A Little Embarrassing
Hi I'm Matt A male with breast cancer, I came across this site a couple of days ago, I've been reading a lot of blogs and has been very helpful wish I found this before I started my treatment :-), ...
Hi all
I do agree with a lot of things said here, @traveltext it doesn't matter for donation purposes about male or female just as long as people donate, its going to the same cause, I do agree with @Joannie comment it should be stated there is a high probability in men if they feel a lump or hardness around there breast it is cancer, in my case I felt something almost two years ago a little lump close to the nipple, I passed it off as a fatty tissue, over time it grew not that I noticed to much, about six months it became about a 6cm diameter hard lump around the nipple I passed it off as a infection, it will go away so I thought, to make it worse I did notice a lump in my underarm over a year ago so I thought it had to do with my shoulder reconstruction I had a few years ago, I never heard of lymph nodes before :-), I had physical two weeks before ii found out I had cancer, my results came back near perfect, the wife kept pushing me to see the doctor about the lump in my breast, finally I gave up thinking just go and get some antibiotics, but I ended up with a stage 3 boarding stage 4 invasive, aggressive and few other words they used spread to lymph nodes and what ever else, anyway may point is it should be drummed into men that if they feel something in their breast get it checked out asap, just like they do on commercials for women not just there is a chance that men can get cancer but its rare, that's my 2cents worth :-), sorry about the long rant had my 4th ac shot on Friday and normally I can't sleep for 2-3 days after it.. hehe, @Sister how's your toes, mine looks like the purple going away just the nails don't look the best, just wondering if any of you girls know of a product " nail polish" of some sort preferably clear and matt so not noticeable on a male that might protect them as I start the T treatment in a few weeks and that apparently effects your nails..... thanks
