1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer this year. Many of them will be devastated by the news from their doctors and they will enter into a world of medical terms and treatment choices that they do not fully understand.
Now, author Louise Fulton has compiled a book that is not just a story of one option that men can consider for treatment, instead, it takes a look at all of the treatment options available for men. The book uses charts, definitions, and tools to help men evaluate and compare solutions and to become their own advocate.
This book compares all of the treatment options in a clear, concise and direct manner. The 185-page spiral bound book is easy to read, includes images, definitions, worksheet entry points, medical center listings and locations, therapy comparisons, clinical trial investigations along with pages for readers to respond to biopsy questions with their own responses and notes.
Particularly helpful to readers is the section that is dedicated to self-listing of the patient’s current medications: by name, manufacturer, dosage, frequency, controls, and pharmacy contact. This section of the book works excellently as a diary for keeping all of the important information in one place. In the last chapter of the book there is a list of links and resources and a handy glossary fills the back of the book.
This educational workbook is a wonderful tool designed for use in the treatment option selection process. It gives men who are diagnosed the knowledge they need to be able to choose wisely what works for THEM! It is packed full of information that patients diagnosed with prostate cancer rarely ever consider when choosing a treatment option. This is a perfect book for anyone concerned about prostate cancer, those that you love and those you may know who are dealing with treatment options to fit their comfort level and lifestyle.
With the numerous treatments available to prostate cancer patients this book helps is intended to reduce the complexity of the process.
