Editorial Review:"Adler's professional background and experience as a lymphoma survivor make her the perfect person to write this book. The author's explanations are a gentle guide and a thorough introduction to the basics that give us the confidence to handle decisions relating to treatments and other aspects of lymphoma." -- Anne Atkinson, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin disease survivor and coordinator of the Women's Cancer Group

Rating:  - I'm not a Dr or a Scientist
I was hoping for a book that would give us more practicial information-as the title of the book, "Living with Lymphoma" implies I found most of it very difficult to understand and hard to read.

Rating:  - Lymphoma Survivor
This is the first book I read after being diagnosed with Lymphoma and still my favorite.
Rating: - Great Book!
This book is a terrific idea for individuals recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. It provides plenty of very useful and direct information that can help cancer patients make vital life-changing decisions. There is also a very useful glossary and index in the back.

I found her explanations of chemotherapy types very helpful, making the whole topic less daunting and scary. ... Read More
Rating: - Truly informative
Although there are a lot of technical/medical terms, I really enjoyed reading this book. I only wish it was available when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. The book helped explain some terms clearer than my doctors did, or maybe it was because I didn't have to try to remember everything, I could always go back and re-read a chapter or paragraph. I only hope my original treatment was sufficient to "cure" me and I won't need this information again in the future, but it is nice to know it is there and availble ... Read More
