Bathsheba's Breast: Women, Cancer, and History Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition
by James S. Olson
Historian James S. Olson--who lost his left hand and forearm to cancer while writing this book--provides an absorbing and often frightening narrative history of breast cancer, from ancient Egypt to Dr. Jerri Nielson, who was dramatically evacuated from the South Pole in 1999 after performing a biopsy on her own breast.
First line
There are so many people to thank, but I am especially grateful to Dr. Richard Martin, my personal surgeon at The University of Texas M.D.
