This book is an action plan for men who want a quality of life that makes prostate surgery worthwhile. Men who are prepared to work at their own recovery to regain continence, sexual activity and lifestyle. 'This book is a 'must read' for any man facing treatment for this condition.' Dr. Michael Gillman, Men's Health MD The diagnosis of prostate cancer can be the start of an unwelcome journey filled with medical waiting rooms, doctors, indignities, doubts, scores, fears and decisions. Most of them unfamiliar and outside our usual expertise. For men who choose surgical treatment, the relief from the cancer threat is welcome. The trade off however, is life altering. This 5 Stage recovery plan for men undergoing prostate surgery combines research and Craig's clinical experience working with men to regain continence pre- and post-surgery. Craig's MAP provides a clear, effective and workable program including links to his online explanations & demonstrations. Once you have the MAP, all you have to do is follow it.
