Editorial Reviews for Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide For Patients Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients is the next generation of Susan K. Stewart's groundbreaking 1992 book Bone Marrow Transplants: A Book of Basics for Patients. This new 228 paage guide combines solid medical information with the voices of people who have been through a transplant. Comprehensive and easy-to-read, Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients is a goldmine of information for people considering a transplant with donor marrow or stem cells. The book covers a variety of topics and issues such as; History of Transplantation Nuts and Bolts of a Transplant Choosing a Transplant Center Finding a Stem Cell Donor Being a Donor Emotional/Psychological Considerations When Your Child Needs a Transplant Preparative Regimen Graft-versus-Host Disease Infection Liver Complications Nutrition Relieving Pain Caregiving Long Term Survivors: What Lies Ahead Sexuality and Reproduction Insurance and Fundraising
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Take It from Someone Who Has Been There Comment: 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. I consider this must reading for anyone facing this medically and emotionally complex process. Customer Rating: Summary: An excellent sourcebook for healthcare providers Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Friend of a Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Comment: People who have told me how helpful this book is are right! It explains the procedures so that those who aren't medical professionals can understand them. It explains how to understand test results, much of what the transplant patient will go through, and how to deal with the side effects and ramifications. It even offers suggestions of ways to help out patients and their caregivers and family! I have never seen a more comprehensive, down-to-earth book about this subject. My friends and I strongly recommend it. Customer Rating: Summary: Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants A Guide Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Ruth P. Krueger, parent Comment: 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.
