This is the story of the author's prostate cancer and how he reacted to his diagnosis and coped with treatment (a robotic prostatectomy). This book includes a systematic search of what patients can do to improve the outcomes of treatment. The book is also aimed at the male relatives of patients with prostate cancer: brothers and sons are at increased risk but, again, there is a lot they can do to reduce the risk and improve the outcomes. The key message is: we can all help ourselves, but we need a proactive determined approach. We need to be active patients.
