This is one man's journey through a bone marrow transplant; the extensive hospital stay filled with good and bad days and then what happened in his life after he was discharged home. I found it extremely interesting to hear a patient perspective about a hospital stay and what happens after they go back to the "real world." Although this was one man's account, I felt like a lot of what happened to him is pretty typical of patients I see everyday. It is a quick read, written like a diary, but probably wouldn't mean a whole lot to someone that doesn't work in healthcare or hasn't encountered someone going through a transplant.

Incredibly powerful book about the experience of serious illness.
