“This is one reference that prostate cancer patients and their loved ones should keep handy. You will refer to it time and again from the initial diagnosis, to understanding your treatment options, to living as a cancer survivor.” ~ Dr. Lee McNeely, MD, Medical Director, Anova Cancer Care, Lone Tree, Colorado

About the Authors

Mark B. Saunders is a writer, editor, publisher, public speaker, and 11-year cancer survivor. As an active surveillance prostate cancer patient, Mark did not receive traditional treatment like surgery or some form of radiation. Instead, he dramatically overhauled his lifestyle and his cancer went away and hasn’t come back since.

As a prostate cancer survivor, Mark has dedicated his life to sharing what he has learned about health and wellness. A journey that he calls, Inside out, round-about, and back again.
