Breast cancer seem more well publicize to general public in particular in well developed countries which I think is great along with HIV aids as the rates of women dying from Breast cancer is alarming.

However dont you think its sort of leaving out the men?

If men are to be encouraged to see the doctors ( which at times they dont), wouldn’t it be nice if there was a national awareness week or day on certain cancers that affect and kill a lot of men such as prostate cancer?

We hear of the pink Ribbon Campaign (in Australia) and you see university’s, our harbour bridge and Oprea house lighting their lights pink for beast cancer awareness….and there’s much more.

We never see anything on this scale where there is an awareness for cancer that men suffer such as prostate or Testicular cancer which in effect sends that message out that men should suffer in silence rather than being encouraged to seek help.

So are male related cancers discriminated against in terms of the lack of awareness and support by the general public?

Some studies find that Cancer affects more men than women. So is the support disproportional?

Black Knight asked:


Before I ask the question, I am going to see a doctor this week.

I was just wondering, is it possible that I have (male) breast cancer? I had this lump under my chest for a little over a month, and it has gotten a little bigger ever since.

The reason why I didn’t goto a doctor when I first got it is because I usually get lumps round my chest but it always went after a few days.

I have a male friend who’s wife is going through kemo. He barely stays home and always find things to do outside to keep him away from the house. I guess this is his way of dealing with the situation
Did I mention he is a minister?

RandomArtist asked:


One day while I was laying down, I felt like there was a slight itch near my nipple. While I was scratching I felt something hard. Something was hard and covering a small area of my nipple. Is it male breast cancer or something else?
If it is something else, what is it then?

don e asked:


I was diagnosed several years ago with male breast cancer. 2% of the population gets it from what i have been told. I am wondering if there has been any studies linking the fact that I am gay with this disease or the increase of its occurrance. TIA.

asked:


I’m a male and have these breasts for probably 5yrs now. My breasts get puffy, and when attention is put to them (touched) they get hard and wrinkley. I’m pretty overweight and am terrified of this! i was told (not by a docter) that it was part of puberty a few years back. i’m now 18 and worried that it may be serious. I’m worried that if it is breast cancer… is it too late? i’ve been freaking out and panicing latley about this. Can u feel the glands under the nipple? I’ve looked up gynocomastia and some of the pictures look a bit simular when mine are “puffy”. but i cant find any pictures of any that are hard and wrinkled (like ur fingers when out of a bath). My breasts are a bit tender and hurt if i get hit there etc…is that normal? i’m so scared! i goto the doctor tomorrow and will ask but i’m terrified if it’s breast cancer….is it to late after 5ish years?
