Prostate cancer - David Loshak

Although prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in British men, those most at risk still know little about it. This book helps them know more but also shows they need not be unduly scared of it, so that they can live long and happy lives despite the disease. Women too - wives, partners, girlfriends, mothers - are as much concerned as the men they love and care for. This book shows what prostate cancer and other prostate problems mean, not only for the affected man, but also for them. Although the Internet offers masses of information about prostate cancer, some is hard to understand, some is misleading and some is confusing. Newspaper reports, often hyped, must be treated with caution too. By contrast, this book reliably, clearly and concisely says all you need to know in readily understandable form. David Loshak, though an experienced medical writer, is not a doctor; he writes in a non-technical way that typical people need, and discusses the often difficult emotional issues that arise, with sensitivity and empathy.
