Review New Book called 'Catching Breast Cancer' by James Lawson - eminent Breast Cancer Researcher
I haven't read this book yet - but it could be an interesting read. How AMAZING if they find that some breast cancers ARE an infectious disease or caused by bacteria (like ulcers - that was only discovered in the last 30+ years ....... ) From the Publisher: CATCHING BREAST CANCER “How is it possible to catch breast cancer?” “How could breast cancer be an infectious disease?” For over 20 years James Lawson and his local and international colleagues have searched for the causes of breast cancer. By 2021 they had found the answers. From Australia, Italy, Austria and the US, a handful of medical scientists dared to think outside the accepted narrative. These outward-thinking individuals and small dedicated teams overcame the intense rivalry and competitiveness that so often stymies scientific progress. Over two decades, their collaborative work discovered that you can catch breast cancer and that it can be indeed an infectious disease. These groundbreaking findings have laid the groundwork for the most important step of all – preventing breast cancer. Lawson's work takes you behind these discoveries to the personal stories of those that have made such immense contributions to science and human health. The dry world of scientific papers and journals comes to life as one delves into the stories of those bright and brave minds that have driven this progress. Some humorous, others sad or poignant, all are fascinating. From Professor Generoso Bevilacqua of Pisa: “I have just completed reading your book. It was a fantastic experience! One can find everything in it. Science, history, personal memories and many humorous anecdotes.” Catching Breast Cancer is an important and compelling detective story for our current generation.

Hi all, Please see post below by Saskia Lichtenstern, a breast cancer survivor from London who has asked us to help her reach out to women about a book she is putting together written by thousands of breast cancer survivors for women stepping into their footsteps. Saskia explains: This book isn’t about being diagnosed with breast cancer, or the treatment; it’s about integrating back into ‘normal’ life when the treatment is over. There’s no guidance for that part of the journey, and I believe that’s the hardest part of all. Everyone thinks the hardest part is the treatment, the chemo, the radiation, the hair falling out…but it isn’t. The hardest part comes after, when the treatment is over and we’ve been given the ‘all clear’. That’s when the hard part begins, when it all stops. This book will be a life raft for women that have finished treatment and have no idea where to go, what to do and who to be now it is all over. Sharing what we have learnt through hindsight means we can make the path smoother for those women that are now stepping in our post treatment footsteps, and make sure they do not feel alone and lost as we did back then. I want to collect Five Pearls of wisdom from breast cancer survivors all over the world. The website www.thefivepearls.com has an easy to fill out form where survivors can submit their pearls and become an author of something extraordinary; a book by a sisterhood of survivors, a collaboration of wisdom, feelings and thoughts for women that are now stepping in our post treatment footsteps. Every survivor that opens up her soul and shares her Five Pearls of Wisdom will be accredited as an author of the book.291Views0likes15Comments
