This book is a great source of valuable and very up-to-date information on prostate problems. More importantly, perhaps, this book is written by someone who clearly understands both medicine and patients - as demonstrated by these excerpts: "Always bear in mind ... that you're in charge. The doctor is only your advisor." (p51) "The doctor is not God and does not have all the answers. However, the best doctor will have a lot of information, experience, and wisdom from which you can draw when making your choices." (p220) "Don't let your doctor decide for you, or talk you into or out of anything. It's your health and your body, so it's your choice." (p145) "The best patient communicates well, and demands the best from his doctors." (p166) "It's the patients who give their doctors the most trouble, the ones who challenge treatment choices, who ask the most questions, and who refuse to play helpless that do the best." (p174) I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Prostate.

I wrote a review for this book, mistaking it for another with a similar title. I have not read this book. My apologies to the author.
