in silence anymore-this medical team has written the definitive book on prostate cancer for all men, straight or gay.

5.0 out of 5 stars
essential reading,
By R. Gray "Ridgetown Rick" (Ridgetown, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Complete Canadian Guide to Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
This is a clearly written, straightforward book. It tells you what prostate cancer is in clear understandable language. It explains all the options and the advantages and disadvantages of each. It tells you how to prepare yourself both physically and psychologically for treatment once diagnosis is confirmed. It tells you what to expect after you have had surgery or radiation. It goes so far as to even give you a checklist of what you'll need to take to the hospital with you. This is a very thorough, very readable text. All men should read it, even if you have not been diagnosed with prostate cancer, as it gives you suggestions on how to prevent the disease and it talks about other conditions that you might confuse with prostate cancer symptoms. If you are male and over 40, buy this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and patient-oriented,

This review is from: The Complete Canadian Guide to Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
You can tell that the primary author on this book is a nurse. My surgical oncologist has written a book on prostate cancer and, basically, it contains nothing useful from the patient perspective. Nurses are WAY closer to the ground on this score. In addition to the things you'd expect, the book gives you good information on things like what to pack for the hospital, what happens at pre-admission clinics, how to manage a catheter (yuck, but someone has to tell you these things), exercise and diet plans for before and after treatment, etc. I read this using a library copy but have now purchased one because it seems as useful as a travel guidebook to me. Cheers, and all the best wishes to you! Ron
