A Special Report on Breast Cancer
On Tuesday October 10th 2000, to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the TVO series Your Health dedicated a one-hour program to this life-threatening disease. Hosted by Maureen Taylor, The Breast Cancer Special presented the personal, political and preventative strategies women can employ to combat the disease. The show also featured profiles of three breast cancer survivors who "shared their journey through diagnosis, treatment and family support." Following the broadcast, viewers participated in a live Internet chat session by accessing Your Health's Web Site.
In
this special report, Your Health brought you the latest research into
breast cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Maureen interviewed
Dr. Susan Love, author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book and asked medical
oncologist Dr. Kathleen Pritchard and cancer activist Pat Kelly whether
Canadian women are receiving the best treatment available. Also, our herbal expert Joe Schwarcz looks at the role of soy in breast cancer
