This second volume in the "Supportive Measures in Oncology" series integrates the leukaemia patient into the team of doctors and nurses - a collection of experiences and suggestions offer patients practical help, and inform them in understandable language about the most significant accompanying conditions of the disease. The translation of often incomprehensible medical jargon is difficult, but patients cannot accept the necessity of the therapy and accompanying measures until they understand the language - then they can take on an active role. This leads to the formation of a "therapy team" - patient, family, physicians and nursing staff.
