E-book Title: Dealing with Prostate Cancer
Author: Norman Falconer
Book Description: "You have prostate cancer and here
is the prognosis...." There aren't many men who can hear those dreaded words and not feel frightened and panic stricken. And, with good reason. US estimates for 2008 call for 186,000+ new cases and almost 29,000 deaths. Many people assume that prostate cancer only attacks the elderly and figure they'll just wait and hope for the best. Bad decision. While the majority of cases do occur in men over 70, it has been known to attack men as young as 50. The disease also crosses ethnic lines and is the second most common malignant cancer in men. African American men are at a higher risk than white men including Hispanic men. According to the National Cancel Institute, "Dramatic differences in the incidence of prostate cancer are also seen in different populations around the world." This is telling because there may be dietary or other environmental factors involved.

About The Author
Norman FalconerNorman Falconer only realized the level of risk that men of his age faced from prostate and other cancers when a close friend was diagnosed with the disease. The effect on his friend and, especially, the trauma and other problems that it brought to his family, gave Norman the incentive to learn as much as he could about the disease and the current methods of detection and treatment. Norman feels it's very important that every man knows about the benefits of being tested for this deadly affliction. He discovered that there was a lot of mis-information being spread about prostate cancer. Norman hopes that his book will help get the right information to as many men and those close to them as possible, and perhaps even save a few lives.
