In Hit Below the Belt: Facing Up to Prostate Cancer (Celestial Arts, 20001), doctor-turned-patient Ralph Berberich speaks out about prostate cancer's assault on his mind, body, and sexuality. Boldly sharing the personal and sometimes graphic details of his own experience, Berberich offers men (and those who care for them) the insight, medical guidance, comfort, and companionship that they all too often go without. An ordinary patient with an extraordinary background, Berberich eloquently captures both the medical side of the disease and the emotional fragility of facing a life-threatening illness. With candid descriptions of the everyday to the harrowing (from an itchy nose during the MRI to the humiliation of incontinence), Berberich offers his hand in fellowship to all men with prostate cancer.

F. Ralph Berberich, M.D., has practiced general pediatrics in Berkeley, California, for 20 years. He is on staff at the Children's Hospital Oakland and Alta Bates Medical Center.

Available at bookstores everywhere. Call 1-800-841-BOOK to order directly from Ten Speed Press/Celestial Arts.
