Very concerned about 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!

Two factors in your favour are that you are young and male.
Men do get breast cancer, but only a tiny percentage of people diagnosed with it are men.
Young people can get it, yes, but 80% of people diagnosed with it are over 50. It is very unusual in women your age, never mind men.
Also breast cancer lumps are not usually painful; they can be – mine was – but most aren’t.
My best wishes for your tests on Thursday, I do hope it’s nothing serious.
