- A patient-education booklet describing the latest techniques regarding
- Bone Marrow Transplantation in now available from the Leukemia Society of
- America. This is no routine brochure, but a 52 page booklet crammed full of
- information about every aspect of bone marrow transplants, outlining in detail
- what the process entails, evaluation of donors and donor candidates, marrow
- harvest, preparation and isolation, marrow infusion, recovery, long-term
- problems, and most important, the psychological and social aspects associated
- with the procedure. The booklet is written in easy to understand language and
- is a thorough resource for patients, their families and the public in general.
- Special sections include a "Bibliography" listing both technical and
- non-technical publications, a "Glossary" explaining important terms associated
- with transplantation, and a list of additional "Resources", with the names,
- addresses and telephone numbers of a large number of organizations and
- associations that can provide further avenues to pursue your search for
- information.
- This and a host of other booklets are available free of charge from your
- local chapter of the Leukemia Society of America. The LSA's toll-free
- information hotline is 1-800-955-4572.
