We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet - a few innovations notwithstanding - a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was 50 years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost. In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must.

When my mother was diagnosed with inflammatory Breast cancer in March of 2019 the rugged was pulled out from underneath me. That first appointment stung. The diagnosis left me with knots in my stomach. I knew based on the size, the time that had past from my moms original discovery of the mass, to it’s leaking from her breast that she was not in for a battle but slow churn toward death. I wish I had Raza’s book during my long walk alongside my mother. This boon would have provided great perspective and understanding throughout the process. My mother passed away eighteen months later. The first cell has given great comfort to know that i did what any daughter or friend would have done: I listened, fought for and with, and held her hand until the end. I could do nothing more.
