A textbook describing CML, its treatment, and future therapies. A 30-something is mistakenly told she's too young for breast cancer. The author writes about her BMT for CML at the Hutch in the early 1990s. Definitely worth a read. Some readers might be put off, though, by the privileges she receives by virtue of her contacts.
Inseparable friends share life and death.
You'll want to read it more than once. A good, easy read about an actor diagnosed with acute leukemia when BMTs were just coming of age in the late 1980s. Some of the explicit content might offend some readers, but the overall story is a good one. Lots of focus on alternative healing. At first, she refused to accept the news, but as her illness progressed she couldn't deny the truth.
