History of treatment for childhood leukemia 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.
Childhood leukemia survival rates have increased dramatically in the last 20 years and this book gives historical perspective of significant treatment breakthroughs and scientific developments through the stories of several doctors and researchers. Excellent reference book for students and researchers, less applicable for medical consumers who may find current treatment-oriented books more useful.
Miracles and Medicine: One Parent's Introduction to Leukemia 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.
I came across this book while sitting in my daughter's hospital room still inundated with the news that she had childhhod leukemia. It was there amid the pamphlets and literature that symbolized the "dump" our lives had just taken.I picked it up one sleepless night and, by the time I finished, I knew that my duaghter had every chance of surviving. We faced her two and a half year treatment with a new understanding that we were members of a group of children, families, medical practitioners and researchers who make a difference.
That was five years ago. This book set the tone for our struggles and victories large and small. It gave us perspective. It gave us hope and it gave us gratitude for all of the efforts that, ulitmately, gave my daughter back to me -- healthy and strong.
