Autor John C. Hallenborg Cuvânt înainte de Fred S. Kuyt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2009 – vârsta până la 17 ani
In this moving memoir, a veteran business journalist details his recent bout with prostate cancer and what he learned about the disease and himself on the road to recovery.John Hallenborg did get tested for prostate cancer and is fully recovered today, thanks to "the healing processes of time, a great doctor, and loving family and friends." Life, Sex, and Prostate Cancer Surgery: How One Man Healed and Was Made Whole is his story.Hallenborg at last found a way to both medical and emotional well-being. With sardonic humor and psychological acuity, he tells of his experiences and feelings while dealing with "the big C"- the physical toll of the treatment, the fears of its effect on his sex life, and the other diseases that intruded along the way. Life, Sex, and Prostate Cancer Surgery is often graphic, always unflinching, sometimes hilarious, and ultimately uplifting. For anyone facing prostate cancer themselves or involved in the life of someone who is, it offers helpful information and hard-earned reasons for hope.

Recenzii

Now a decade following his radical prostatectomy at age 46 for prostate cancer, a writer based in Los Angeles relates how the initial fears led to healing. In this expansion of an article Hallenborg wrote about his experience, he candidly and with some humor reflects on the surgery's side effects and his progress physically and in relationships. He also notes advances in treatment since his diagnosis.
