BMT Infonet's Book: "Bone Marrow Transplants: A Book of Basics for Patients"
Bone Marrow Transplants: A Book of Basics for Patients was the first handbook written by Susan K. Stewart to help patients understand what's involved in undergoing a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Called the "Bible" by many patients, this book has been replaced by our newest book Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients. The new book includes all the helpful information contained in the Book of Basics, as well as new chapters on finding and being a donor, choosing a transplant center, pain control, nutrition after transplant and more.
