The hardest thing for a man with cancer is losing control over your life. You get tangled up in a web of specialist appointments, medical tests and treatment decisions. And you don't want people around you to worry, or look like you can't handle it, or worse, feel sorry for you.

You stop trusting your body. It only takes a pain or ache and you think - is it cancer? Is it growing, has it spread? These worries they get to you because now you can't make plans and your entire future is shrouded in uncertainty.

But you can put a stop to cancer having a stranglehold over your life! In this book, Joe Bakhmoutski, using personal experience of overcoming cancer, shows how to build confidence around treatment so you know what to expect every step of the way, how to get the support you want from people in your life without coming off needy or weird, and how to divert the inevitable worry so you can have the life you deserve despite cancer.

In this book, you will learn how to:

- How to sideline worry during cancer

- How to make treatment decisions based on what is right for you and your life

- How to prepare yourself for treatment so you know what to expect, every step of the way

- Setting up the right structure around you during treatment to prepare for recovery

- How to get the support you want from people in your life, without drama or pity from others

- Dealing with uncertainty to have the best live you deserve despite cancer

Simplify Cancer sets you up to get through chemotherapy and other cancer treatment in the best way possible and having the best life you can despite cancer.

This is the manual that every man needs to take charge of their life during cancer.

"Joe's Simplify Cancer podcast is an asset for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis. With this book, he's used his expertise to assemble a valuable guide for dealing with something that many have overlooked in the past--the psychological impact of cancer. Dr. David Palma, MD, PhD, author of Taking Charge of Cancer Hearing the three words ""you have cancer"" is devastating. Receiving this news is overwhelming. Joe has helped to make the experience a little less stressful by creating simple, easy to understand tools to help those aff ected by this disease navigate the complexities of Dr. Visits, treatments and so much more. Lee Silverstein, We Have Cancer Podcast Host and Stage IV Survivor Joe has used his personal experience to craft a simple, practical and meaningful strategy to help others in facing their cancer diagnosis and in taking back some control of their journey. Men facing a new diagnosis are sure to fnd Simply Cancer a great resource. Mike Craycraft R.Ph., Survivor/Founder, Testicular Cancer Society Dealing with cancer is tough and can leave people feeling scared and isolated. Joe's been through the wringer and has distilled what he's learnt from his cancer experience into this easily understandable and relatable book, Simplify Cancer. He off ers personal and practical advice on everything from making an informed treatment decision, to getting support, and managing worries about the future.
