The First Cell

And the Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last

Azra Raza

The First Cell by Azra Raza delves into the current state of cancer and its impact on individuals, including the author herself. Through personal experience and medical expertise, Raza offers insight into how both medicine and society treat cancer and how we can do better. This book explores cancer from all angles - medical, scientific, cultural, and personal - and offers a lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again. With wisdom and grace, Raza tells a powerful story of one woman's experience as both an oncologist and a caregiver.
