1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making the Prostate Therapy Decision (Paperback)
In comparison with "The Prostate Andwer Book" and "Prostate, A Guide for Men and the Women who Love them", I found this book very disappointing. Much of the material seems quite out of date and there are several significant conflicting statements. I do not recommend it. Bob Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the BEST prostate book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making the Prostate Therapy Decision (Hardcover)
This is the best prostate book for patients who have recently been diagnosed with enlarged prostate or prostate cancer of any stage. The descriptions of treatment options and physiology coupled with cogent questions for your doctor and helpful advice provide a sure fire means of clearing up a very murky and scary situation very quickly. The manner of writing is easy to follow and a delight to read. This is the one book I would recommend for any prostate patient who has to limit himself to just one book. It is indispensable to making an informed decision for treatment
