Description

Laura Landro (au). Shortly after her 37th birthday, reporter Laura Landro was told that she had chronic myelogenous leukemia. This is the remarkable account of her battle against this devastating, potentially fatal cancer -- & her successful struggle to take control of her own case. Landro resolved to use her journalistic training to seek out the treatment that would give her the best shot at surviving. She shows how & why all patients can -- & must -- arm themselves with the facts, learn to understand medical jargon, get doctors to answer all their questions in layman’s terms, weigh conflicting medical opinions, & make the difficult choice among the options open to them. Offers readers the know-how to navigate the terrifying & bewildering world of med.
