Summary
Prostate cancer is the male equivalent of breast cancer - the number of victims is almost identical - though it receives considerably less attention. This story of one man's experience is an attempt to break through the barrier of silence and isolation to write about the disease with frankness.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Prostate cancer is the male equivalent of breast cancer - the number of victims is almost identical - though it receives considerably less attention. This painfully honest book is an attempt to break through the barrier of silence and isolation to write about prostate cancer - surviving it successfully - with a frankness found lacking in every other book on the subject. It is one man's story and every case of cancer is as individual as the person whose life it threatens; yet everybody who has had it shares certain fears, experiences and doubts. It is a kind of all-male club and membership is not dependant on race, creed or sexual preference. Michael Korda joined the club, unexpectedly, at 2:30 in the afternoon of Thursday 20 October, 1994. This is his story.
