Description

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.
