Prostate and Cancer: A Family Guide to Diagnosis, Treatment, and SurvivalIfound the book very informitive, and well written for a layman to understand, It was written in a question and answer foremat and seemed to ask and answer questions that a man or his family woould want to know about Prostate Cancer.

This is an exellent guide Prostate And Cancer: A Family Guide To Diagnosis, Treatment And Survival (3rd Edition). Any man diagnosed with prostate cancer should read it before making any treatment decisions. After my biopsy confirmed cancer, my doctor asked me to read this book prior to our meeting regarding treatment. It was a great help and alleviated some fear. If you are in a relationship, your wife/partner should read it also. Another book you should read is Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer, Second Edition. Both books should be required reading for all men.

There are many treatment options open to the person diagnosed with prostate cancer. Of course, those available options are related to the specific qualities of the cancer. The person diagnosed with prostate cancer must have knowledge of these options, not only because that is the only way to understand what's going on, but more importantly, because he will ultimately be the one making the teatment option decision. The Sheldon Marks book discusses prostate cancer and the treatment options in a clear concise question / answer format. For myself, I relied on four sources to gather the information needed to make my own traetment option. Three of those sources were flesh and blood doctors. The fourth was this book.
