A Resource About Information on Bone Marrow Transplantation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
