Summary: 5 Stars
This one is easy...if you or someone you care about has prostate cancer, you need this book. Well written and researched, Dr. Walsh lays out all of the information you need to make informed decisions at every stage of the process. A friend loaned me his 1st edition when I was diagnosed, I subsequently bought a copy for myself, I have since bought multiple copies of the 2nd edition so I can give to friends or aquaintances who may be diagnosed. Lots of new information is in the 2nd edition.

Now in a revised second edition, this lifesaving guide by Dr. Patrick Walsh and ard-winning science writer Janet Farrar Worthington offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness.
