Catching Cancer Documentary

Chickenpants

There is a documentary from 2009 that was released through ABC/Passionate Eye called Catching Cancer.  It's about a group of 16 Australian women working in close proximity with one another, most of whom were young with no known risk factors and these women all got breast cancer.  I haven't seen it, only the trailer that is in Passionate Eye's website - the film is no longer available to view on line.  Can anyone direct me to where I could see it?  Perhaps it may be available to download?

Thanks.

Let me know if this is not sufficient and I will look for more.  I am in Australia so it may be easier for me to find as I am more familiar with the sites here and can even call the Australian Broadcasting Corporation if needed.

I think it is too, especially the fact that the mouse mammary virus that is found in women's breast cancer samples, but not in other parts of the women's body or the unaffected breast.  Here in North America, I believe the precentage of samples tested showed up to 40% of women to have this in their cancerous cells, much lower in Asia though.   The slot machine is what I always believed to be true about the "A"s lining up and a certain sequence of events must happen before BC is tripped.

This is a fascinating documentary.  Thank you so much for posting it.  I grew up around and on farms and was exposed to mice and their droppings for YEARS.  I can walk into my barn now and sweep in the feed and hay rooms ---- hello mice evidence everywhere.  I would certainly sign up for any vaccine trial pursuing this paradigm.  I think they are on to something with these viral clues and I do believe there is a link at least for certain patients.
