Patient-Recommended Books
Dr. Jerome Groopman, author of ‘The Anatomy of
Hope,’
discusses "True hope" and it's importance to survival -
"When a patient finds true hope, it's very different than
optimism."
Complete Guide to Medical
Tests, H. Winter Griffith, MD, Fisher Books
"Eating
Well Through Cancer" by Holly Clegg & Gerald
Miletello, M.D.
I have found the recipes to be simple, healthy and appealing. She
also provides food lists and tips for each condition.
Handbook of Medical Treatment (latest edition), William
Skach, MD, Charles Daley, MD & Christopher Forsmark, MD, Jones Medical Publications
"Hope
Begins in the Dark" by Jamie Reno
"I have been reading Jamie's new book "Hope Begins in the
Dark" including his inspirational introductions to 50 stories of
hope outlining the lymphoma survival stories of 50 different people
diagnosed with lymphoma. It is an amazing book, a work of obvious love
and caring, and I am placing an order for copies for family as well as
friends diagnosed with cancers...not even necessarily
lymphoma."
"Happiness
in a Storm" by Dr. Wendy Schlessel Harpham.
Dr. Harpham is also a survivor of NHL for many years. She has been
through the mill. I would recommend this book. It is excellent in
content and delivery. Ann
House
Calls, Patch Adams, Robert D. Reed Publishers
"Living
with Lymphoma: A Patient's Guide" by Elizabeth M. Adler.
YES! Excellent book for both patients and families of patients, or
anyone interested in this dx. ~
"Non-Hodgkin's
Lymphomas:
Making Sense of Diagnosis, Treatment & Options"
by Lorraine Johnson
A few years ago there was a book by Lorraine Johnson that was
really good. She had interviewed several of us before she wrote it. ~

Take This Book to The Hospital With
You,
A Consumers Guide to Surveying Your Hospital Stay, Charles Inlander & Ed Weiner, People’s Medical Society
The Best Medicine, Robert Arnot, MD, Addison-Wesley Publications
"The Patient from Hell: How I
Worked with My Doctors to Get the
Best of Modern Medicine and How You
Can Too" by Stephen Schneider
I really like Stephen Schneider's book as it teaches people how to apply scientific thinking to
treatment decisions and how to work with your doctors on a deeper and
more equal level than some of the other advice I've seen. I own a
number of the others that you list, and like them, but Stephen's book really got me to sit down and just read it.

The Roller Coaster
Chronicles by Betsy de Parry
An intimate, humorous portrait of illness and recovery…a source of education about new treatments…
and a handbook of support, inspiration and hope.
"A must read for fellow patients who
will learn that a diagnosis of cancer is not a death sentence, and for
doctors as well, who will learn that there’s more to a patient’s
illness than what can be found on a chart." - GERALDINE
FERRARO, Cancer Survivor and Candidate for Vice-President of the
United States of America
