Unfortunately, we read very little about breast cancer in men.

What men think is a benign cyst or lump around the nipple and chest area can be malignant!!

I have tried, but all the womens cancer organizations will not include male breast cancer in any of their campaigns.

Why can't there be one sentence on the bottom of their advertisements, tv ads and campaigns?

Yes, it is rare, but it does exsists!!!!

Carole- That's a great point. While we know that breast cancer is more prevelant in women it does affect men too. There should be more awareness for men!

i be happy to post this article to Making Memories Breast Cancer foundation group. We have actually have granted the wish of a man with terminal breast cancer. But I still run across people who are stocked that a man can get breast cancer, much more still needs to be done
