Dr. Patrick Maguire, The Cancer MD, Makes Prostate Cancer And Breast Cancer Guides Available For .99 In Honor Of National Prostate Cancer Month And National Breast Cancer Month

WILMINGTON, NC, September 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) In the minds of many people, a diagnosis of prostate cancer or breast cancer equals a death sentence. But these widely held beliefs are fallacies, as Dr. Patrick Maguire demonstrates in his recently published guides, 'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer' and 'Empowered Against Breast Cancer'.

"People are hearing conflicting information about testing and various treatment options for prostate and breast cancer," stated Dr. Patrick Maguire. "There are lots of weapons against these types of cancers, but an informed patient is the greatest of them all."

Dr. Maguire has been caring for people with cancer for over 15 years in North Carolina. In 'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer: Treatment Guide With Patient Stories', Dr. Maguire uses patient stories to describe the full spectrum of prostate cancer. Readers will learn:

* How to avoid the TOP 5 MISTAKES men make after a prostate cancer diagnosis
* Why you must know your "risk group"
* Which men should consider no treatment at all
* The real deal about prostate seeds and robotic prostatectomy
* Which new technologies and medicines are improving men's lives
* The different side effects of these treatments based on real data
* The 10 CRITICAL QUESTIONS to ask your cancer doctor(s)

'Empowered Against Prostate Cancer' was reviewed by national prostate cancer experts from Johns Hopkins and Emory University Hospitals.

In 'Empowered Against Breast Cancer: Treatment Guide With Patient Stories', Dr. Maguire uses seven unique patient stories to describe the spectrum of breast cancer. These include patients with DCIS, early stage invasive, advanced and metastatic (incurable) breast cancers, as well as a man and a very young woman with aggressive disease. In this book, readers will learn:
