  • Side effects and long-term effects of treatment, including how to cope and increase your quality of life
  • Emotional responses to diagnosis, treatment, remission, possible recurrence, and other aspects of dealing with the condition, including stories from dozens of families living with leukemia
  • Getting support from your family, friends, employers, and the broader community
  • Leukemia resources: a comprehensive list that includes organizations, print, and online sites
