"You can beat Prostate Cancer" SIX STAR ****** HIGHEST RATING What a "Quality of Life-Saver". Bob Marckini's book has been done very professionally, demonstrates incredible research and presents a realistic examination of all the Prostate Cancer treatments FROM THE PATIENT'S POINT OF VIEW. I spent countless hours doing research on treatments - this book would have saved me a great deal of time - but most important - it would have given me piece of mind in proceeding with my investigation and decision process in selecting Proton Therapy. Two of my "new acquaintances" diagnosed with PC were soon convinced for Proton after reading Bob's book. I wish this book would be available to every man diagnosed with prostate cancer.

"Beating Prostate Cancer - Dem Prostatakrebs entrinnen"
Lieber deutschsprachiger Leser, mein sehr geschaetzter, lieber Freund und Moderator der Patientenorganisation "Brotherhood of the Balloon - BOB" (www.protonbob.com) hat sich die unglaubliche Muehe gemacht und in dem vorliegenden Buch ALLES zusammengetragen, was ein Patient (und seine Partnerin - seine Familie) wissen muss, wenn er mit der Nachricht eines bestehenden Prostata-Karzinoms konfrontiert wird. Dies muß nicht zwangslaeufig das Ende sein, sondern kann zum Beginn eines neuen Lebens werden. Wie man das fuer sich realisiert, ist in diesem wunderbaren Buch nachzulesen. Es sollte in jedem Buecherschrank stehen! Das Buch ist sehr... More > preiswert zu haben und ein nennenswerter Betrag des Buchpreises fliesst ein zur weiteren Protonentherapie-Forschung in den James-Slater-Chair an der LLUMC (www.llu.edu/proton) und kommt somit allen zukuenftigen Patienten (nicht nur mit Prostata-Krebs) zugute. Dies allein ist ein guter Grund zum Kauf des Buches, z.B. auch als ein gutes Geschenk fuer Freunde und Bekannte, insbesondere auch Aerzte(!). Uebersetzungen in mehrere Sprachen sind bereits begonnen worden, worum auch ich mich bemuehen werde. Lieber Bob, vielen Dank fuer dieses grossartige, umfassende und objektive Buch, dass die Therapie-Entscheidung vieler Patienten zu ihrem Wohle beeinflussen wird! OMR Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. habil.

"YOU CAN BEAT PROSTATE CANCER" I have never read a book so intently in my life! It was like reliving 2004 all over again; from the devastating news of my husband's prostate cancer diagnosis and our journey through the struggles of determining the best treatment option; to the discovery of proton radiation therapy and our 2-month medical vacation! Loma Linda University Medical Center provided us (their "guests") the most professional and compassionate medical treatment. Bob Marckini has done a marvelous job in writing "his story", and arousing the awareness of proton therapy currently being used in the treatment of many types of cancer and other diseases. Thank you Bob, for sharing your personal research and information on this "platinum standard" medical treatment that our own physicians won't share. You have given a great gift to mankind...and the world. Kris Brock-Jones

I finally found Bob's book after reading a few accounts that suggested the 'gold standard', which was surgery, or conventional radiation. But we all knew of those who came out of surgery with potency and urination side effects. I was fearful and depressed. But my experience was like so many others, I nearly cried when I learned that the side effects from proton radiation were almost nil..... And it was all true, Bob told it like it was. I completed 39 proton radiation treatments at UFPTI at Jacksonville in late 2008. I feel now like I never had a cancer. It was incredible but true. Read this book.... it will lift your spirits and give you the confidence to get through this critical time of life. Charles Coryn (PSA Feb 2011 - 0.84)

If you want to hear more about why this is one of the BEST books that you can purchase to start learning about Cancer, then check out a radio interview I did with the author. Visit http://www.franktalks.com/radio and download for free the interview I did with Robert Marckini. On this show, we discuss prostate cancer, how to detect it, how to prevent it, what men are most at risk, what treatments exists, what to ask your doctor, what doctors will not tell you and why, is surgery a real option, what is proton beam therapy, what are the side effects of cancer treatment, cancer in 20 and 30 year old men, and more. If you or someone you care about is at risk for cancer, not just prostate cancer, but any cancer, PLEASE listen to this show, and then you will be convinced that buying this book is one of the best investments for your life that you can ever make. -Frank Kermit
