This book is the one I wish Id come across when I joined the fraternity or soon thereafter. It takes a hard look at some of the non-medical issues you may not have thought about. If it has succeeded, youll recognize them when they turn up in your life. Youll learn how some other men have dealt with them and get ideas about how you might manage them in your own way. Not least, youll discover some new ways to think about your situation.
What this book is not about is treating prostate cancer. There are countless volumes on that topic. Its about dealing and living with prostate cancer; about handling unfamiliar situations that are going to arise; about regaining a sense of control; about living productively, well and yes, happily to the outer limits of possibilities.
