Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The road ahead is yours to travel. Parts of the future may seem clear, some of it will be uncertain, either way, it belongs to you. We can’t always choose what comes our way. But we can choose how we respond.” It’s tough living with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. While the disease has one of the highest survival rates of any cancer, the side-effects of treatment can be life-long and take a heavy toll on men’s mental health. Of the more than 3.7million men globally who are living in the aftermath of a diagnosis, many will experience anxiety and depression, sometimes long-term. Not all will seek help for their mental health needs. So too for those who know them and love them – life is often never the same. This book will give you practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety, improve health and wellbeing, navigate tough challenges, and to find a sense of ease about the situation in which you find yourself. Written by one of the world’s foremost experts in the psychology of cancer, it is structured so that you can choose whatever chapter seems most relevant to your present situation. First released in 2013, it has been updated with new contributions and additional chapters for this new edition. The book shares personal stories and insights from men and their partners in plain-speaking style, offering emotional comfort and inspiration. While your experience of prostate cancer is uniquely your own, Facing the Tiger reveals the wisdom of others who have already walked the path.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded a 2012 American Journal of Nursing (AJN) Book of the Year Award in the Consumer Health Category One Man's Life-Changing Diagnosis provides a comprehensive patient's eye view of the clinical, emotional, relational and spiritual experience of prostate cancer from the time of first symptoms to diagnosis to treatment and to living as survivor with an advanced cancer that can return at any time. The book discusses everything that results from a diagnosis of prostate cancer, from relationships to sex to social networking to finding support groups. And it explores feelings - why some men feel free to talk openly while others remain silent and what that silence is about. It teaches strategies for coping with the often-inappropriate responses when the individual tells relatives, friends and acquaintances that he has prostate cancer. One Man's Life-Changing Diagnosis shows: How to become an informed advocate for your own particular clinical situation by knowing where - and where not to seek information online How to make informed judgments about a treatments validity Why men with prostate cancer tend to deal with their illness quite differently than women who have breast cancer - and what that implies for a person's well-being

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer. However this cancer is highly curable and most men live for many years after treatment; only eleven percent of cancer deaths are due to prostate cancer. It is well known that the side effects of the treatment cause more suffering than the disease itself. Side effects of surgery include incontinence and erectile difficulties; radiation therapy leads to urinary and bowel problems; and androgen deprivation (hormone) therapy leads to a broad range of long-term side effects affecting physical and emotional functioning. But it is not only the man who suffers through treatment and its side effects. The partners and spouses of prostate cancer survivors are known to experience distress as the man they love moves through the various stages of diagnosis, treatment, and survival. While prostate cancer is a couples' disease, there is much attention paid to the man with cancer and very little to the person and his partner or spouse, who is his prime supporter and who often struggles to make sense of what has happened and why, and how best to support and take care of him. Prostate Cancer and the Man You Love speaks to the loving partners/spouses of men with prostate cancer, whether soon after diagnosis, or later when the man gets on with the rest of his life. Katz includes both the medical information necessary to understanding the disease and firsthand accounts from cancer patients and survivors and their partners. Tips for communication and problem solving, with both partners and health care teams, are offered throughout. Anyone dealing with prostate cancer will find in these pages comfort and insight, as well as specific advice for coping, healing, and moving forward in the spirit of healing and love.

Book excerpt: The author Pat Walsh lived in silent denial for ten years. In spite of evidence to the contrary, Walsh believed that there was no way he had prostate cancer. His false belief was based on fear and ignorance. Pat believed that if he had prostate cancer, it would kill him or at the very least, rob him of his dignity and manhood. Pat never spoke to another person about his fears not even his physicians. Thanks to the hard-hitting words of his concerned urologist, however, Walsh eventually received the treatments he needed, and is now a cancer survivor. Pat's goal is to increase awareness about prostate cancer a disease that affects as many as one in every seven African-American men and one in every eight Caucasian men-a disease that most men choose not to talk about. Walsh hopes to reach countless other men who face issues similar to the ones he faced. Instead of suffering in silence, or being overwhelmed by fear, ignorance and denial, readers may find that they're not as alone as they thought, and receive some valuable information along the way. With his optimism and sense of humor as strong as ever, Walsh recounts his battle with, and recovery from, prostate cancer in candid detail-while providing valuable information including a basic understanding of the prostate and prostate cancer, encouragement to speak to others including a physician regarding prostate cancer and an optimism that hopefully will eliminate some of the fear related to prostate cancer. Still Smiling with a foreword by David B. Samadi, MD Chairman of Urology, Chief of Robotic Surgery Lenox Hill Hospital, Fox News Medical Correspondent and Medical Co-Host of SUNDAY HOUSECALL is a must-read for men and those who love them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics are sobering: over 200,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. With this diagnosis, men are expected to psychologically combat the worry, practical concerns, and the emotional and physical changes during an immensely trying time. How to help? In Managing Prostate Cancer: A Guide for Living Better, Dr. Andrew J. Roth, a psychiatrist specializing in psychological support for cancer patients, provides the emotional skills and strategies necessary to help patients deal with the challenges a prostate cancer diagnosis brings to everyday life. These tools, which Dr. Roth terms "Emotional Judo," effectively teach patients to identify what their fears are rooted in, how to distinguish the rational and irrational aspects of their thoughts and behaviors, make healthier choices to promote a more positive approach, and ultimately transform their lives into a more fulfilling and peaceful journey.
