What 1-2 books would you recommend for a woman to help understand her man's prostate cancer journey

[Lyubov]

I recall Dr. Scholz had a book out & wonder if this is still recommended and/or are they're newer publications to help women help understand so they can be as supportive as possible.

The Bible of Prostate Cancer:Dr Patrick Walsh- How to Survive Prostate Cancer

John Hopkins

[Lyubov in reply to Spyder54]

Thank you. I was thinking of this one but couldn't remember the title & author. It was exceedingly helpful to me when I hadn't a clue. And I benefited & continue to benefit immensely from this group.

Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers by Dr Mark Scholtz is a game changer for women to read. And research as much as you can about impacts and outcomes for him and you. Ask what the side effects of EVERY treatment are. Likely you will be negatively impacted no matter what your man decides to undergo. It is a really awful disease but living is risky and dangerous if one truly lives. Great outcomes to you and yours💕

Hi Dr Walsh's book was v helpful and also Dr Myers. A Salamander's Tale by P. Steinberg was helpful too. Good luck.

[Lyubov in reply to spw1]

Some have mentioned Ed Friedman's book. I forget the name but still available.

how not to die, by gene stone and michael gregor.

chapter 13 - how not to die from prostate cancer.

take the contents with either a grain of salt, or the whole shaker,

but i did chapter 13 without exception. my PSA dropped from

26 to 1 in 21 days before any other treatments were done.

no animal growth hormones in my food chain was the requirement of chapter 13.

no eggs, milk, dairy, chicken, beef, pork, turkey, or fun.

their premise is that if it makes the critter grow fast, it'll make the tumor grow fast,

that it's cellular fertilizer. seems they were correct.

i had doubts, but nothing to lose. i was stage III, while they looked for stage IV.

if it didn't work, i know how to find the smoker in my backyard.

it took ten days to show effects. then my PSA dropped 11 points in 4 days.

i'm not a willing vegan, i'm a living vegan. i don't like veggies much.

but i like stage four cancer less.

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful that it works so incredibly well for you!

Several of the spouses in our FB spouses support group recommend 100 Questions and Answers About Prostate Cancer. Author is Pamela Ellsworth. It's around 260 pages in the latest edition.

[Lyubov in reply to Bethpage]

Thank you. Nice to get the woman's view/experience.

[Bethpage in reply to Lyubov]

Of course Dr. Walsh's book is recommended as well. We try to provide several options.

Only two books that I ever read regarding women:

First book written by a woman entitled "Why do women fake orgasms?"

Second book written by a man entitled "Who cares?"

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[Lyubov in reply to j-o-h-n]

I was warned about you! Personally, I don't know of any women who fake orgasms, definitely not nowadays! Sorry for the men who "don't care," because they lose out by not fully satisfying the woman!!!

[j-o-h-n]

Remember, some men fake foreplay.......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Hi. I have found the book 'An ABC of Prostate Cancer' 3rd edition by Alan Lawrenson to be the most helpful for Advanced Prostate Cancer. Good luck and best wishes.
