DoP 2007
Breast cancer is by far the most common cause of cancer in women throughout the world, and incidence is escalating in the Asia Pacific region. It is time for systemic change in our attitudes to pesticides: we need to implement the precautionary principle and substitute safer ecological methods of managing pests, weeds and disease, for those pesticides exposed here as having the potential to cause breast cancer.
Written by PAN AP scientist and coordinator of PAN Aotearoa/New Zealand, Dr. Meriel Watts PhD, the book provides a compelling argument for preventing the exposure of women and girls to many of today’s commonly used pesticides. This collation of scientific evidence stretching over more than 30 years indicts 98 pesticides—including insecticides, herbicides and fungicides—one common adjuvant and two contaminants of pesticide formulations, as having the potential to cause breast cancer.

Each year, around the world, over one million women will be told they have breast cancer. All will face surgery, and most will undergo radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal treatment. But the worry isn't over when treatment ends.
In the months and years that follow, women are left with nagging questions, questions they often are afraid to ask: when will I know for sure that I am cured?; shouldn't my doctor be doing more follow-up testing?; what are the real figures on breast cancer survival for women treated today?; how would I know if I had a recurrence?; how do I answer family and friends who think I worry too much?; and do other women ever feel the way I do, and how do they cope? Author and 14 year breast cancer survivor Musa Mayer breaks the silence surrounding recurrence to talk frankly about the feelings of uncertainty and fear that breast cancer patients commonly face when their treatment ends, and for years thereafter.

One ordinary woman's journey through breast cancer and out the other side.
Meredith Norton is in love, and moves to Paris to be with her husband. She thought that coming to grips with the French and how they live life was hard enough - and then she discovered that she had breast cancer.
Funny, sharp and witty, Meredith chronicles her experiences, starting with her bizarre symptoms while living in Paris, to moving back home to California and her compulsive parents with their five TV sets. Irreverent and incredibly funny, Meredith rails against self-pity and victimhood, and rants about the innumerable copies of Lance Armstrong's cancer survival book offered by well meaning friends. And deals with 'my pig-hunting Buddhist ex-boy-friend who believed that organic meat and meditation could make me better'.
