The only reason you would be reading this book is if you have lymphoma or know someone who does. You're not in need of platitudes or sympathy, you need answers. This book gives you the answers in clear, everyday speak in a good order. Excellent help.

If you think you have lymphoma read this one! by R. E. Kneeshaw (San Diego, California)

This is an excellent book for anyone who thinks they have, or has been diagnosed with, lymphoma. It's easy to read and understand, not too medical. Just enough medical technical jargon to help you understand the various types of lymphoma, the stages, and the possible treatment options. It's especially good for family, friends, and caregivers. I bought one when my wife was diagnosed and bought another as a gift when her brother in law was also diagnosed, each with a different type of lymphoma. Rick E. Kneeshaw

This book gets right to the questions and answers about Lymphoma. I purchased it for a relative and her family when she was Dx'd with Lymphoma. I think it will be a book that is referred to often in the upcoming year. Glad I found it on [...] !

100 Q&A books tend to answer, well, 100 questions. Haing read the book I believe it is a good introduction to lymphoma from a new patient, family member, or loved one. Information is written very clearly and you do not have to wade through ten chapters to find a specific nuggent of information. The format does have the limitation that each subject mentioned is not explored in-depth compared to some of the other books in the same class. While very good for an introduction, if a patient is down into treatment or trying to decide on a specific treatment among choices, you'll want to look at another text. But if one of my "family & friends" wanted to learn just a bit more after hearing I was diagnosed (if diagnosed today) I'd recommend this book. For my caregiver, I'd steer them towards more complete texts like Living with Lymphoma or maybe even the more medically oriented books Hodgkin's Disease or The Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas both by Mauch et al.
