内容説明・目次

内容説明

When a child is diagnosed with leukaemia, this is the book for the child and family to read. Known as "the red book" in the leukaemia community, "You and Leukaemia" is written for children, but is often used by adults with leukaemia, 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.
