Experiences with prostate cancer, shared in stories and poetry

Edited by Les Zigomanis, *Below the Belt: Experiences with Prostate Cancer* brings together stories and poetry from people who have shared their experiences of the disease. The collection pairs educational information with personal accounts, centering the roles of support and speaking openly during a difficult journey. Its subject is both medical and communal: prostate cancer, and the value the book places on connection rather than facing the experience in silence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking personal accounts alongside educational material about prostate cancer.
  • Readers interested in stories and poetry about illness, support, and sharing lived experience.

Book overview

Prostate cancer.

Statistics abound to its prevalence amongst men as they grow older, to how in Australia it's the leading cancer-killer of men (second, in the US), or how it kills more men than breast cancer kills women. They are figures that should be - and are - concerning.

But equally concerning is the stoicism of men, attitudes of ignorance and solitude that can only make the battle so much harder. It's not a journey that need be undertaken alone, or in silence.

Below the Belt: Experiences with Prostate Cancer is filled with stories and poetry from those who have been courageous enough to share their experiences - a library of information that is educational, but also shows the importance of seeking support, of opening up to reveal that it's not a fight that need be undertaken alone.

And that strength and resilience can come through sharing.
