{"product_id":"9781596300958","title":"Fbc the Full Bladder Club: One Man's Encounter with Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer","description":"At the end of this summer, I was diagnosed with having prostate cancer. My doctor, the urologist and the radiation oncologist agreed, after the biopsy, that external radiation therapy was the best treatment for me. I went through the preparation process and then had 45 sessions of radiation therapy. I found this entire experience so fascinating that I kept a journal from the day of notification of a possible prostate problem to the completion of the therapy. After describing the preparation process, I broke down the narrative into daily experiences (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.). I describe what I observed, what I feel; I reminisce while on the treatment table. I let my mind wander back to my childhood, my love of music, travels, etc. I call this experience the \"FBC or the Full Bladder Club\" (a full bladder is required for this form of radiation therapy). I subtitled it \"One man's encounter with nine weeks of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. A story about an adult disease told with an adult sense of humor.\"","brand":"Science \u0026 Humanities Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031080059120,"sku":"9781596300958","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596300958_p0.jpg?v=1763813308","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596300958","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
