- Great write up, @traveltext. How totally unfair tho, that your daughter can access high risk screening, but not your son. That is a terrible injustice. :(
I hope this is rectified quickly. How many other cancers have 'gender inequality'?
When I read of cancer treatment/protocols - it is usually for lung cancer, or stomach cancer - not 'female lung cancer' vs 'male lung cancer'?
Granted, way less men are diagnosed with BC than women - but the process is the same - and therefore, the protocol should be fully inclusive of both men AND women! - Awesome! I hope it does well :smile:
- Oh Joannie, that's such a nice offer.Unfortunately, there's no charity in Australia dealing just with male bc, so no t-shirts or pins to wear.
As to booklets, BCNA has one on male breast cancer and they can be ordered here:https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/resources/order-bcna-resources/
Donations could be made to any of the pink charities with the request that they be used for research on male bc, but I doubt that any would agree to this because they fund virtually no research on this topic.
Anyway, thanks again for your offer, and good luck with your event. Cheers, Rod - I'm hoping BCNA will get the message out about men this year.Meanwhile, I'm doing my bit locally.
