When cancer strikes generation after generation, is it fate or can you fight the odds?

This book is my story, but it is a family affair: My father died of prostate cancer, my son has been diagnosed with it and my sister died of ovarian cancer (ongoing research appears to show a link). Like many other books, this is about the journey into the unknown world of prostate cancer: the ups and downs of a killer disease; needing to understand whether it singles out men at random, or whether it is a gene that is inherited, or just develops naturally. Is it a game of chance or can you change the odds?

I hope this personal account can give you a window into the challenge of identifying prostate cancer before it happens or hope for those already on the journey. The book also contains personal accounts of three men, each of them very close friends of mine, who have had prostate cancer diagnoses. They describe their various treatments in the hope that it can help others understand their journey.
