Summary: "Childhood Leukemia" - best practical guide for parents
Comment: Nancy Keene's book, "Childhood Leukemia", is the best book in print for parents and other caregivers who have a child facing the arduous but very successful treatment for a once incurable disease. "Childhood Leukemia" bridges the gap between the hoodoo of inspirational books and the voodoo of medical texts. Using her background in biology, Nancy dispels the terror that the word cancer engenders - a terror that needn't be, now that over 85 percent of children with leukemia are cured -- by describing medical terms and procedures in lay terms, and offering practical methods for coping with pain, boredom, depression and uncertainty, as well as childhood development after cancer. This book is organized so that one can read and assimilate only what's meaningful and absorbable at a given stage, yet its comprehensive scope insures that this will be the book you check first to find the answers you need. Nancy pays special attention to the emotional aspects of coping with childhood cancer, merging many first-person accounts from parents who have found unique ways to handle each obstacle that has arisen. Indeed, this book would serve well as a reference for anyone coping with any childhood cancer.

Summary: Outstanding information on all aspects of childhood leukemia
Comment: This book should be handed to every family with a newly diagnosed child. But there is valuable information even for those who have already completed treatment. Highly recommended.

Summary: This Book is the Bible of Childhood Leukemia!
Comment: When my son was diagnosed in July 2002 with ALL, I didn't even know what Leukemia was. I ordered this book from Amazon right away. Over a year later, I found myself still looking to this book for reference. After the doctors explain something to me I come home and look it up in this book and understand even better exactly what's going on with my son. If you know anyone with leukemia get a copy for yourself and for the parents of that child. (I have never written a review for a book before but felt compelled to tell people how helpful this book has been to me.)
