A Crash Course on Prostate Cancer: From One Woman's Perspective

Sometimes a woman just needs to hear certain things from another woman. And one of those times is when your husband may have prostate cancer.<p></p> <p>When author Lynne Rosenberg, a registered nurse and wife of a medical doctor, began to research this disease after her husband Mark was diagnosed, she found very little useful information about the day-to-day decisions and difficulties they would face. Scrambling to decipher test results, procedures, medications, and side effects, she discovered that each woman faces this process as if facing uncharted territory.</p> <p>Prostate cancer involves the physical and mental mechanisms that in some ways define both masculinity and intimacy, and Rosenberg confronts these subjects with refreshing frankness. After devoting more than a year to her husband's illness, treatment, and recovery, she has organized her experience into a readable and rational discussion that can help prepare women to deal with everything for which she herself had no preparation.</p> <p>While not intended to replace the doctor, nurse, or counselor in the management of this disease, <i>A Crash Course on Prostate Cancer: From One Woman's Perspective</i> will provide you with the support that only another woman can give.</p>
