Man to Man: Surviving Prostate Cancer

Man to Man: Surviving Prostate Cancer

by Michael Korda (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews
'An important wake-up call on prostate cancer as a parallel to breast cancer. . all will benefit from reading Michael Korda's pioneering book.' Gloria Steinem 'MAN TO MAN, despite its how- to subtitle, is a work of literature and a fine one.' Larry McMurry 'Wonderful... the most spellbindingly frank, honest and useful book you can read about dealing with the realities of prostate cancer.' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Michael Korda has performed a medical public service. He has faced up to, dealt with, and triumphed over the masculine nightmare of prostate cancer. I was stunned by his candour and moved by his courage.' Dominick Dunne 'MAN TO MAN is a powerful personal story and by far the best book on prostate cancer yet written. Men and women both should read it- it might well make the difference between life and death.' Richard Rhodes 'A courgaeous, compelling, honest account which will shed light on a subject too many will not or cannot confront.' ALL SPORT AND LEISURE MONTHLY 'Candid and informed, this sober, cautious and courageous account shed light on this subject in a more than useful way.' BEVERLEY GUARDIAN AND CITIZEN
