Customer Reviews

Must have for Multiple Myeloma patients or caregivers

I purchased this book for my mother who was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The format of the book (Q & A) is very easy to read but also informative. Now we all better understand what the doctors are talking about and the treatment options, side effects, etc. This is a must have for people stuggling to learn quickly about multiple myeloma.

Must have for any MM patient

Very simple, clear, written in laymen's language; a good place to begin the inevitable research. I was very considerate of buying only up-to-the-minute books, as medicine changes so quickly

100 questions & answers about Myeloma

I found this book very informative. My father was diagnosised with Multiple Myeloma and I have a somewhat better understanding about the disease. I highly reccommend it for any family member of a person with MM or the person themselves.

Title Tells All

Just like the title says: this book, intended for those (and their caregivers) newly diagnosed with myeloma, answers 100 general questions you're likely to have when confronted with this nasty blood cancer. Co-written by an oncologist and a myeloma patient. No substitute for actual treatment, to state the obvious, but a good primer that doesn't have to be read cover to cover for the informative value it provides.

Excellent initial resource book about MM

This small book represents a very tidy, concise, informative introduction to this rare disease, multiple myeloma. It is a very complicated disease process, and whether you have some basic medical knowledge or not, the reader will appreciate how easy it is to extract information and answers to questions. Written by a physician specializing in the disease and a patient who has experienced the worst of what this disease can offer, together they deliver hope and basic knowledge so a patient, care giver or relative can make informed decisions. I am personally inspired by the patient (and author) James W Huston. There are real and promising treatments and he quite simply embodies the term survivor. I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. A Bashey as well. I urge you to get this book as a excellent first resource to aid you and your family or friends in the fight against myeloma.
