This book is written by a prostate cancer warrior himself, who became a member of the “reluctant brotherhood” after a series of diagnostic tests in 2024-2025 leading up to his PC treatments in 2025 (radiation + hormone therapy). He had questions before and after treatments, that members of his PC support group answered satisfactorily. Other members have multiple memberships (up to 10 in one case) and they shared the information they gathered from the other groups’ meetings (online or in person) as well.
Vir’s professional background is industrial engineering, productivity and efficiency improvements. By sharing his PC experience, he hopes the newly diagnosed will find answers to many of their own questions, even answers to questions they may not have thought of, but can prove very helpful (good to know). The readers will save time; in a day of reading this book, they will get the same amount of information that the author took weeks and months (up to a year even) to gather from of years of questions and answers that he read, shared by “brothers” some of whom belonged to more than one PC support group.
The information in this book helped me. This can help you. Even by just knowing that you are not alone. There have been many others who have been there before, who have kindly shared their positive experience.
I have retired from industrial engineering work. Many IEs are still active in the health care industry, some of them affiliated our institute’s Society for Health Systems. While many IEs help the institutions improve their operational excellence to “Make the Patient Well,” none to my knowledge is directly involved in helping cancer patients better advocate for themselves and be effective partners, each in their own individual treatments. This book seeks to fill that gap.
