Book Description
Three years after surgery to have my prostate removed, my cancer returned requiring eight weeks of daily radiation treatments. Humor allowed me to face this journey in a hopeful, light-hearted way and to ease the fears of those around me. I figured, life is what you make it, so you might as well make it fun. One man out of every six will deal with a prostate cancer diagnosis in his lifetime. Laughing With Cancer was written to chronicle a very personal journey in a compelling hilarious memoir. It is as refreshingly frank and informative as it is hysterical. Written from a unique perspective, I put the reader in my shoes and invite them to experience the journey with me. Laughing With Cancer is a must read for any man facing prostate cancer, as well as his family, friends, and anyone else who wants to be entertained, while learning about a timely subject too often couched in strict medical terms.

The Prostate Monologues

Author: Jack McCallum
Publisher: Rodale
ISBN: 1609610555
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 243

Book Description
Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.

Pages : 101

Book Description
An estimated 1 out of every 6 men will have to come to grips with prostate cancer, and while there is abundant clinical information about prostate cancer available, we dont hear much from the men who have actually been through prostatectomy surgery or what theyve experienced during recovery. In My Prostate Cancer Adventure and the Lessons Learned, I take the reader through my experiences from the time I first learned of my cancer, my thoughts of how to deal with it, and what I experienced during my recovery. I tell my story on a personal level. Im direct and to the point. So if youre looking for a politically correct discussion of the topic put this book back on the shelf and look elsewhere. I talk man to man about a mans problem. My goal in writing this book is to let guys know what they can expect if they choose to undergo prostatectomy surgery. Theres not a lot of drama in this book. You may have to forgive my French because I tell my story without a lot of embellishment mostly.
