Beginner's Guide to Prostate Cancer
|
Cancer Times relates one man's experience with prostate cancer and his traumatic and occasionally hilarious progress through the hospitals, doctors and numerous treatments associated with the disease. It is a personalised view based on the initial blogs that he sent to concerned friends and family as his illness progressed.
The author hopes that this sometimes irreverent and highly illustrated book will help other men and their families to come to terms with life after prostate cancer diagnosis and that the information, corroborated by medical professionals, is both useful and entertaining. |

In May 2012 I was diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer. My PSA reading was 68 and my stage was T3. A biopsy discovered that my prostate contained a malignant tumour and I had a Gleason score of 4+3. I had a prostatectomy operation later that year in August.
Cancer Times follows the progress from diagnosis to my current situation via the prostatectomy operation and the treatments, both traditional and alternative that I have received.
In July 2019 I started 7 weeks of radiotherapy.
