BOOK DESCRIPTION:

This comprehensive guide covers acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).

After diagnosis, families have a huge need for accurate information and a steep learning curve. To help them cope, our book contains easy-to-understand text that has been reviewed by distinguished experts in childhood cancer. Woven throughout the text are true stories—practical, poignant, moving, funny—from more than 170 children with leukemia, their siblings, and their parents.
