Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery
Product Description
The niche bestseller “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes Dr. Gary Onik, M.D., Cryosurgeon and Director of Surgical Imaging at Celebration Health Hospital, Celebration, Florida, who says: “I expect that within five years we will see the death of the radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer.” The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has seen five uncles suffer from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery: impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes oncologist Dr. Robert Leibowitz of Compassionate Oncology Medical Group, who says: “If radical prostatectomies worked, the data would be there. The reason the data is not there is because radical prostatectomies don’t work.” Dr. Leibowitz adds: “No prospective randomized trial has ever found radical prostatectomy to be both necessary and effective.” Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the “Journal of Urology” lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery,” Dr. Pitts said: “Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I’ve abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option.” Dr. Hennenfent co-founded the Prostatitis Foundation (www.prostatitis.org). He also founded the Epididymitis Foundation (www.epididymitisfoundation.org), and the Acoustic Neuroma Foundation (www.acousticneuromafoundation.org). He previously published “The Prostatitis Syndromes.” “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes urologist Ronald Wheeler, M.D. of the Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer Center, who says: “In my opinion, prostatitis resolution holds the key to the future of prostate cancer resolution.” “Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that 95% or more of all prostate cancer surgery done to date, has failed to extend the life of the patient,” says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book’s author. “Surgery should no longer be presented or advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer,” says Dr. Hennenfent. “My book is all about the options to harmful surgery. “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery,” details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade. The website for the book is: www.SurvivingProstateCancerWithoutSurgery.org.

Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery
This author is on a campaign, a misinformed and poorly written campaign, against prostate surgery which, for many men, is by far the best choice. Do not buy this book under any circumstances. Even if you are tying to avoid surgery, you can get better information almost anywhere on the internet than is presented in this book.

This book presents the kind of information you might never otherwise learn and that some actually seek to suppress (note the couple of negative reviews unabashedly trying to steer you away from reading this book, with weak ad hominem attacks). I bought numerous copies of this book and gave them as gifts to friends and family coping with prostate cancer. Dr. Hennefent truly cares about the situation because he had so many loved ones (uncles) suffer from poor treatment decisions for prostate cancer and doesn’t want to see others suffer. The information presented is well supported with references to reputable information sources. Prostate cancer victims need to educate themselves and not rely on biased doctors, or any other single source of information, to give them the full picture. This book will help round out whatever other information you may have received and presents much information that is quite surprising.

I bought this book for my father-in-law who was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He said it was the best book he had ever read. He finished it in two days. He said it helped him solidify his decision not to have surgery.

Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery
This should be required reading for every man over 40, much less 50! I learned enough to ask the right questions of the right people after having a cancer diagnosis. My only wish is that I had read it before the doctor said those fatefull words. 5 stars to the author for providing concise, understandabale information concerning the prostate and it’s various diseases and the cures.
