I can fully relate to Barbara's story of the GPs response to that guy's lump ....
I've just learned that the husband of one of my uke players also went to his GP with a lump. The GP aspirated it and told him there was nothing to worry about. No biopsy was done and I do not believe other diagnostic treatments were done either, ie Ultrasound. He died from it 2 years later.
It would appear that some GPs are as ignorant of BC in men, as many of the men are. THIS needs to be addressed!!
