This review is from: 100 Questions & Answers About Myeloma (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: 100 Questions and Answers About Myeloma (100 Questions & Answers about . . .) (Paperback)
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.
