Meet Mark and Janet and their menagerie: Two young kids and a baby on the way, horses, dogs and a llama, escape-prone sheep, offbeat neighbors, and various construction workers laboring to renovate their ramshackle farmhouse.

This revised guide covers every aspect of prostate cancer: everything from potential causes, diets, and diagnostic tests to curative treatment and innovative means of controlling advanced stages of cancer.

In this book, Dr. Walsh et. al. will address such issues as: The genes involved in prostate cancer, genetic tests, and who should get them. The powerful effect of lifestyle changes to reduce pro-inflammatory and pro-insulin resistance environments, such as alcohol intake, physical activity, and BMI. What high-risk men (particularly African American men) need to know, and when to start screening. Information and support for the LGBT community, transgender individuals, and people with prostates. New information on testing and imaging. Your post-treatment life; how to stay healthy after treatment and manage the side effects of medication, and also how to support caregivers.
