Synopsis

This text tells the story of how businessman Allen Salowe drew from his experience in organizing and managing teams to taking charge of his own treatment plan - and his life - and how he triumphed in his battle with prostate cancer. Salowe explains how he utilized his skills as a problem solver, recounting his odyssey to discover the path to healing. There is clear, concise discussion of every phase of the disease, and instructions for how to research it through the Internet. This book offers men and their families a blueprint for finding the best medical care, and for forging an effective treatment plan that should lead to physical and emotional health.

About this title

From the Author

Patients report this book helped them the most.
A man is trained to believe he's bullet proof. His woman knows that he is not. When confronted with prostate cancer -- a life-threatening disease -- good information and an effective patient-physician partnership may save his life. Now, 5 years after first diagnosis and treatment the author's PSA remains < 0.1 (undetectable). This bottom line result follows a man-eating initial PSA of 41.8 and a Gleason grade 9. The conflicts in diagnosis, opinion, and treatment options provide the reader with a sharp focus for dealing with their own health.
