5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent initial resource book about MM, May 21, 2005

By	Janice M. Hansen (California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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)

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.

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

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
