Does the world need a funny, sexy prostate cancer memoir? Well, it's getting one, with Prostate Cancer, The Musical! You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll roll your eyes, as you travel the road taken by one out of every eight men in the USA. Prostate Cancer, The Musical! is 35,000 words of wise-cracking prostate cancer fun, set to an imaginary soundtrack of popular song references. It covers harrowing medical experiences, such as PET scans, biopsies, and a running battle with an evil catheter. You'll meet "The Finger," "The Hot Physician's Assistant," and "Serena, Slayer Of Drain Hoses."
Author Eric Wilson brings decades of show biz experience and rock and roll sensibility to this normally somber topic, dousing it with plenty of sarcasm and hijinks. Dedicated to cancer patients, their friends and relatives, and casual observers who might want to take a peek into this mysterious world, he answers burning questions, such as, "How much burning do you get with radiation treatment?" He prepares you for embarrassing men's room conversations about taking a certain type of pill. And he encourages the reader to "live to be 100, even if you only live to be 50."
Ultimately uplifting and inspirational, Prostate Cancer, The Musical! is a must-read for anyone curious about the prostate cancer experience.
