Summary: Adult Leukemia: A Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Famil
Review: This is a wonderfully thorough and easily understandable book. And while lots of the information was familiar, it really helped to have so many aspects collected in one place. "Granny Barb" seems to cover all of the key areas one would want to know about leukemia.

Summary: A Good Start
Review: When my husband was diagnosed with leukemia I searched high and low to arm myself with knowledge. This comprehensive guide is a good first step. Grannybarb and Art's website is also excellent and filled with first hand accounts of the journey to recovery. Best wishes for good health.

Summary: Leukemians' Bible
Review: Whether you're the patient (like I was) or family, friend or caregiver to one, its one of the first things most people do when diagnosed with leukemia. You look for more information. You'll find lots of books about cancer. But very few specifically about adult leukemia. GrannyBarb has certainly put it all together for us. And you can benefit by as much or as little as you choose to use. There is no other book like this one. I've looked. I only wish it were written five years sooner. It would have saved this CML survivor a lot of wasted time and energy searching for factual information, authoritatively written in patient-speak--the language we need in order to understand better to recover quicker.

Summary: One of a Kind--a Winner
Review: Written from the viewpoint of a Leukemia survivor, this is a very comprehensive and readable guide that not only tells you everything you need to know about this disease, but also is chock-full of resources available elsewhere. The author has filled this book with the answer to virtually every question someone could have. While readable and intended for the non-medical person, the book will meet anyone's needs who desire to learn about the technical aspects of the disease from the chemistry of the blood to treatment options. This book is a must for anyone who has been diagnosed with Leukemia, or who has a loved one with the disease. It would also be helpful for someone who is involved with care of leukemia patients.
