Mens Breast Cancer

Pauline,
We have just started with a Facebook page.
The Mens Breast Cancer Forum.
Just completed an interview with Quest Newspapers. Can find interview on our FB page. 
Been on FB for around three weeks and have had likes in every state and also NZ and Tonga so far.

Hi @PeterB and @traveltext, I was just wondering if you use this forum much. I’m interested in the male perspective on the very pink world this forum can be. Would love to see a blue page, blokes shed style. I know this is a gender stereotype, but you should set up your own group on here, as well as part of the more general community. Sorry, just noticed that you have your Facebook one set up. 

I’m at the stage where i’m not sure I have much to offer in this space and I need to return to the big wide world to seek the normality I strive for. This forum is a bit of pontoon on the journey of cancer. It’s ok to rest for a while, but you have to keep on your journey. All the best with everything. I look forward to a more inclusive forum. The people on here are wonderful and have supported me through some tough times. x 

Hi Peter, Welcome to the forum. 

Hi @PeterB
I'm on the policy team here at BCNA. We have a number of men diagnosed with breast cancer who are active in our membership and I have reached out to see if they are interested in making contact. Two of our men are active on the online network from time to time - @"Chester80$$" and @traveltext
In 2016, we carried out a consultation with a group of men diagnosed with breast cancer. The aim was to better understand what BCNA and other can do to better meet the needs of men facing a breast cancer diagnosis. A copy of the full report and executive summary of this project can be found here. 
This year, on October 20th, we are launching Australia's first male breast cancer awareness day, with stories from men on our social media and local news. If you are interested in sharing your story with local media, we are looking for men currently in QLD, WA and Tasmania. Opportunities for a media spot will depend on the level of interest and availability of local media (radio, television).
Be sure to visit our website, Facebook page and Twitter feed on October 20th for the awareness day!
If you have any questions or queries please also feel free to private message me here. I am providing ongoing outreach and support for male breast cancer projects and member enquiries.

Warm regards
Pauline McLoughlin
Senior Policy Officer
