This small book represents a very tidy, concise, informative introduction to this rare disease, multiple myeloma. It is a very complicated disease process, and whether you have some basic medical knowledge or not, the reader will appreciate how easy it is to extract information and answers to questions.

Written by a physician specializing in the disease and a patient who has experienced the worst of what this disease can offer, together they deliver hope and basic knowledge so a patient, care giver or relative can make informed decisions.

I am personally inspired by the patient (and author) James W Huston. There are real and promising treatments and he quite simply embodies the term survivor. I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. A Bashey as well. I urge you to get this book as a excellent first resource to aid you and your family or friends in the fight against myeloma.

My husband was just recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and we're all in shock. This was the first book I bought and it was the perfect book for the newly diagnosed. If you've been receiving treatment for awhile you probably know it all. But for me it filled in so many blanks and allowed me to ask the right questions. If you're starting out, get this book.

This is an excellent book for someone who has been recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It's written clearly and will provide a TON of information to help you deal with what's ahead, and help translate the "medical-ese" thrown at you by your oncology team.

After reading several books on this topic, this is the one for anyone trying to understand this condition.

I purchased this book for my mother who was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The format of the book (Q&A) is very easy to read but also informative. Now we all better understand what the doctors are talking about and the treatment options, side effects, etc. This is a must have for people stuggling to learn quickly about multiple myeloma.

Very simple, clear, written in laymen's language; a good place to begin the inevitable research. I was very considerate of buying only up-to-the-minute books, as medicine changes so quickly

I found this book very informative. My father was diagnosised with Multiple Myeloma and I have a somewhat better understanding about the disease. I highly reccommend it for any family member of a person with MM or the person themselves.

Just like the title says: this book, intended for those (and their caregivers) newly diagnosed with myeloma, answers 100 general questions you're likely to have when confronted with this nasty blood cancer. Co-written by an oncologist and a myeloma patient. No substitute for actual treatment, to state the obvious, but a good primer that doesn't have to be read cover to cover for the informative value it provides.
