Thanks to a blood test called prostate specific antigen, or PSA, the quest to discover prostate cancer early is made easier. As a result of early detection, over eighty percent of patients with prostate cancer can be cured. Researchers now believe that prostate cancer cells grow in part due to a failure of the body's immune system to recognize and react to these cells. However, there are new ways to help the immune system recognize prostate cancer cells, and hopefully destroy them.

This book is written by the mother and daughter survivors of our 17 year battle with prostate cancer. Our soul-mate fought so valiantly and underwent many radical procedures, salvages of salvages to be exact. He had so many procedures done to him over the years that medics at the time thought he had gone further than any man in the UK. Although the journey can be a roller coaster ride it is frequently the most out and out frightening one for those concerned. This book illustrates one particular journey, our journey, with the choices, therefore the roads trodden, as a result of these choices. It is not meant to imply that we trod the correct paths or indeed made the right choices. However the journey can be lonely for those involved and the hope is that an insight into our many battles will encourage others to fight for that one life that they have and enjoy it. It really is worth it. We enhanced our journey wherever possible and we hope that you might be able to see how you could enhance yours.

Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.
