Chasing the Cancer Answer is an investigative documentary that provides revealing interviews with an outspoken American doctor, frustrated cancer victims in southern Ontario, pharmaceutical sales representatives in Paris, France, and activists working to increase awareness of prevention measures, airs Sunday, March 5, at 7:00 pm on CBC television in Canada.
Wendy Mesley, co-host of CBC's Marketplace and breast cancer survivor, investigates why cancer is one of Canada's fastest growing medical problems, and asks hard questions as to why, when the rate of cancer in the 1950's was 1 person out of 10, today, it is predicted that cancer will strike 1 person out for every two people. Mesley is angry at a medical system that focuses on lifestyle prevention programs that seem to blame the person for their cancer.
What Mesley discovers during her investigation promises to be shocking. If you live in Canada, or can get the CBC channel through satellite dish programming, this looks to be a good show. From the promos and brief interviews I have read about Chasing the Cancer Answer, she is outspoken and takes no prisoners. For those who are interested and will not be able to view the documentary, I will provide a follow-up to this post with a summary of Chasing the Cancer Answer.
