Over 200,000 Americans are diagnosed each year with prostate cancer. Most men think it will be someone else and not them who becomes the statistic. I know I did.
Just the word “cancer” creates in most a sense of extreme anxiety. After all, cancer is the second most frequent cause of death in the U.S. Fortunately for prostate cancer victims; prostate cancer has the highest cure rates of any cancer.
The stage of development at which prostate cancer and to some extent, the age of the individual, determines the method of treatment. There are numerous books that discuss in detail the treatment options. I will provide in this publication a list some of these for your further research.
This book is not about educating you on cancer and all the possible treatments but is one person’s journey through the prostate cancer process; the type of treatment chosen in conjunction with his oncologists; and the daily experiences and emotions as the treatment progressed. In this case, due to the early diagnosis and other factors, photon radiation treatments over a nine-week period, was prescribed.
