We maintain a website dedicated to men and couples looking for additional information about the surgical option. We do not promote or bash this option. Our goal is to provide realistic information some of which you may not find in other places.
Here's our website link:

My wife and I wrote an award winning book that discusses the following issues and more:
* How to break the news to your friends and family.
* When a one-day hospital stay is not long enough.
* What are bladder spasms and how you get relief.
* How a simple mistake could cost you thousands of dollars.
* How erectile dysfunction will affect you and your relationships.
* What's penile rehabilitation, and why you need it.
* Why you may experience a severe post-surgical depression
* How the "expectation gap" will alienate you from friends & family.
* How surgery will affect your sex life.
* How faith makes a difference coping with prostate cancer.

I Left My Prostate In San Francisco-Where's Yours?
Here are some reader comments:
Richie:
I think this book is awesome! I'm going to let each of my family members read it so they can understand what it's like to go through this challenge. I think your book will be very helpful to others before they go for the surgery. I did like how you shared your issues that you had to deal with and how you handled them. I wish I had your book before surgery. I think I still would have gone for surgery but at least I would have been better informed than I was from my Doctor. So to sum it up, I think you did a great job. Your thoughts and questions after each chapter was a great idea too, as well as your wife's input.
Lauren:
Your stories set my gut healing back 2 weeks. I laughed so much. You made my day!
Maria:
This book aims to help men and their families deal with prostate cancer and it does just that. It is an amazingly candid book that should be read by men with prostate cancer. It is also a must read for their partners and other family members. After
reading the last page, I really feel that Rick and Brenda Redner are truly my friends who share with me their experience in coping with this disease.
The Book Connection:
This is truly a powerful book because it shares so many aspects of coping with prostate cancer, surgery, and post-surgery issues that might be embarrassing to discuss. It is a straight-shooting story, but it also encourages and inspires. Each chapter ends with a series of helpful questions, meant to be discussed with your spouse, your doctors, or others. In less than 300 pages, the Redner's provide a strong foundation for couples facing a prostate cancer diagnosis.
Garry:
I completed Rick and Brenda's book prior to my own surgery this past Monday. It prepared me well, and when I came home I had all the essentials and a plan.
Jeffrey:
I wish this had been available to me when I received my diagnosis and began treatments in 2009! Many of the subjects they write about were never discussed with us by my doctors - and should have been! And, much of the advice they offer regarding their experiences I've not seen or read about in any other source.
Robert:
I found that no detail was omitted in any of the 42 chapters of this book. It has now become my number one source of information relating to the effects and recovery from Prostate Cancer. Well done.
Wife whose husband has PC:
Your book gave me insight into what my husband was thinking and feeling which helped me to know how to help him.
God Bless,
