A Revolutionary Approach to Prostate Cancer: Alternatives to Standard Treatment Options Doctors & Survivors Share Their Knowledge Book

Everyone knows that to win a battle, you must first have a well thought out, knowledgeable plan of attack. A Revolutionary Approach to Prostate Cancer is the plan for sufferers of prostate cancer.

Between 1981 and 1991, prostate cancer killed 350,000 men. Perhaps the most frightening fact about this terrible disease is that every one of these people might have lived longer if their condition had been detected and treated sooner. It is also a fact that instead of becoming informed, most men remain ignorant about this dreaded killer.

Imagine if every man who has prostate cancer also had a crew of medical doctors at their side through every phase of their illness. From the first check-up, to watchful waiting, to dealing with family, friends, and loved ones, this team would coach the patient on how he should respond to his situation.

This book offers outlines, suggestions, and step-by-step instructions on dealing with physicians, diagnosis, treatments, economics, support, side-effects, and clinical trials. It also contains valuable information on detection, resources, support groups, and on-line help.

Through this book, Dr. Pilgrim and a team of more than twenty medical doctors share expert advice, personal stories, and sometimes humorous anecdotes to guide sufferers through their condition in a language that's easy to interpret and understand.

The net proceeds from A Revolutionary Approach to Prostate Cancer will be donated to Patient Advocates for Advanced Cancer Treatment.

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
