About this book

So you've just been told you have spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia Kondo-Fu. Long name, longer silence after the doctor said it. Your brain is spinning with questions you're too overwhelmed to articulate: What does this mean? Is it my fault? What happens next? This guide is written for that exact moment — the raw, frightened space right after a diagnosis. It's not a medical textbook and it's not a pep talk. It's a straight-talking, occasionally warm and irreverent walk through the reality of this condition, one plain step at a time.

Reader Reviews

Richard Clark

★★★★★

It's okay. It's very basic — I feel like I've already read most of this on medical websites, just with nicer words. It didn't tell me much new about the disease, but I can see how it might help someone who has never heard of any of this before. The tone is friendly; I just wish it had gone deeper.

Jonathan Baker

★★★★

I bought this the night my daughter was diagnosed and went from crying to actually breathing again. The part that got me was the chapter on feeling like a bad gene-person — it took that guilt and set it down gently. It doesn't fix anything, but it makes the terrifying week-hour a bit less awful. Worth it for that alone.
