Book description
Discover the facts about--and personal stories of--gay men diagnosed with prostate cancerAccording to the American Cancer Society, one man in six will develop prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in men. A Gay Mans Guide to Prostate Cancer explores the medical facts and psychological aspects of being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer as well as the personal experiences of gay men from various walks of life. This insightful examination from the perspective of being gay in a predominantly heterosexual medical world emphasizes the unique concerns gay men have when confronted with this life-altering disease. Many of the contributors are or have been involved with Malecare, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that provides prostate cancer support for gay men and their families. For more information, visit Malecare, Inc.: prostate cancer support for gay men and their families. (http: //www.Malecare.com/). The status quo of the medical world is heterosexually assumptive. A Gay Mans Guide to Prostate Cancer shifts the perspective to gay mens needs, challenges, and experiences when faced with this critical health risk. The book is divided into a professional section that covers the medical and psychological aspects affecting gay men, and an experiential section in which gay men of varying ages, ethnicities, races, and HIV status describe their own very personal feelings and experiences regarding their diagnosis, treatment, and side-effects.
