I know that we are few and far between (only 300 diagnosed a year) .
I am hoping to raise awareness of BC in men. I am writing a Blog to start with http://dougeharper.wordpress.com/
Of course it is not all about the men. Women have a much tougher time with their Masectomies and it is nice to support each other

barbaral - I'm sorry, I don't understand your posting. A man with breast cancer has appealed on a specialist cancer site to contact other men with the same diagnosis... so what is wrong?

Hi Doug, I hope that you are doing well. There were two men last year, though I'm afraid I can't remember their online names.
A few men have posted in these past couple of years, I’ll try to dredge up names from my hopeless memory - I blame Anastrozole! Good that you’re still posting Doug E, it’s hope for us al when people stick around so long!! And definitely good to keep a male presence as there are so few of you. 1212 springs to mind, but I can’t seem to call up their profile to check - thibk I’ll have to post this then go back to check.... anyway welcome back Doug E! Xx
Thanks all
A lot has changed since I was last on here . I am involved in the first Male Breast Cancer Visual Meet Up in Europe . Men who have had/have breast cancer get together on zoom once a month to chat . So far we have about 23 chaps involved and I just wondered if there were any more on here that may have missed the info about .
It can be very emotional meet other men who have had/had . Up until a few months ago I had only met two other men with the same
Keep on keeping on brothers and sisters xx
