When cancer hits home and the diagnosis is prostate cancer, expert guidance is crucial.

The disease varies widely in its aggressiveness, making decisions about possible treatments and side effects very challenging. Considering options can be overwhelming, since choices may include: watchful waiting, radiation seeds, surgery, external radiation, hormones, combinations of these, as well as many promising new treatments. While there are many effective anti-cancer therapies, as author Dr. Patrick Maguire states, “An empowered patient is the best weapon against prostate cancer!”

This potentially lifesaving guide provides men and their loved ones with the critical information they need, in a format that’s easy to understand. Maguire uses patient stories to describe the spectrum of prostate cancer. Readers will learn:

• How to avoid the TOP 5 MISTAKES men make after a prostate cancer diagnosis
• Why you must know your “risk group”
• Which men should consider no treatment at all
• The real deal about prostate seeds and robotic prostatectomy
• Which new technologies and medicines are improving men’s lives
• The different side effects of these treatments based on real data
• The 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS to ask your cancer doctor(s)

Empowered Against Breast Cancer

$3.99 per copy

The good news about breast cancer is that most patients who are diagnosed are actually cured! Even those women (& some men) who are found to have incurable disease may live for many years with a good quality of life, as long as they receive the right treatment. That’s why it’s so critical to make wise decisions about therapy.

Because misinformation about breast cancer treatment is rampant on the internet and elsewhere, Dr. Patrick Maguire, author and breast cancer expert, has written “Empowered Against Breast Cancer.” As he explains, “While there are many potential effective anti-cancer treatments, the best weapon against breast cancer is an empowered patient!”

This potentially lifesaving guide provides patients and their loved ones with the critical information they need, in a format that’s easy to understand. Maguire uses seven unique patient stories to describe the spectrum of breast cancer. These include patients with DCIS, early stage invasive, advanced and metastatic (incurable) breast cancers, as well as a man and a very young woman with aggressive disease. Readers will learn:

• How to avoid the TOP 5 MISTAKES patients make after a breast cancer diagnosis
• Which patients are usually able to keep their breast and who needs a mastectomy
• The differences between chemotherapy and the many other systemic treatments
• Who needs radiation therapy and why
• Which new technologies and medicines are dramatically improving patient’s lives
• What breast cancer survivors need to know
• The 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS to ask your cancer doctor(s)
