More than 400,000 people in the United States undergo kidney
dialysis. If you or a member of your family are one of them, then
the prospect of a regular appointment with a dialysis machine may
seem like the end of life itself. But that reaction couldn't be
more wrong.
In Dialysis Without Fear, psychiatrist and dialysis patient Dr.
Daniel Offer joins with 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
more than seven 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
patients can overcome them. Walking 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. The result is an
inspiring, practical guide that will help you and your family learn
to overcome the difficulties of dialysis, live without fear, and
enjoy every day.
