Prostate and Cancer - the Book: I've Been Where You Are Going Nathan Pera

There will be nearly 200,000 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed this year in the United States. This is a cancer that can be overcome if men make the effort to have a yearly physical and their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood tested by their primary health care provider. In his book, Nathan relates how unexpectedly he was confronted with the possibility and eventual reality of prostate cancer through a sudden PSA elevation in what appeared to be a routine yearly checkup. He takes you with him through his psychological and spiritual experiences leading to the diagnosis, decision-making and ultimate treatment choice. He then allows you into the very core of his recovery beginning from day one following surgery. This is a book for men and couples whom would like to hear from a layperson what it is like to face prostate cancer head on. A no-holds-barred revelation, it will give comfort and encouragement to those who face this challenge as Nathan graphically relates "Things they may forget to tell you." The book offers first hand commentary on the anxieties, expectations and realities from someone who has already been where you may be going. Finally, Nathan relates his relentless and lengthy effort to regain his sexual potency as he searches for the elusive erection.
