Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery gives an evenhanded e·ven·hand·ed adj. Showing no partiality; fair. e  ven·hand assessment of
various options, including statistical data with an eye toward possible
contradictions or innacuracies hidden within the numbers. The goal is to
provide the reader with as much information as possible, in clear,
easy-to-understand terms, concerning prostate cancer, how it can be
treated, why some men are more or less likely candidates for surgery
than others, the risks involved in different types of treatment
including risks of temporary or permanent incontience or impotence and
how to get help--not only medical help, but also emotional and financial
help. A "must-read" for anyone researching or personally
grappling with difficult questions and problems concerning prostate
cancer, the better to confront one's doctor and discuss options
with as much knowledge about the situation as possible. Highly
recommended.
