Are you conning yourself into believing you don't need professional help, as your prostate gland continues to enlarge?

Seeds of Hope, written by Michael Dorso, M.D. At fifty-four years of age, Dr. Dorso discovers he has prostate cancer. Suddenly Michael Dorso, M.D. becomes Michael Dorso, PATIENT! Seeds of Hope is the story of this physician's personal transformation as he searches for the most promising cure for his cancer. It is also the story of one man's struggle to find meaning in a potentially life-threatening illness. Writing to educate and encourage men combating this disease, Dr. Dorso skillfully describes the hurdles of biopsy, testing, diagnosis, treatment options, sexual impotence. He carefully diagrams the workings of such technological marvels as Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Bone Scans, which can do so much to detect illness, target treatment and preserve quality of life. In non-technical terms, he outlines a man's options for defeating the beast in his loins. Our author describes the choices he made, and tells why. He guides readers through the dragon's belly of physical threats, medical odds, emotional costs and spiritual rewards

At the heart of all this are changes in testosterone levels. Most men are unaware they will have a long but significant coast downhill to their own andropause, or male menopause.

The controversial but all-inclusive bioethics handbook on cloning, stem cells, organ theft, pharmaceutical fascism, etc. Incredible and valuable.
