Product Description
Finally, a much-needed voice for the spouses and partners of prostate cancer survivors–an unflinchingly honest and beautifully written memoir about one couple’s struggles and transformation that serves as a guide for others dealing with the disease.
Facts:
* Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, other than skin cancers, in American men.
* 90% of the 190,000 men diagnosed annually will be cured.
* 2 million men currently live as survivors.
Though many sources exist for men dealing with this dreaded disease, their partners are often left on their own to figure out how to deal with personality changes and sudden “male menopause,” how to redefine love and intimacy, and how to deal with side effects of the treatment.
Victoria Hallerman, an accomplished poet, writes candidly about her and her husband’s experience over the last five years, including sections in his voice as well. A manual for surviving what treatments can do to a marriage, her book is both a compelling narrative and a supportive and informational guidebook. It’s sure to be a boon to the enormous and ever-growing group of wives and partners of prostate cancer survivors who, like the author, need to be able to answer the question “Who are we now?”
