This book will help patients with MDS, because what the Author reveals about herself is honest and authentic, and the encouraging aspect of this book is therefore not made up and constructed, but convincing and leads to hope despite the condition.

Bergit speaks very openly about her fears, the chaos of emotions that the illness caused in her and the uncertainty about what is to come. She also does not hide the loss of friends who could not cope with her illness, or the friends she met through MDS but then lost through MDS. She lets MDS patients and their relatives share her knowledge about the disease and her perception of MDS. In my opinion, this is a very valuable addition to the medical perspective, which can help patients to better cope with the disease.
