Men make up 1% of breast cancer diagnosis.
You need to check too. Make sure you know your family history. If you have the genetic marker, you can pass it on too. Awareness isn't just for women. The men who do get dx'ed need the support and information too. There isn't much help for men with breast cancer in the way of online support groups. Spread the word. We care.

thanks you are right and I know this was some years back when i read about it but when men get it they really get it, it hides and tends to be too late by time it rears its ugly head
thanks Curious

you are very right frank. most men don't find the lump until it's very noticable.
 it takes just a minute to check. do it in the shower with a soapy chest and under your arms.. if you aren't sure how, have the lady in your life do it and show you how. plus, you guys need to be doing testicular exams too.  let's find a cure for all this!!!! |
