What a week it has been.

Thanks for the reply Anne-Marie, and sorry for mixing up the groups.

A fellow male BC patient is making a submission to BCNA requesting that you consider following NCBF's example. The BCNA site really is not very conducive to male participation, especially with the default avatar defaulting to a female silhouette.

Hi Traveltext,

Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing this article with the network.

Although this is a really worthwhile article highlighting the importance of acknowledging men diagnosed with breast cancer, the article is in fact referring to National Breast Cancer Foundation (who are represented by the pink ribbon) changing their logo not BCNA. However, as the article discusses toward the end, here at BCNA we absolutely agree that men need to be acknowledged and supported, and are working to ensure their needs are also met.

Thanks again for getting in touch!

Good news. BCNA is considering placing a blue dot on their ribbon.

By making men and their health practitioners aware to be on the lookout for signs of the disease, men will be treated in a timely manner and have their survival chances improved.
