Publisher's Synopsis
This book is presented as non-fiction and serves as a guide to research options for treatment of prostate cancer and other localized cancers, including pediatric cancers. It also serves as a guide for those who travel to South Korea for treatment. Finally, it serves as a guide for understanding the many challenges facing cancer patients and their families. In order to present a composite story based on the experiences of several real patients who have been treated for prostate and other localized cancers, the storyline uses both fictional and real characters. This is the account of a man who discovers he has prostate cancer, investigates his choices for treatment, chooses proton beam therapy (PBT), and goes to Seoul, South Korea to be treated at the National Cancer Center. Side stories deal with men who did not actively seek treatment in time, along with the happy story of proton beam therapy being used to treat pediatric cancer.
