Multiple Myeloma Handbook
Called the "Must Have" book for every family fighting multiple myeloma. . . .
Written in plain English by an author whose wife was diagnosed with MM early in 2003. This book details a lot of the information which this couple developed as they worked through the treatment for MM.
It starts with an overview of the disease, and how the MM is actually diagnosed. It goes on to discuss such topics as classification systems, most common treatment therapies, and medications. Side effects of commonly used medications are included, as well as a glossary of commonly used terms.
MM symptoms which you may encounter are discussed and also physical changes which the patient may experience. There are links to many other information resources and agencies. Several sections deal with lifestyle changes, housekeeping needs, travel accommodation, and record keeping for patient information and how to interpret test reports. There are reproducible forms for commonly used charts and records as well as a link to an online site where the publisher maintains the forms for your convenient download in PDF format.
It is the worldwide #1 seller on this topic in Amazon, where one buyer reviewed it saying: " This book is like blessed rain after a drought. Someone close to me has MM and when we received the diagnosis, I frantically tried to find info on the disease of which I had never even heard. This little book should be given out by doctors to every new MM patient. It's clear, wryly humorous and positive, yet realistic voice covers everything from how one feels when finding out what's wrong with the patient to making final decisions. Do I or my loved one have 2 years or 15? What, exactly, IS Multiple Myeloma? What can we expect, what medicines are around, what are their names and what do they do? What if I can't eat, or lose my hair? How will he deal with depression or anxiety? What changes will we have to make at home? Should family and friends be told the truth? Where is the reliable internet information on this rare and intractable disease? How does one cope? My copy is so dog-eared that it looks almost as if it came with angled corners on its pages! The author's wife is fighting for remission, as many of us are. He knows what he's talking about. Let doctors write the exacting medical tomes about this, but for practical, supremely useful advice, Heller's book is a must read."
