Rating:  - Finally, a book about my type of cancer!
I am so excited that there now exists a book that describes my cancer. I was diagnosed with GIST last fall and was experiencing a dearth of information in printed form (other than the internet) about GIST. For those of you (probably most of you) who don't know, GIST stands for Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor. It is a rare cancer, but thankfully we GIST patients have two medications (one being Gleevec) that we can take as our chemotherapy. This book was written by a doctor at Sloan Kettering (where I have gone for treatment) and a doctor at Dana Farber, the two best-known cancer centers in the country. I plan to write a book someday about my experiences with GIST (I also have Multiple Sclerosis) but in the meantime, those of us "blessed" with this type of cancer now have a place to go for information and reassurance that this is not a death sentence. A big thank you to the authors and to Amazon for carrying this.
