Myelodysplastic-Syndromes Books

Naomi Zikmund Fisher's book was a wonderful read. You want to know how the story ends. Ms. Zikmund-Fisher gives you the human face of a caregiver and the energy it takes to be one--not a white-washed version of the transplant process. You share her and her families fears and uncertainties. You also experience her joys and successes along the way.

It contains practical information for caregivers and the friends who love and want to suppport those involved.

For those interested in a truly honest account of the transplant experience, as seen through the eyes of a devoted wife, this is a real page-turner. It describes the challenges and frustration they endure, her determination to make her husband a survivor so that he can see their baby grow up, and is sprinkled with a sense of humor that will make you laugh.

It doesn't sugar-coat the experience, but does help the reader to understand a lot of what people can expect to go through, hopefully preparing them to better deal with it themselves, if they need to.
