10 INTERESTING CASES,1 HORMONE THERAPY ONLY

2 DECEASED (WE NOTE BOTH HAD RADICAL PROSTATECTOMIES AND RADIATION); 8 STILL SURVIVING (APPEAR TO HAVE USED HORMONE THERAPY). 1 USED INTERMITTENT HORMONE THERAPY ONLY, AND STILL ALIVE NINE YEARS LATER. VERY DIFFERENT ATTITUDES UPON DISCOVERY OF PC AND HOW THEY ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE. VERY FRANK DISCUSSIONS BY ALL, AND REACTIONS CONCERNING THEIR PHYSICIANS AND TREATMENT. SERIOUS SITUATIONS PLUS SOME INTERESTING HUMOR, ABOUT A MAJOR ILLNESS. NECESSARY TO READ ENTIRE BOOK TO GET FULL COVERAGE ON THE SUBJECT. ESPECIALLY INTERESTING COMMENTS ON RESEARCH, LATEST TREATMENTS AND MEDICATION.
