Male Breast Cancer

Jon asked:


Hey there everyone, I am a 24yr old male who about 6 weeks ago noticed a small lump under my right nipple. It is usually tender to the touch, except oddly enough, after I get out of the shower. I have an ultrasound and mammogram this Thursday but I am very worried. This may sound wierd, and may or may not have anything to do with this, but my wife bit my nipple a bit too hard around the same time this lump showed up. The lump is not always easily felt, sometimes it feels harder and sometimes softer. My mother had me speak to one of her friends’ husbands that had breast cancer and he pretty much said, 99% it WILL be cancer just prepare yourself. That scared me a lot as well. I haven’t had any male breast cancer in my family, although I recently lost my Grandfather to gallbladder cancer. I’m just so worried about this. Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Ok. So my cousin (female and adult) just got diagnosed with breast cancer. So I asked if guys can get it too. They said they could. So I checked and there is like this lump in my “breast” I guess. Its right under my nipple. Does it have to be cancer? I’m scared to tell my parents because they’d wanna feel it. Help.
I’m only 12. I’m very scared so please answer. I’m embaresed cuz im a guy Could it be anything else but cancer?

Robert S asked:


I have a biopsy of my breast tissue out, and I was wondering – how common is male breast cancer, and are the statistical odds of survival better, worse, or the same?

lost boy asked:


Last night, I was massaging my chest then I found out, there’s some sort of a bump near my breast. It’s not really “bumpy” – it’s flat. You can only feel it if you press it. If you press it, you can feel that there’s some sort of a “pimple” inside.. It only hurts if you press it.

Is this cancer??? I’m 18 yo male, no family history of cancer

Will S asked:


I have a strange bump under my right nipple and had been there for 3-5 months. What should I do? I have heard about cancer and males and am having some scary thoughts. Right now I am literally shaking and cannot stop. Some one please help. And what else do you know about it?

CommanderCrusty asked:


I have a suspicious lump under one nipple and my doctor is sending me for a mammogram. I’d like to hear from other men who have been through this. Also, if it is “breast” cancer, what should I expect? I did seek treatment within one week of finding the lump. I do not have a skin rash or discharge from the nipple. I am age 48, normal body weight, and no I don’t have “man boobs” or smoke.

PS
Let’s keep the jokes to a minimum, please.
