Yes, it is true. It’s not that common, though. I know men have mammograms, too, if they are suspected of breast cancer.

My husband died of male breast cancer last year. We have started a global campaign to educate men to the reality of the disease and establish the 3rd week of October as Male Breast Cancer Awareness Week.

Yes, it is true, and Yes, men do have mastectomies also. It is not as common as women with breast cancer, but it can happen.
