When a child is diagnosed with leukemia, this is the book for the child and family to read. Known as 'the red book' in the leukemia community, You and Leukemia is written for children, but is often used by adults with leukemia, as well. The new second edition continues to make a challenging disease easier to understand for both children and adults. Extensively illustrated and written in a conversational style, it reflects the relatively recent developments that have made survival a much greater probability than in the past.
- New comprehensive resource list in the back of the book featuring publications, organizations, and websites.
- Completely rewritten cranial radiation section that reflects recent developments in this area.
- New section on surviving leukemia.
- New coverage of pain management during procedures.
- Expanded section on What Causes Leukemia includes more on toxic chemicals and EMFS.

Summary: Excellent Resource
Comment: I highly recommend this book for any family going thru Leukemia. When my friends little boy was diagnosed 1 week ago with leukemia, I set out immediatley to find a book written for children that would explain to this little boy what was happening to him. I found and read a few good books on this topic, but this one is by far the best one I found. It is very thorough, but explained well. Every family going thru Leukemia, should have this book. It was also helpful for my own children so that they too could understand what is happening to their friend.

Summary: an outstanding introduction to leukemia for all ages
Comment: Recently,my six year old daughter was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Her doctor immediately gave us a copy of You and Leukemia. As a beginning reference, the book helped to explain the terms, challenges and struggle we were about to face. I have purchased copies for all of the family members so that everyone can begin to understand leukemia. Writing in a thorough but simple manner, Baker has produced an important resources for patients and their relatives.
