Comments

Marvel: Very good book for reference. Be advised it it based on a doctor’s viewpoint with PCa. Also, he goes the surgery route without very much background information. The field of treatment of PCa has changed slightly since this book was written and that should be taken into consideration.

AJ: Look, this was a scary time for me as I'm sure it was/is for everybody once they get that diagnosis. This book helped me with my own surgery vs radiation decision. The way he presented the pros and cons of each treatment just followed the way I think I guess. I read this book and Walsh's book - neither cover to cover but the parts I needed to read at the time. Walsh's book was more facts and statistics whereas this book was more of a guide for your thought process to help you arrive at your own personal decision. The author seems to have had a more difficult time as far as incontinence than I am (I had the surgery about 6 weeks ago). If I recall he had the catheter for several weeks and then had to use a condom catheter for several months so reading that had me a little apprehensive. But it just goes to show that everybody's response to treatment will be different.

One thing I will caution everyone on is that once you hit the internet, there is a lot of "marketing" for the different forms of treatment.

Mike S: Having just been diagnosed with prostate cancer (Gleason score 6, low volume) and not yet decided on a treatment I ordered this book as part of a number of sources I'm going trough to better understand what I have and the options for treatment.

First the positive of Dr. McHugh's book, it doesn't pull punches and provides both an insight of someone who has gone through this themselves as well as laying out the pro's and con's of different treatment options. In particular the worksheets are a good starting point to focus on what therapeutic modality may make the most sense for the reader.

Now the reason I gave it a three. No matter how much Dr. McHugh say's that he is trying to be balanced, I felt that as a surgeon himself who chose surgery to treat his prostate cancer, there was a slant toward surgery, unless you are obviously not a candidate for it, as the treatment of choice. At one point in fact he stated that it seemed to him that patients who chose radiation were more unhappy with their choice then those who chose surgery. Left unsaid, is that obviously the radiation patients he would see were the ones who came to him with after the procedure with problems and...
