Did you know that men can get breast cancer too?

What can we do raise awareness for men who are also living with this disease?

  1. Yes! I shared the chemo journey with a man in his 40s or very early 50s. Fortunately, his treatment went very well, and he got to "ring the bell". I am very happy for him, his wife and kids. Meanwhile, I'm just had chemo treatment #66 today.

    1. Thank you for sharing! All the best, Kathy (Team member)

  2. My brother who is 51 had several benign tumors on his chest. He needs to keep them checked often. I have stage 4 mbc.

    1. , I'm glad that your brother got checked, and continues to monitor. How are you doing with your treatment plan? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  3. I am currently NEAD..no Evidence of Active Disease. So I'm doing well.
