“As you can well imagine my bout with prostate cancer made me understand how awareness and early detection can mean the difference between life and death. However, your book showed me how the lives of so many men, especially African American men, are so often at risk simply because they lack routine screening and comprehensive care". John F. Kerry, United States Senator (Massachusetts), Prostate Cancer Survivor ********** “The conventional medical teaching has been that all men will ultimately be affected by cancer of the prostate if they live long enough. The diagnosis evokes anger, fear and bewilderment in patients. In addition, both physicians and patients experience uncertainty regarding treatment choices. As a physician, I highly recommend Battling the Killer Within, which is easy to read and instructive for both laymen and physicians.” William E. Matory, M.D., Director of Continuing Medical Education, National Medical Association ********** “My husband is a prostate cancer survivor, and I was an original “Us TOO” board member. After reading Battling the Killer Within, I gave it as gifts to men in my family to help educate them. I highly recommend that other women read this book to be able to support the men they love.” Mrs. Louis W. Sullivan (Ginger) ********* “I have been blessed not having to face prostate cancer. However, Battling the Killer Within has helped me to understand the importance of regular screenings and monitoring my prostate health. I also passed the book along to friends and family to assist them with their needs.” Daniel Dennis, Sr., Managing Partner and Founder, Daniel Dennis & Company LLP ******** “In a very real way I believe that Battling the Killer Within helped to save my life. It was Tom’s book that moved me to take action which I would not have done otherwise. The book motivated me to request a biopsy, which my urologist felt was unnecessary. Eventually he agreed to do a biopsy for my peace of mind. We were both surprised to find I had a prostate cancer diagnosis. Thank God for Battling the Killer Within” Roderick Ireland, Prostate Cancer Survivor ********* “As a cancer survivor since 2003, my initial process to become educated about prostate cancer was greatly enhanced through the use of the book Battling the Killer Within. I found the information contained within the book to be invaluable in helping me select a treatment plan.” Robbie Robinson, Prostate Cancer Survivor ******** “I purchased several copies of Battling the Killer Within and gave them to some of my friends because I wanted them to be aware of their risk and to spread the word to others. All of my gift recipients found the book to be a valuable resource; and those who subsequently developed prostate cancer, found that resource to be life saving and quality-of-life preserving.” Fletcher A. “Flash” Wiley, Esq., Principal and Executive Vice President, PRWT Services, Inc. ********* “This book had to be written! Men, particularly African America men, must be knowledgeable about the risk of and treatments for prostate cancer. Battling the Killer Within is a ‘must read’ for every African American man (and woman)! As a survivor of prostate cancer, PHEN gives me an avenue to help other men face this disease successfully. I along with the other survivors working with PHEN are committed to increasing awareness and helping save lives throughout Greater Boston.” Marvin E. Gilmore, Jr., President/CEO, CDC of Boston, Prostate Cancer Survivor ********** “When first diagnosed with prostate cancer Tom Farrington was the first person I talked to. He gave me a copy of Battling the Killer Within and it was the single most important piece of information that helped me in getting data, which in turn led me to my best decision regarding treatment and a cure.” Jerry Womack, Prostate Cancer Survivor ********* “Prostate cancer has stricken multiple members of my family and members of my congregation. Battling the Killer Within has been an important resource for them and to educate myself about the risks of prostate cancer. I encourage all men to learn more about this disease” Reverend Dr. John Womack, Sr. Pastor, Metropolitan Baptist Church, Dorchester, MA ********* "Mr. Farrington's book was brought to my attention and I purchased a copy. I found it very inspiring, informative, and beneficial in supporting my treatment decision. It gave me firsthand information regarding what to expect from someone who had gone through the whole process. I recommend every man diagnosed with prostate cancer read "Battling the Killer Within" in order to better understand and acquaint himself with this disease and all of the treatments that are available for its cure. The contents of this book are simply written from a layman's point.... My wife and grown children also read this book, which gave them a better understanding of prostate cancer and its treatment and enabled them to give me morale and loving support." H. B. Abrams, Prostate Cancer Survivor
