There isn’t another color for male breast cancer because breast cancer is breast cancer whether it is in a man or a woman. This question is like asking why there aren’t two different colors for supporting our male and female troops.

My husband and I designed a pink and blue ribbon when he was diagnosed with male breast cancer in 2005. And yes, he did care that the ribbon was pink.
