♂️ Today is men's breast cancer awareness day 👬

1 in 556 men are diagnosed with breast cancer—in 2023 Paul became one of them. 

After finding a lump under his left armpit, Paul decided to see his doctor about it and was later diagnosed with breast cancer.  A former professional basketballer in the States and in Australia, Paul says at the time he was in excellent shape, living a full life, and his youngest son was just six months old. 

"The news of a cancer diagnosis for me was loaded with overwhelming doses of shock and fear. Being a man with breast cancer, I felt a touch of shame and embarrassment.” Says Paul 

Share this post with your friends to remind them to know their normal so they can spot when something isn’t, because anyone can get breast cancer.
