Review New Book called 'Catching Breast Cancer' by James Lawson - eminent Breast Cancer Researcher

I now have a copy of the book to read from a friend - James Lawson is her Dad!

I started reading it last night - and I know it will be a very interesting, if controversial, read. 

It really IS about researchers thinking 'outside the square' - trying to think of 'other reasons' why otherwise healthy, fit & happy women have their lives turned upside down with a Breast Cancer diagnosis & all it entails  .....

Everyone now knows that Cervical Cancer is caused by a virus & there is now a vaccine to prevent it .... so a virus may well be causing BC as well!  Only time & research will tell.

I've suggested to my friend that her Dad should also start looking into the cause of Mets as well - as we all know - it can hit any one of us at any time & they just do NOT know why!  :( 

I understand that ALL of our tissue samples (from our biopsies) are kept by the pathology labs for DECADES (they re-examined my husband's tissue after his Mets diagnosis early last year, 13 years after his initial surgery.)  So with every NEW Mets diagnosis, they need to go back & re-examine those original slides to compare with the Mets slide to try & identify WHY it was triggered when it didn't 'show' in the original .... or maybe there was a hint it may change to Mets but just wasn't recognised as such at the time!?

A bovine leukaemia Virus have already been identified in cow milk and may well have been transferred to humans, as it has already been identified in some breast cancer tissue and also in human blood samples!
