For men, it's been called the time bomb - ticking between your legs. If a man lives long enough, leading oncologists say, he will eventually develop some sort of prostate disease or prostate cancer. This is harrowing and bracing health news for any man over the age of 40. And yet, when discovered early, prostate cancer is 92% CURABLE.

YOUR PROSTATE CANCER SURVIVORS' GUIDE is designed to help you manage the challenges of survivorship of this devastating but BEATABLE DISEASE. With a chorus of survivors' voices -- and the insights of their doctors, nurses and others on their support team – veteran authors and health journalists Bob Condor (nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes in health journalism) and Curtis Pesmen (Esquire writer and Money magazine health columnist) pinpoint exactly what it means to be a prostate cancer survivor today – and for decades to come. Ultimately, this book will help patients PUT PROSTATE CANCER IN ITS PLACE while moving forward with the power of new knowledge.
