Book Description
When Harvey got the official diagnosis of prostate cancer he began scouring the Internet for information. What he found was an abundance of information on the disease and on treatment options. He then turned to friends who had recently been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. And even though these were old and close friends, he never really got a real sense of what he was about to go through. Men have a tendency of not being that open or conversational about these kinds of problems and their experiences. So he began keeping a diary, which eventually turned into this book. His hope is that it will help give some insight to the men that are about to look at mortality in the eye and help them through their personal experience of dealing with prostate cancer.

On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's
Author: Greg O'Brien
Publisher: Good Night books
ISBN: 0991340191
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This is a book about living with Alzheimer’s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor—a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the US—and the only one of these diseases on the rise. More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide. Greg O’Brien, an award-winning investigative reporter, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and is one of those faceless numbers. Acting on long-term memory and skill coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, O’Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. O’Brien is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching, and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generation—both a “how to” for fighting a disease, and a “how not” to give up!

Oh No, Not Me!
Author: Joseph W. Lintzenich
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595150713
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
In 1992, at the age of 55, Mr. Lintzenich was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This book is his personal story, told in laymen's terms, spanning over seven years. The step-by-step journey (looking at both the serious and humorous sides of this ordeal) candidly tells about the fears, confusion, and expectations as his life was impacted by prostate cancer. It begins with the shocking diagnosis and examines each step of the process as he learned of the treatment options, and struggled to choose the course of action right for him. The personal and medical information is a compilation of first-hand experience, advice from physicians, literature provided by the hospital, and personal research done after the diagnosis. The book is for those who worry about prostate cancer, for those who must decide on the choices of what to do after a positive diagnosis, for those who fear prostate cancer surgery, and for those who contemplate how their lives will be impacted. Above all it is a book that comforts and is filled with hope for both the patient and their families. Dr. William J. Catalona, renowned prostate cancer research pioneer and surgeon, commented that Joe's perspective offers "hope and encouragement" rather than emphasizing the bad side effects that can occur with prostate cancer surgery...a vivid and often touching detail of one man's encounter with prostate cancer...will be appreciated by patients and their families for its accurate information, its clarity, and the hope and encouragement that it gives.

Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
‘Wow… I laughed out loud, I cried, I stayed up well into the night reading just a little bit more. I just loved this book so much… I really really loved this book… An absolute joy to read.’ Goodreads Reviewer Sometimes it takes losing something to see where you truly belong. For the past twenty-nine years, Kay Bright’s days have had a familiar rhythm: she works in her husband’s stationery shop hoping to finally sell the legendary gold pen, cooks for her family, tries to remember to practise yoga, and every other month she writes to her best friend, Ursula. Kay could set her calendar by their letters: her heart lifts when the blue airmail envelope, addressed in Ursula’s slanting handwriting, falls gently onto the mat. But now Ursula has stopped writing and everything is a little bit worse. Ursula is the only one who knows Kay’s deepest secret, something that happened decades ago that could tear Kay’s life apart today. She has always been the person Kay relies on. Worried, Kay gets out her shoebox of Ursula’s letters and as she reads, her unease starts to grow. And then at ten o’clock in the morning, Kay walks out of her yellow front door with just a rucksack, leaving her wedding ring on the table... This emotional and heart-warming novel is for anyone who knows it’s never too late to look for happiness. Fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, A Man Called Ove and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will fall in love with this feel-good and moving story that shows you that the best friendships truly last forever. Readers are falling totally in love with The Missing Letters of Mrs Bright: ‘Absolutely beautiful! I finished it late last night – I knew I couldn’t stop once I started – with happy tears running down my face! Just beautiful and thought-provoking! A wonderful, heart-warming, life-affirming tale from this fantastic author. Everyone should be reading this… Outstanding. Five stars do not do this book justice… Thank you Beth Miller for this exquisite treasure of a book!’ Bestselling author Renita D’Silva ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A story that drew me in from the first pages. With tissues clutched in my hand and tears running down my face, I read this book in one sitting. A story that will stay with me.’ NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I was teary-eyed… A book to truly fall in love with! I couldn’t seem to read this book fast enough. I stayed up way, way too late to finish it. There were parts that actually had me laughing out loud. I haven’t read such a warm-your-heart type of book in a very very long time. I totally recommend it.’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A poignant read and an emotional one. Beautiful doesn’t do it justice. If you read just one book about life make it this one. 10 stars if I could.’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Such a touching, heartfelt book; tears a few times. Couldn’t put this one down and finished it in one day… Great, great book!’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Oh, what an absolute gem of a book… At several points I definitely had something in my eye, and towards the end, well… All I can say is that it takes a lot for a book to simultaneously make me laugh and need to clear a lump in my throat. This one did it in spades. Highly recommended.’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A very heart-warming, emotional read. Get your tissues ready as you might need them; I certainly did.’ Goodreads Reviewer ‘I stayed up way too late reading this book. My 2 a.m. novel.
