Good, But Read With Caution!,

This review is from: Brother to Brother: You Don't Have to Die With Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
As a physician recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, I found the book entertaining and easy to read in 2-3 hours due to the large text. I applaud him for encouraging men to have their prostates checked starting in their 40's. Unfortunately, the book is directed to Blacks more than to all men. The reader is cautioned that the author delays treatment and eventually chooses one form of therapy at a specific institution. The treatment option that has the greatest chance for cure is downplayed. Use this book as only one resource among several. Also, I would have liked more encouragement to let the diagnosis change your life for the better. Best wishes.

Extraordinary presentation of a very complex subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother to Brother: You Don't Have to Die With Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
This book impressed me because it presents a layman's view of prostate cancer in a very personal manner. The statistics presented in the book are an education on the number of African American men stricken with the disease. Reading this book has given both my husband and me a new perspective on prostate cancer and generated an interest in doing what we can to educate others. I recommend the book highly for anyone who wants to learn about the disease, anyone who has the disease, and families of those stricken with the disease. Dr. Walker has presented a very complex subject in terms that anyone can understand. Bravo!!

Physician reviews book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother to Brother: You Don't Have to Die With Prostate Cancer (Paperback)
In the only randomized placebo-controlled study every done on the radical prostatectomy, radical surgery was no better than placebo. Reverend Walker seems to figure this out. Instead of being pushed into surgery by several urologists he undergoes the much less harmful treatment of radiation seed implants. Definitely read this book and note how much pressure was put on the reverend to undergo surgery, while other less harmful options were ignored. The reverend triumphs over his urologists.
