Check with your local American Cancer Society and see what they recommend. Also going to support groups for cancer might be helpful. If you have hospice, they have social workers that can help you I think. I think you want something like dealing with grief/loss...or a book about leukemia. Here are some good books about diseases in general, treatments, care given etc...
3 books on disease symptoms and treatments
you could also get these books on ebay or amazon or a half price book store. (last two are very similar)..
1.Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
2.Handbook of Diseases (Lippencott)
3.Professional Guide to Diseases (Springhouse)
The bible
This isnt an answer, but that is very sad news indeed. It actually made me cry a little... You shall be in my prayers tonight.
I hope the following years treat you well.
God bless you
