MEDIA ALERT
Prostate Cancer (Sex) Diary E-Book Published in Canada
A Chronicle of the Not-So-Hard Facts About this
Prevalent Disease
Toronto, ON. It is the side effect of prostate
cancer that the medical profession doesn’t like to talk about, especially in
Movember – severe or total erectile dysfunction. Oh yes, and encountering adult diapers and catheters way on
the young side of ninety.
The Canadian Writers Group has just published journalist,
author and prostate cancer survivor Don Truckey’s new e-book My Prostate
Cancer (Sex) Diary: The Story of a Young Survivor Who Didn’t Go Limp. Available now on Kindle and Kobo, Truckey’s e-book
is an extremely frank personal account about prostate cancer treatment. It has
been written for people who want to hear the straight goods, not necessarily
from a doctor, about what it means to be diagnosed with this often-treatable
disease – there will be 23,600 men in this country who get the news this year
alone.
Don Truckey is an award-winning screenwriter whose work
includes the television series Street Legal
and Urban Angel. He has written two movies
with hockey as their theme: the Gemini award-winning Net
Worth and Chicks with Sticks,
as well as Crazy Canucks about Canada’s Olympic Ski team. His first book in the
Caraway Kim Series, The Adventures of Caraway Kim . .
. Southpaw was published in 2005 and was shortlisted for the 2007
Rocky Mountain Book Award.
Truckey, who lives in Toronto, went from writing screenplays
to chronicling sex and prostate cancer after being diagnosed with the disease
at fifty-four. His personal diary
is witty, easy to read and takes on every prostate cancer taboo. Truckey has
recorded a short video in which he talks about the new e-book http://youtu.be/KhH-WeBe_00.
