Presents evidence-based guidance to help partners support their men from diagnosis through survivorship.
Prostate Cancer and the Man You Love is fully updated for the women and men who love and support a man with prostate cancer. Written by an expert in supporting men with prostate cancer and their partners, this book describes the experiences of 12 couples dealing with prostate cancer, from diagnosis through survivorship. Covering the basics of prostate cancer, its treatments and supportive care, and advice about communication between the patient and his partner, the book offers stories of real couples in every chapter. Katz offers evidence-based guidance for the partner, who is challenged in different ways to support the man as he moves from diagnosis to treatment decision making and beyond. She carefully describes the treatment options along with the side effects that affect quality of life and couple satisfaction. Additional topics include cancer recurrence and end of life care. The book ends with a chapter on selfcare and the need to put on your own oxygen mask before you support your partner.
The first edition of the book received the Consumer Book Award from the prestigious Society for Sex Therapy & Research in 2015. The second edition is completely new and updated.
