Recommended Books (alphabetical order)

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. ~ Ronnie

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. ~ Andy

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
