The Cancer Guide for Men (Overcoming Common Problems Series) [Paperback]

Helen Beare (Author), Neil Priddy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1999 | Series: Overcoming Common Problems Series

Anyone who's coping with cancer needs accurate, and sympathetic information on all the issues - practical, medical and emotional. For men it can be difficult to find this information or to ask for it. This book provides clear non-technical information about the cancers men get, how they progress and the kind of treatments you're likely to be offered. There is advice about talking to doctors, getting through daily life after the diagnosis, plus financial and other practical matters. Special issues for men, from fertility to coping at work, are addressed in a down-to-earth, realistic way.
