I just started reading this book so this review is not based on a thorough reading. However, it is written by a non-physician who is a leukemia patient, for leukemia patients. It addresses the questions one asks when first diagnosed with leukemia and has good reference material as well. I’m sure I’ll be more positive about this work after I’ve perused it more.

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.
