Rating: - Take It from Someone Who Has Been There
As someone who has been through a blood stem cell transplant, I can not emphasize enough how helpful and informative this book was. I was fortunate to have "found" it before the procedure and it provided me with information that not only helped me make informed decisions, but also went into enough detail so I understood how I was going to benefit from a transplant and what I was going to go through.

Rating: - An excellent sourcebook for healthcare providers
This book should be required reading for healthcare providers prior to working with transplant patients. As a healthcare provider, I found the information in this book to be invaluable in explaining the transplant process. This book covers all aspects of the patient's experience from diagnosis through coming home and the post-transplant years.

Rating: - Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants A Guide
Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients is well written and comprehensive in its coverage of the transplant process. I was fortunate enough to be a stem cell donor and this book helped me understand what I would be going through when donating, but more importantly it helped me understand what a transplant recipient must go through.
Rating: - Ruth P. Krueger, parent
I wish this book had been written 15 years ago when my daughter had a bone marrow transplant for AML leukemia. It explains in clear but sensitive language not only the procedure but answers the myriad of questions that confront a patient's family.
