A MUST read for those on ADT

I stumbled upon: Prostate Cancer Research Institute - excellent site. And, a book,

"Androgen Deprivation Therapy: An Essential Guide for Prostate Cancer Patients and their Loved Ones." Written in simple English. Provides basics of how ADT works, and specific info re side effects, impact of ADT upon sexuality, emotions, relationships - yes, even a chapter or two about gay men with PC! Costs about $20. Worth it. I plan on buying a copy for my uro and rad doc; they need help in explaining what happens when one's testosterone is suppressed/deprived/killed. I had no idea that it would be as devastating as it has been; reading this book prior to starting ADT would have been a real help to me.
