Description
An Honest, Reassuring Guide to What Happens If You Suspect You Have Prostate Cancer and After You Are Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.
When the author was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2024, the shock was immediate, the treatment daunting, and the waiting endless for tests, then test results, then the appropriate treatment. Like millions of men facing the same frightening news, he had little idea what to expect next.
Now he is some way into his treatment, he decided to write the very book he wished he’d had from the start.
This is not a heavy medical textbook nor one with the authority of a medical background and it’s not a dense encyclopaedia of statistics. Instead, it’s a short, supportive, straight-talking personal companion for anyone who is:
✔ worrying about symptoms although prostate cancer can be symptomless
✔ undergoing tests
✔ waiting for biopsy results
✔ newly diagnosed
✔ starting treatment
✔ supporting a loved one with prostate cancer
With warmth, clarity and the experience of someone who’s living through it, the author explains:
🔬 Symptoms and testing – what they really mean
🧪 How to interpret the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and biopsy results
🏥 What happens during diagnosis
💉 Treatment options and their side-effects
🧠 The mental and emotional impact
📈 Why survival rates are so encouraging
🤝 Where to find support and camaraderie from friends and family
You’ll also learn why men over 40—especially Black men—must pay close attention to prostate health, and why early detection offers the best outcome.
⭐ A Short Book with a Big Purpose
This book doesn’t overwhelm you with medical jargon. It puts an arm around your shoulders, helps you ask the right questions, prepares you for what comes next, and reminds you:
