Some are written by doctors, some by patients, and some by doctors who are patients. This particular book is written by a retired NASA space shuttle engineer who brought his excellent writing skills and systems analysis skills to researching the options in treating his own prostate cancer diagnosis. Let me say that the information on prostate cancer treatment is vast, confusing, complicated, and contradictory. There is no One Answer as to what do with your particular disease. What Mr. Jones does in this book is to explain how he navigated all this data, and how he came to the conclusion that the best option for him was proton beam radiation therapy. He then goes on to describe what it is like to undergo that treatment at Loma Linda University, the Mecca of proton beam cancer treatment. Mr. Jones' book, along with Robert Marckini's "You Can Beat Prostate Cancer - And You Don't Need Surgery to Do It" will open the eyes of a new prostate cancer patient to a glorious new alternative that your urologist is unlikely to tell you about. This is the best $15 you can spend on this subject. Rating: 5 / 5 Having recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, I went into the reading mode, buying 10 books from Amazon.
