Dr. Patrick Walsh’s Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer
Patrick C. Walsh (Author), Janet Farrar Worthington (Author)
Each year, more than 160,000 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. The good news is that more men are being cured of this disease than ever before.
Now in a revised fourth edition, this bestselling and lifesaving guide by renowned expert Dr. Patrick Walsh and award-winning science writer Janet Farrar Worthington offers a message of hope to every man facing this illness. Prostate cancer is a different disease in every man—which means that the right treatment varies for each man. Giving you a second opinion from the world’s top experts in surgery, pathology, urology, and radiation and medical oncology, this book helps you determine the best plan for you. Learn:
- What causes prostate cancer —your risk factors, including heredity, diet, and environment
- Why African American men are more vulnerable and what they need to know that may save their life
- What you can do to help prevent or delay the disease
- Why a physical exam and PSA test can save your life—and how newer blood tests and imaging make the diagnosis more accurate and reduce unnecessary treatment
- Why your cancer may not need to be treated right away, or at all – new guidelines for safe active surveillance
- Exciting advances in radiation and surgery that save lives and minimize side effects
- How breakthroughs in the treatment of advanced cancer are prolonging life and giving new hope for a disease that was once incurable.
Available in paperback or Kindle.

Where’s The Wine? And Other Questions
Overview: It’s here, it’s happening, it’s now, it’s — not War and Peace! It’s just a happy little book. Sick of politics, strife, tension? I am, too! Life is short — not unlike this book — and it should be taken with a smile or two. It’s available on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle.
Happy little snapshots of home and family, animals with attitude, life in a small town, and finding the funny when everything seems crazy.
“Janet has done it again! This easy-to-read witty book actually made me laugh out loud! If you’ve ever been in line at the grocery store, owned a dog, felt sleep-deprived, or craved Cap’n Crunch, you’ll surely relate to the author’s everyday-life observations. If you met the Worthington family in Janet’s first book, Bumble Creek Farm, you will be glad to know the more things change, the more they stay the same — more entertaining stories!”

Bumble Creek Farm
Meet Mark and Janet and their menagerie: Two young kids and a baby on the way, horses, dogs and a llama, escape-prone sheep, offbeat neighbors, and various construction workers laboring to renovate their ramshackle farmhouse. A delightful true account, told with love and humor by award-winning writer Janet Farrar Worthington, of her young family’s riotous adventures on their own “Green Acres,” as two urban professionals “who had no idea whatsoever what we were doing” start a farm in beautiful Horse Oak, Virginia.
Available in Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com as a paperback and also as a Kindle or Nook e-book!
“Easy, Enjoyable Read.“
-Steven Reszka May 7, 2012
“Bumble Creek Farm is touching, well-written, funny, and enjoyable book about a transitioning time in author Janet Farrar Worthington’s life. As Janet and her husband move to a farm, her sense of humor takes you through the learning curve of dealing with animals, children, construction workers and odd, but nice, neighbors. I started and finished the book on a rainy Saturday afternoon and found myself caught up in her world for a few hours. It was a pleasurable visit.“
Nelson Llama
Nelson Llama is working at the mall, scooping ice cream, when he sees the sign that changes his life: “Free classes!” He signs up for everything, becomes a gourmet cook, and his adventures begin! A fun, endearing, gentle tale, beautifully illustrated, with unforgettable characters and two recipes! Based on the real Nelson, our rescue llama, displaced by Hurricane Katrina. We thought he would be a guard llama for our sheep, but he was afraid of them. He liked the horses, though!
Available as a paperback and also as a Kindle!
