In the autumn of 1994, Michaeal Korda was diagnosed as having prostate cancer. For several years he had been examined, tested and given medication, always with the assurance that everything was alright - until it wasn't. But the discovery of the actual cancer was only the beginning of his ordeal. This autobiography relates not only what he and his wife, Margaret, went through, but, more importantly, what they learned in the process. With frankness, Korda writes of overcoming incontinence and impotence, the truth about the various treatments, how tumours are graded and the reality of the "numbers". Switching between Korda's personal experiences - including the operation itself - and stories about doctors, patients and recovery groups, this book is informative, and above all, hopeful.
