The Breast Health & Healing Foundation is pleased to introduce the newest book by Dr. Kathleen T. Ruddy, The Pink Virus.
The Pink Virus in its most basic terms, is the story of the breast cancer virus, what we can collectively do to continue the research, and what can be done to prevent the disease.
The Pink Virus is important reading for anyone and everyone who has been impacted directly or indirectly by Breast Cancer.
Here is a small excerpt from The Pink Virus:
In 1995, as a newly-minted breast cancer surgeon, endowed with the treatment-oriented orthodoxy of modern medicine, I, too, was baffled by the unrelenting upward trend of new cases of breast cancer, and could only add to the general wonder that I believed estrogen was a likely co-conspirator in the development of the disease. As for the causes... you could almost feel the collective shrug as thousands of doctors wrote millions of prescriptions for mammograms – and then wrote referrals to oncologists and surgeons in an ever-widening search for a "cure."
My medical education taught me that the best way to fight breast cancer was through early diagnosis and treatment, but on one cold morning in February 2007 this limited view changed forever when my colleague and friend, Dr. Kenneth Blank, loaned me his copy of the syllabus from the "Current Trends in Breast Cancer" meeting in New York City 2006, a locally sponsored update of the premier San Antonio Breast Conference. Later that evening, as I read through the material, I discovered research presented by JF Holland about his work on a mouse virus that was suspected of causing breast cancer in women. I was surprised, to say the least.
In fact, I was flabbergasted. "Was it really possible that a virus caused breast cancer?" The very next morning I dashed off to the Medical Library and asked Arlene Mangino, our marvelous librarian, to conduct a literature search on the mouse mammary tumor virus, MMTV. As usual, Arlene appeared in my office several hours later, arms full with the articles I had requested. That evening I got to work reading through them, and as I read into the wee hours of the night I was increasingly astonished and amazed by the evidence that lay before me.
