This book answered questions I had after the fact
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I had an excellent Urologist. He prepared me well for the surgery and afterwards, but as I was in the middle of recovery a number of other questions arose. Rather than call the office every day with the next question, I ordered this book and read it. I had a lot of time during recovery to think about a number of things. This form of cancer is easy to live through if you approach it the right way. The one area I did not anticipate was post operative depression. This book got me through that - thanks!
