YOU never really hear much about it...! My father (died in car accident 32 yrs ago) had lumb in chest-right at nipple-HE THOUGHT FOR sure breast cancer-had surgery etc. IT was not but killed shorly after in accident. But while he was in for surgery he hand wrote will and had it notarized thinking cancer and he was going to die! so look how far things have come-we have all gone through so much & have made it. But long ago (at least he thought) the worst-to make up will same day as surgery.

NOT sure if what I am trying to say makes any sense to anyone..

    So sorry about your Dad
    So sorry about your Dad disneyfan. There have been a couple of men on here with breast cancer, but, I haven't seen them post for a long time.


    Hugs to you,

    I know 2 men
    who have had mastectomies for breast cancer. The last statistic I saw was 1 in 100 for men with BC. Very rarely spoken about which is too bad, men need to be more aware of BC.
    Sorry about your dad. My dad died 43 years ago and I still miss him!
    Hugs,
    JoAnn
