Rating: Summary: Outstanding information on all aspects of childhood leukemia Review: This book should be handed to every family with a newly diagnosed child. But there is valuable information even for those who have already completed treatment. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: The most complete guide for families fighting Leukemia. Review: This book will give you all the current reference needed to battle or learn about Leukemia. I couldn't have made it through without the basic down-to-earth language the book is written in. It is the first thing I recommend to families being faced with this diagnosis.
Rating: Summary: Donate a book to your local children's hospital. Review: This is an excellent book. If you are finished with your copy, please give it to someone in the waiting room with you next time you take your child in for chemo. Or better yet, buy a new one now and give it to someone who has a newly diagnosed child. Enjoy watching your donation change someone's experience for the better first hand. My grandson Jonnie, who has leukemia, also has a charity that benefits patients at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. We donate these books and also toys. Send a book there in his name. If you need to see bone marrow aspiration photos go to http://www.jonniescharity.com. These photos take the fear away for some kids who experience the procedure, but never get to see it done. This disease is rare. We're very lucky to have a book like this. Let's do what we can to see that everyone who can use it has a copy.
Rating: Summary: A perfect "Layperson's" Book Review: This is the perfect "layperson's" book for understanding Childhood Leukemia. The terms can be technical but always provide an accurate understanding so the parent can keep up with the physicians' or healthcare workers' instructions. Every topic of information that we needed was found in this book. Don't be alarmed by the size... it's everything you need to know.
Rating: Summary: This Book is the Bible of Childhood Leukemia! Review: When my son was diagnosed in July 2002 with ALL, I didn't even know what Leukemia was. I ordered this book from Amazon right away. Over a year later, I found myself still looking to this book for reference. After the doctors explain something to me I come home and look it up in this book and understand even better exactly what's going on with my son. If you know anyone with leukemia get a copy for yourself and for the parents of that child. (I have never written a review for a book before but felt compelled to tell people how helpful this book has been to me.)
