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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter Prostate Cancer: A What-Comes-Next Guide to a Safe and Informed Recovery\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003eMelman 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. \u003cem\u003eAfter Prostate Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e offers the best information to help readers with everything that comes next. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eAfter Prostate Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e offers readers order who are often faced with chaos.
