A prostate cancer diagnosis changes everything. The decisions come quickly, the information is overwhelming, and the stakes feel impossibly high.
In Prostate Cancer Warrior, healthcare executive and stage 4 prostate cancer survivor John Barron offers a practical, evidence-informed framework to help men navigate treatment and reclaim a sense of control during one of life's most difficult challenges.
Drawing from years of leadership in national healthcare initiatives and his own personal fight against advanced prostate cancer, Barron introduces the TIDES framework: Treatment, Inspiration, Diet, Exercise, and Sleep. Rather than promoting miracle cures or replacing medical care, TIDES is designed to complement evidence-based treatment while helping men strengthen resilience, improve quality of life, and support long-term health.
Combining personal experience, scientific research, and actionable guidance, the book explores topics ranging from PSA testing and treatment decisions to nutrition, movement, sleep, mindset, and survivorship.
Inside, readers will find practical strategies to:
- Make informed treatment decisions with clarity and confidence
- Support survival and quality of life through a practical, evidence-informed framework
- Use the Survivor Six dietary strategies to influence key biological drivers of the disease
- Build sustainable routines across nutrition, movement, sleep, and mindset
- Take practical steps that complement treatment, not replace it
Written for patients, spouses, caregivers, and families, Prostate Cancer Warrior is not a medical textbook. It is a grounded and actionable guide for men determined to survive and thrive beyond prostate cancer.

John Barron has been married to his wife, Cheryl, for more than thirty years. Together they raised two children and built a life grounded in resilience and gratitude. They live in Massachusetts, where daily walks and a shared commitment to health remain central to their lives. John is a stage 4 prostate cancer survivor whose journey has included radical prostate surgery, radiation therapy, and two years of androgen deprivation therapy, giving him firsthand insight into treatment and its side effects. Professionally, John is a former healthcare executive and Six Sigma Black Belt who led national clinical initiatives for a top-ten Fortune 500 company, applying disciplined analysis, statistical rigor, and evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes. When diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, he turned that same structured, data-driven approach toward his own survival. Through extensive research, consultation with experts, and lived experience, he created the TIDES framework to help men survive-and thrive-beyond prostate cancer. He is in his fifth year of remission, with no evidence of disease.
