Here are some men in our lives who have dealt with male breast cancer. Read their stories," MEN GET BREAST CANCER TOO"
REAL MEN GET BREAST CANCER!!
John W. Nick: At the age of 58 (in June 1991), John died of breast cancer. Six years before his death, he expressed concern for a problem on his right breast to a physician who told him not to worry about it. Two years later, another doctor told John not to worry, that it was "nothing." John never knew about male breast cancer, so he listened to his doctors and DID NOTHING. (Read John's Story)
Will Gallagher: On a beautiful Colorado morning I left for West Star Aviation, I hadn't slept very well the night before due to a dull pain on my right side. The pain was coming from the lump (cyst as 3 doctors had called it before. But I was in good spirits and I loved my new job so I was looking forward to my day. This starts my journey into male breast cancer. (Will's Story)
Robert Kaitz: It was funny the way we caught my breast cancer. I had a sore throat, so I went to the doctor. I had a list, you know, "By the way, I also have acid reflux..." and he gave me a fistful of prescriptions. Then I said, "Oh, yeah, I forgot, I have this lump."(Read more of Robert's story)
Also from Robert:"If I can reach one guy and have him get an early diagnosis, then I am a happy guy."
Mike Partain: I am 39 years old. I was diagnosed with male breast cancer on the same day as my eighteenth wedding anniversary. My diagnosis left me confused and troubled. I was at a loss to explain where or how I developed the disease. I do not drink nor do I smoke. Cancer of any kind is rare in my family. (Mike's Story)
Edward J. Wilson(with Nancy Nick at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium). MBC is not as rare as one would think. I have been fortunate and will attest that faith, family, and friends have been the cornerstone to my recovery. This is my case. Do not let it be yours. Early detection is the key! (E.J.'s Story)
Scott Wright:Thanks for the call doc. Sorry, didn't quite catch that. I've got what? Breast cancer? What?! Did you say BREAST cancer? Are you KIDDING me? So yeah, that's the deal. December 8, 2008 I'm minding my own lawyerly business on a late Monday morning, and I get the call with the news. (Scott's Story)
