 | Advanced Breast Cancer by Linda Lamb, Musa Mayer
For an estimated 100,0OO American women today, breast cancer has progressed to become metastatic and ultimately incurable. Currently there are no books written for women with metastatic breast cancer. (Books on primary breast cancer -- of which there are many -- typically end with a few paragraphs or pages about recurrence and then silence.) Now there is a book for these women, who commonly live two or three years past diagnosis and who sometimes live eight or more years. Holding Tight, Letting Go is based on the firm belief that knowing more about metastatic breast cancer, and reading what other people have experienced with the disease, will be of help, both practically and emotionally. Through the stories in this book, you'll come to see that women and men are still able to live their lives with metastatic breast cancer, however grim the prognosis may at first appear, and that while a cure may be remote, a recurrence does not mean the immediate death that people imagine. You'll learn that there is always hope for something. Holding Tight, Letting Go looks at the cycles of discovery', treatment, coping, and remission that happen as women's lives are extended by a variety of hormonal, surgical, and chemotherapy treatments. Women's experiences with stem cell transplants and complementary treatments are also discussed. Emotional coping and issues of loss, including death and dying, are explored. For people who face life-threatening illness, this is not a depressing subject . It is the reality they are living with everyday. Now in technical review, this book is receiving glowing reviews from the medical and breast cancer communities. Author Musa Mayer is a seasoned and effectivepromoter, with many TV, radio, and speaking appearances with her two previous books. We have assigned first serial rights to MAMM, a new 100,000 circulation publication on breast and uterine cancer, distributed through doctor offices and newsstands; Musa Mayer will also be a regular columnist.

 | Milk by Jane Heimlich, Robert Cohen
America's drug stores and supermarkets are stocked with remedies designed to counteract the adverse reactions brought about from consuming milk and dairy products. Pills for headaches, sprays for clogged nasal passages, decongestants and antihistamines to alleviate allergic symptoms line the shelves. According to author Robert Cohen, A sip of milk contains hundreds of different substances, each one having the potential to exert a powerful biological effect when taken independently of the others. Proteins and hormones, fat and cholesterol, pesticides with vitamin D added, viruses and bacteria (including bovine leukemia, bovine tuberculosis and cow immunodeficiency virus) all combine to produce a vast array of ailments in our society .
