Hopefully Cousin Danny will get this scare "off his chest" with a swift procedure, he was lucky enough to have some symptoms that caused the medical staff to suggest a full-body MRI very early on. Somehow he has some growths in his cheeks as well, which I don't really understand... but that's ok. Important thing is he's in good shape. Hopefully we'll get some good video footage of his recovery process and post it on our blog so everyone can share their support. We'll letcha know!

Fred, I also want to thank you for pointing out the survival rate is lower in men compared with women. It's up to all of us to raise awareness. The more aware people become, the less dangerous cancer becomes. Do you agree? Thanks for sharing that statistic, Kristen!

It’s up to all of us to raise awareness. The more aware people become, the less dangerous cancer becomes.

Do you agree?

It’s important to know that the survival rate is lower in men compared with women because male breast cancer is usually diagnosed at more advanced stages. We men are not programmed to think about the possibility of having breast cancer. Therefore, it is important to educate the male population to do a BSE and ask your doctor for a breast exam. As women already know, early detection is the key to survival and education is the key to early detection. Fred Thanks for the article alerting men and women that men too can get breast cancer.
