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?
