  “ Very interesting book on the history of breast cancer before it even had a name to define it. The front cover of this book is of Rembrandt's "Bathsheba at her bath" This woman (Rembrandt's lover) had breast cancer, unbeknownst to her in 1654. It's a very poignant image of this womans unknown illness.
  This very educational book should be used as a text for students of oncology.”

  “One of the best books I have ever read. I have given copies to friends and co-workers and even wrote to the author (and he wrote back!) Should be mandatory for medical and nursing students and yet would have a lot of appeal to non-medical people too, although some of the descriptions are pretty graphic. ”
