Description
Prostate Cancer: The Patient’s Survival Guide to PSA, Surgery, Radiation, Hormone Therapy & Breakthroughs by Albert I. Bodine
When the words “you have prostate cancer” enter the room, life changes in an instant. Questions multiply: What do my PSA numbers really mean? Which tests matter? Should I choose surgery, radiation, hormones—or watchful waiting? How do I protect my quality of life?
Albert I. Bodine’s practical, plain-English guide walks you step by step through every stage of decision-making, from first lab result to long-term survivorship. It’s the handbook patients and families reach for when they need clarity, options, and a calm voice they can trust. Inside you’ll find: What PSA, Gleason grade, MRI, and biopsy results actually tell you—and how to discuss them with your doctor. Clear comparisons of major treatment paths: surgery, external-beam radiation, brachytherapy, hormone therapy, active surveillance, and combination approaches. Side-effects explained in real-world terms, with strategies for preserving continence, sexual function, and energy. Questions to ask at every appointment, plus decision checklists you can take along. Nutrition, fitness, and mental-health habits that support treatment and recovery. Breakthroughs to watch—imaging, genomic testing, targeted therapies—and how they may affect your choices. Guidance for partners and caregivers, insurance and second-opinion tips, and a roadmap for follow-up care. This book does not tell you what to do; it shows you how to decide —with confidence and on your own terms. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, weighing options, supporting a loved one, or navigating life after treatment, you’ll come away informed, prepared, and empowered.
Take the next step with knowledge on your side—and make the plan that’s right for you.
