“Richard Bercuson has made a real contribution to awareness and men's health by tackling an important subject with wit and flair...This is not only an entertaining read, but also a cautionary tale: men at risk must be tested, but must also know that after successful treatment, life can go on as before.” - Allan Rock, former Canadian cabinet minister and U.N. Ambassador - and a prostate cancer survivor.
"Richard Bercuson opens the door to his innermost thoughts and feelings as he faces the challenge of his diagnosis and surgical treatment. He confronts them with trepidation, rationalization, humour and bravery. His descriptions of the emotions and events are accurate. This book will help many men better understand the disease and that itself moves us forward in preventing and fighting this major health problem. This is a very enjoyable, funny and honest account of the roller coaster that is one man’s battle with prostate cancer." Dr. Chris Morash, MD, Director of The Ottawa Hospital Prostate Cnacer Centre.
"...he passes on the wisdom acquired leavened with wit and understanding to ease the journey for those who are recently diagnosed with this cancer – or those have been through it and now can share in the funny side of the frightening experience..." Ted Johnston - prostate cancer survivor
"...Laughs and tears. Joy and pain. Fear and survival. In the end – pardon the pun – the reader is left with a unique perspective on prostate cancer." Andre Picard, Globe and Mail review
