Patient Perspectives on Prostate Diseases

12 men tell:

“How I beat prostate disease"

 

Discover revealing insights on the important choices that helped shape and speed successful outcomes in conquering prostate cancer, BPH, and prostatitis.

“Why me?”  The fact is, almost every man, by age 50, will suffer the “going and growing” problems of BPH. And nearly one man in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

"How do I make the right decision for me?" That is the far more critical question. That is the question this report is written to help you answer.  In Patient Perspectives on Prostate Diseases, a dozen men speak out on the therapies they chose, why, and how it worked out.

You’ll meet men ages 55 to 90…men debating how to deal with their BPH… men weighing their options for addressing their prostate cancer… men confronting the side effects of treatment.

You’ll learn what you should consider and what you can expect. Because prostate disease treatment is not a decision to be made lightly, you’ll welcome the candor with which these men — and many of the women who love them — share their steps, setbacks, and successes. 

“Our priorities were breathing, continence, and sex, in that order.” You’ll meet Tom and Catherine who selected a prostatectomy based on their priorities.  You’ll hear why Jeffrey chose active surveillance. And why Ben opted for surgery for BPH but offers an important warning. 

“The only thing I got from the pills was blue vision and a runny nose.” You’ll learn how some men overcame complications. Tim reveals an approach that resolved his erectile dysfunction when pills couldn’t…Chris shares a procedure to quell incontinence…and Adam tells the happy end to a problem posed by radiation.

“Today I feel great.”  These are success stories. All these men, as they look back, are able to look forward as well. Their decisions made the difference for them. Their stories can make the difference for you.
