Patient No More: The Politics Of Breast Cancer
Sharon Batt

Journalist Sharon Batt was a healthy athletic woman when she found a lump in her breast, and after the diagnosis she set out to understand her disease. It led her on a journey to unravelling the politics of medical research, of media and fundraisers who play the breast cancer ‘game’. Her book gives hope by closing with a call for a breast cancer movement, such as we have begun to see in recent years.
