"In Dialysis without Fear, psychiatrist and dialysis patient Dr. Daniel Offer is joined by his wife, Marjorie Kaiz Offer, and daughter, Susan Offer Szafir, to reveal how life can be lived - and lived well - on dialysis. Drawing on his long medical career and his years of personal experience with dialysis, Dr. Offer dispels many misconceptions surrounding this treatment, explaining how you can adapt to the new diet, travel, work, and continue to partake in life's joys and celebrations. But the fears and hardships can be quite real, and Dr. Offer brings his years as a psychiatrist to bear as he provides practical advice on how you and your loved ones can overcome them. Walking you through each step of dialysis, he explains different types of treatment, examines the pros and cons of a transplant, and discusses side effects. Since dialysis affects the entire family, Dr. Offer and his coauthors also provide realistic insights into how relatives can cope and thrive together, sharing the humor, courage, and triumphs of real families who have successfully faced the challenges of dialysis."--BOOK JACKET.
