How is life a full decade after proton therapy for prostate cancer? Author Ron Nelson, a ten-year survivor, offers insight and comfort in his second book. In his easy-to-read conversational style, Ron holds back nothing in answering the questions he is most often asked: Are you completely cured? Do you have side effects? Do you fear a recurrence? With 20-20 hindsight, what lessons were learned? If you could go back in time, would you choose the same treatment? How should a newbie decide what to do? What are the risks? What are the common mistakes newbies make? In great detail, Ron answers all of these questions, defines "The Newbie Trap, and provides a 9-step "Newbie-Do" list to guide you to the finish line.To quote Ron from the first chapter, " ? this book is about me, but it's not a report on every aspect of my past decade of life. ? I promise to focus here on my health and the insights I've had about how we men think and feel once we've been diagnosed with prostate cancer, survive it, and move forward in life. We do change. All cancer survivors do. I've certainly changed. And life after a prostate cancer diagnosis is never the same as before. Not physically, nor mentally."Most of Ron's book is intended to help prostate cancer newbies understand and address the unique challenges they face. Additional material includes a special section for his fellow proton ambassadors, his ten-year PSA chart, and the surprising inside stories of how and why he wrote this book and his previous one. Finally, you can enjoy the included reprints of five articles Ron wrote for The After Proton Blog, selected as his favorites.Staying in touch with his proton brothers has been an important part of Ron Nelson's post-proton journey, and his desire to nurture these unique connections continues. At the end of the book you will find his email address and a sincere invitation to contact him to discuss what he understands is a very personal matter.
