"[Dr. Melman] operates from the position that men should want to know if they have cancer, and then should want to become cancer-free in short order. A variety of treatment options will achieve this end; Dr. Melman and his co-author, Rosemary Newnham, a medical writer, deliver a detailed, straightforward and methodical description of them all. Illustrations help with the anatomy, and ample attention is paid to the severe side effects all these treatments can have... this book may well supply the cancer patient with what he has difficulty finding elsewhere." -- Abigail Zuger, MD,TheNew York Times "For most men who get prostate cancer, the immediate battle takes up all of their time and energy. Many don't know what questions to ask about what life might be like should they survive. Arnold Melman, one of the nation's leading urologists, is on a mission to change that. His bookAFTERPROSTATE CANCER: A What-Comes-Next Guide to a Safe and Informed Recovery is aimed at the men who survive, along with the friends and family who are there to support them." --The Sacramento Bee, "[Dr. Melman] operates from the position that men should want to know if they have cancer, and then should want to become cancer-free in short order.

Synopsis
Many books explain the different types of prostate cancer treatments, but most end once a treatment choice has been made, offering readers little in the way of guidance through the challenges of the post-treatment period. After Prostate Cancer picks up where those books leave off. Dr. Arnold Melman, Chair of the Department of Urology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offers a thorough description of what the prostate cancer recovery process is like and what readers can do to optimize recovery and attain the best possible health and long-term prognosis., Men who have completed prostate cancer treatment often find themselves facing new challenges and setbacks that do not necessarily recede along with the cancer. Many books endeavor to explain the different types of prostate cancer treatments, but most conclude once a treatment choice has been made, offering readers little in the way of guidance through the challenges of the post-treatment period. After Prostate Cancer: A What-Comes-Next Guide to a Safe and Informed Recovery picks up where those books leave off. Dr. Arnold Melman, Chair of the Department of Urology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offers a thorough description of what the prostate cancer recovery process is like and what readers can do to move themselves through recovery to the best possible health and long-term prognosis. Giving detailed explanations of what to expect and why based on diagnosis, treatment methodology, and other variables that make each man's post-treatment experience different, Dr. Melman offers strategies for mindfully and healthfully approaching post therapy issues, including confronting PSA measurement, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and psychological issues that are a common result of living through prostate cancer and treatment. Sharing the experiences of other prostate cancer patients in addition to accessible explanations of the available medical literature, Dr. Melman helps readers and their partners to get the best information, make the most informed decisions, feel comfortable with those decisions, and work through issues as they arise. Treatment is only the beginning of getting back to a healthy life after a diagnosis. After Prostate Cancer offers the best information to help readers with everything that comes next.
