While your experience of prostate cancer is uniquely your own, Facing the Tiger reveals the wisdom of others who have already walked the path. Extract:Prostate cancer is now the most prevalent male cancer in the world, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer. In fact, if you take into account all cancers for both men and women it is the third most prevalent cancer. In the US alone in 2020 it is estimated that over 191,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. The aim of this book is to provide a map to help you see a way through this difficulty and find a path that helps you to regain a sense of ease about the situation in which you have found yourself, and the way the world looks to you now. This is not a guide book about treatment options and will not give any medical advice. Your doctor who knows your medical circumstances is always your first port of call. This book is about suggesting different perspectives on where you are now, where you would like to be as you move forward in your cancer journey, and proven strategies that might help you get there. You may even find these techniques helpful in other aspects of your life and should feel free to apply them if you think they seem to be relevant.
