A Crash Course on Prostate Cancer

Sometimes a woman just needs to hear certain things from another woman. And one of those times is when your husband may have prostate cancer.</p><p>When author Lynne Rosenberg a registered nurse and wife of a medical doctor began to research this disease after her husband Mark was diagnosed she found very little useful information about the day-to-day decisions and difficulties they would face. Scrambling to decipher test results procedures medications and side effects she discovered that each woman faces this process as if facing uncharted territory.</P><p>Prostate cancer involves the physical and mental mechanisms that in some ways define both masculinity and intimacy and Rosenberg confronts these subjects with refreshing frankness. After devoting more than a year to her husband's illness treatment and recovery she has organized her experience into a readable and rational discussion that can help prepare women to deal with everything for which she herself had no preparation.</P><p>While not intended to replace the doctor nurse or counselor in the management of this disease <I>A Crash Course on Prostate Cancer: From One Woman's Perspective</I> will provide you with the support that only another woman can give.</P>
