Product Description
The Silent Male Cancer was constructed out of a personal experience K. S. Dunlap had with a family member who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His period of denial and an initial misdiagnosis almost cost him his life.

With diligence and divine guidance they pursued more information than that supplied by the physicians. In a quest to be proactive toward a more accurate diagnosis, she found limited resources relating to the emotional and spiritual aspects of cancer. This lack of information increased her resolve to provide a tool that would support others through a more appropriate diagnosis and guide them in understanding the possibility of denial.

It is her belief that there is a necessity for knowledge that combines both God and ones need for spirituality in the midst of receiving a proper diagnosis, treatment, and healing. This compilation of material will afford you the knowledge you need as you move toward a cure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Read - Knowledge in Laymen Terms, June 21, 2003

By	James Davis (Texas) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book first because a friend wrote it and second because I am currently dealing with prostate cancer. The information contained within is proving invaluable by taking the everyday medical jargon and disseminating it into laymen terms. Further, it gave me the spiritual enlightment needed when dealing with this life debilitating event. Thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done---Just Makes You Feel Good, July 11, 2003

By A Customer

The information that I acquired from the authors words were not only helpful in understanding the type of monster that I was dealing with, but it also let me know that I wasn't in it alone. It's comforting to know that people like myself have been where I'm at and were able to move forward. Bottom line, it answers questions and helps ease the pain. This is an overall winner.
