Are you a male diagnosed with Breast Cancer on the online forum
Are you a male diagnosed with Breast Cancer on the online forum? Do you need or want a specific group within the forum to be able to discuss male related issues from your diagnosis or treatment?...
@"Soldier Crab", you are such a thoughtful person.
We do have a couple of men in the online network and perhaps we have more men quietly reading. In the past, we did have an online network group for men diagnosed with breast cancer, but it was not active, for a number of reasons that we understand.
We are always looking for ways to improve our support for men. We definitely considered how men respond to the "ocean of pink" when we were looking at designing this version of the forum. @Pauline_BCNA has done a lot of work in this space and consulted with some of the men in our community. As a result, we have made changes to the information we send to men diagnosed with breast cancer and we actively look for ways to be more inclusive of men. For example, you might have seen @"Chester80$$" in our videos, like this one:

While there's been slight interest in the idea of an online network group for men diagnosed, there isn't anyone available to lead it. However, if that changes, then we're definitely open to creating one.
