Nine courageous men with advanced prostate cancer share their experiences and 'put themselves out there', to reveal their vulnerabilities and to talk of matters which are normally unspoken. Their lives were played out in very different ways but they all had one ambition - to climb above their illness. This small book will be useful to men with prostate cancer, their partners and families, and also healthcare practitioners.
