CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 23 reviews)

Excellent read for anyone (wives especially) going through prostate cancer treatment.

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I had no clue where the prostate gland was or actually what it was suppose to do. After reading Dr. Scardino's book, I was prepared for anything and helped my husband through the terrible diagnosis with a positive attitude. I do not know what I would have done without this knowledge.

THE book for men with prostate problems

I picked up Dr. Scardino's book when I already knew that I had prostate cancer, but I'd recommend it for any man who is having prostate-related symptoms of any kind. The book's size is daunting at first, but it is very well organized and you can read only the chapters that apply to your situation. It is very readable and up to date. I have also found it helpful in the aftermath of my surgery, which I chose after weighing all the options. The book was very valuable in my decision-making process beforehand.

A Very Complete Resource

This book is perhaps the most complete reference I've used to orient myself to the nature of the disease of Prostate Cancer. Naturally a tad biased to the surgical solution (Dr Scardino is one of the highest rated Prostate Surgeons in the country), it delivers a wealth of information. Knowledge is power, and if you or a loved one have Prostate Cancer, you owe it to yourselves to read this book, and to research the topic in depth.

A must read for those with prostate cancer

After receiving treatment for prostate cancer, my husband had a lot of questions about side effects and if they were ever going away. His doctors were helpful and he searched the Internet and read everything he could, but he still had a lot of questions.

When this book came up on a search, I ordered it for him and we were surprised at how much information it contains. We have both learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone who has a lot of questions about prostate cancer or questions about how the prostate works.

Excellent Information

Very precise, easy to understand information about the prostate, urinary function and cancer. Also informative as far as treatment options for BPH and prostate cancer. We found that our doctor followed most of the information in this book. Anyone with prostate problems or problems with urinary function due to prostate enlargement and/or cancer, should read this book.
