Product Description

The second edition of this beautifully-illustrated oncology text is even better than the first. It offers a basic, medically accurate explanation of all phases of leukemia--including the biology of the disease, its causes and effects, and therapeutic modalities. YOU AND LEUKEMIA was written to help patients and families live with the illness, and answers many questions that patients and parents "were afraid to ask, or didn't ask" the doctor at the time of diagnosis or initial treatment.

Customer Reviews

an outstanding introduction to leukemia for all ages
Recently,my six year old daughter was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Her doctor immediately gave us a copy of You and Leukemia. As a beginning reference, the book helped to explain the terms, challenges and struggle we were about to face. I have purchased copies for all of the family members so that everyone can begin to understand leukemia. Writing in a thorough but simple manner, Baker has produced an important resources for patients and their relatives.

Excellent Resource
I highly recommend this book for any family going thru Leukemia. When my friends little boy was diagnosed 1 week ago with leukemia, I set out immediatley to find a book written for children that would explain to this little boy what was happening to him. I found and read a few good books on this topic, but this one is by far the best one I found. It is very thorough, but explained well. Every family going thru Leukemia, should have this book. It was also helpful for my own children so that they too could understand what is happening to their friend.
