I first came across this book in the library at the local Cancer center and after my husband and I had both read it, we decided to buy our own copy. It is highly recommended for anyone who is waiting for bone marrow transplant ( most are done by stem cell transplants now rather than using surgery.) For us it helped to clarify the procedures I will be going through, and it helped us to know what questions to ask my doctor …and to understand her answers. There is so much to learn about what will be happening to the patient and it is well worth while arming yourself with the knowledge. I felt really empowered when I read this book. It is dealing with a very complex procedure, but it is able to explain it in terms a layman can understand. A must-read for patients and their caregivers alike.

100 was simply too many questions for the subject, perhaps 50 of the questions are really important to someone so ill they are considering a stem cell transplant
Otherwise, as with the other title I purchased from this series, the book is clear, easy to read and worth the nominal purchase price
