""Cancer is about mutated genes,, as is life's diversity. You couldn't have evolution without the ability of genes to be robust and mutable. It's entwined with how human life works. Dad might have died from it, but there was little that could have prevented that and his life probably couldn't have been extended. Death and life are part of the same thing."

MONKEYS, RATS and ME won the 2007 Grierson Award for the Best Science Documentary .I wrote ONE IN THREE : a son's journey into the history and science of cancer. It was nominated for the Royal Society Book Prize. Read the Book's Introduction
I started it because my dad fell ill with cancer, and I wanted a book which answered some of my basic questions: how did he get it, would he be healed and why was there no cure?
"An amazing book" says Professor Karol Sikora. "Riveting" says David Lodge

"An important story and as absorbing as a well crafted thriller." The Financial Times Other reviews.
