Six Men: We got breast cancer too: Six survivors are brought together by a charity to raise awareness that men are also at risk of the disease

Had a male co-worker that lost tissue to breast cancer, so yes it does happen to people you know.

Yes, it does happen to men and unfortunately, men are often diagnosed at later stages b/c of avoiding the doctor (typical male, haha!). But seriously, if you want to know more, we published a somewhat comprehensive article on it here: http://imtakingcharge.com/men-and-breast-cancer/.

While women usually have free diagnosis for breast cancer, men usually don't...

Huh, TIL men can get breast cancer. Public schooling never taught me that.

A male coworker of mine had breast cancer in both breasts. I had a non-cancerous mass in one breast. These are things that don't get talked about much, but they're common enough. But all the ribbons are pink.
