I was confused and overwhelmed. All the medical terms used to describe a BMT were new to me, and often I was so lost I couldn't even figure out the right questions to ask! After recovering from my BMT, I met several BMT survivors and learned my experience was not unique.
This book is written BY patients FOR patients with the help of several doctors and nurses. It's designed to translate some of the medical information you'll receive before, during and after your bone marrow transplant into plain English.
There's no getting around it - bone marrow transplantation is a big, confusing subject. There's lots of information to absorb in this book. Take it at your own pace.
If you're only ready for the basics, start with Chapters One and Six. Then use the table of contents and index to find answers to the questions that are bothering you most.
When you're ready, read the other chapters for a more in-depth explanation of the different kinds of transplants, complications that can arise, and how other patients have coped with the experience.
I know how difficult it is to make the decision to have a bone marrow transplant, undergo the treatment and get back to a normal life. I hope this book helps make your experience a little easier.
