The P Word: A User's Guide to Prostate Problems Paperback - 2011

From the publisher

The P Word isn't an important book in the sense that it'll put an end to world hunger. It is, quite simply, an awareness book that deals with a subject that, in spite of the fact that it will lead to the untimely death of four American men within the next sixty minutes, remains cloaked in mystery for the most part. Still, it is a subject with which every man should take the time to acquaint himself. And so, in an effort to make more men aware of the possible pitfalls of possessing their very own prostate, a long term survivor has taken pen in hand-along with a generous dose of tongue in cheek-to paint a picture from a patient's point of view of the many problems, or the lack thereof, that may arise as a direct result of nothing more than having been born into the male of the species. Sick and tired of being sick and tired? The P word reveals how you can go from surviving to thriving. Sherman Goodrich is a cartoonist and humor writer, having appeared as such on CBS TV, Nickelodeon, and an untold number of downtown street corners. Credentials for this writing, however, were derived from his personal battle with Prostate Cancer. In spite of his ongoing battle with cancer, he competed in and won the international fitness title of 2009 Body-for-LIFE Challenge Champion in the 46 and over class...doing so at the tender age of seventy.
