"A must read book for prostate cancer patients and their partners!"

It's the second leading killer of American men.

It doesn't have to be that way.

What happens when a middle-aged man, facing all sorts of new concerns about his virility, suddenly discovers that he has prostate cancer? In the overwhelming majority of cases, men in this situation turn to the women in their lives. In keeping with this reality, Men, Women, and Prostate Cancer is primarily addressed to the women who care for men during their illness.

Authors and lecturers, Sandra Haber, Ph.D., and Barbara Wainrib, Ed.D., offer detailed, lifesaving information about the disease and take readers step-by-step from cause, detection, and diagnosis through treatment, recovery, and post-treatment life. Striking a healthy balance between technical knowledge and practical how-to suggestions, they use easy-to-understand language to demystify treatment options, procedures, and side effects, and offer helpful advice on how partner and patient can deal with sexual and emotional issues before, during, and after diagnosis.

Readers learn:

• Why and how prostate cancer develops and how it's diagnosed.
• How to deal with the practical and emotional issues of the diagnosis.
• What treatment options are available and how to choose among them.
• What alternative medicine treatments are available.
• How to deal with post-treatment issues, including sex, continence and piece of mind.
