I can't recall who said that "knowledge that can't be shared is useless" but it is the first thing that came to mind when I finished reading the book.


Barbara Lackritz (AKA GrannyBarb to those who have the honour to know and love her) has done a remarkable job of sharing her knowledge and personal experiences with those who seek more knowledge on adult leukemia.


I strongly recommend this book, not only for patients and their families but perhaps even more so for fellow physicians. Reading the "case reports" as submitted by the patients themselves will be a wise investment of time for any physician. To know how our patients feel and how they struggle to cope with their disease is the starting point for any treatment.


I wish to express my sincerest gratitude and respect to GrannyBarb for this book.
