By Desiree Lyon Howe. Author Desiree Lyon Howe. New devices and drugs have markedly decreased the permanence of dreaded side effects such as incontinence and impotence. The process of diagnosis and therapy, however, is complex and confusing. The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   His Prostate and Me: A Couple Deals with Prostate Cancer by Desiree Lyon Howe With an irrepressible sense of humor coupled with profound religious faith, Howe interweaves up-to-date information on medical advancements with her compelling human interest story of dealing with prostate cancer. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description In this remarkable book, Dee Howe, wife of the nation&#039;s leading lay expert on prostate cancer, offers a frank, witty and information-rich examination of her husband&#039;s and her experience with this frightening disease, from diagnosis all the way through successful treatment for post-surgical side effects.In clear and readable prose, she delineates the many new and effective treatment options available and offers details of the numerous resources existing to provide a couple with support in their fight.When caught early, prostate cancer is highly curable. Out of fear for the potential side effects of treatment, however, many men forego the simple PSA blood test that could indicate the disease in its most treatable stages.Howe argues persuasively against this head-in-the-sand approach by supplying facts that work to counter the fear.A prostate cancer diagnosis does not foretell a pleasant experience; but neither does it mean the end of a vigorous life for a couple. New techniques have made treatment, especially treatment of early stage cancer, less traumatic. New devices and drugs have markedly decreased the permanence of dreaded side effects such as incontinence and impotence.The process of diagnosis and therapy, however, is complex and confusing. Howe leads the reader through the maze with the latest information and helpful tips on coping gathered from her husband&#039;s and her experience, as well as that of others.With an irrepressible sense of humor coupled with a profound religious faith, Howe writes at a high level of technical competence, interweaving up to date information with her compelling human-interest story. Her extraordinary frankness about the difficulties sheand her husband transcended is inspirational.Every wife, partner, or loved one of a man diagnosed with prostate cancer will derive tremendous insight, guidance, and hope from the Howes&#039; story. Author Biography Howe is a patient education and advocacy expert.
