- traveltextMemberThat's dreadful news @arpieI'm just writing an article on the paucity of research on bc men and, unfortunately, Ive discovered their prognosis is around 20 percent worse than that for women in all Stages of the disease. This is often because of late diagnosis, which is due to the lack of community awareness that the disease is genderless. If men or their doctors aren't reinforced to be on the lookout for symptoms, what hope is there for an early diagnosis?Each October I ask @BCNA to put a spot of blue on their logo to help get the message out. While they have improved the information and on this website, and generously made promotions with men in their promos, I really want them to go this step further.
- arpieMemberWell done @traveltext ... as you say, knowledge is power.
Sadly one of my uke lady's husband was misdiagnosed and by the time he was correctly diagnosed as BC, sadly, he passed away a year later :( - Cath62MemberIt's a great interview @traveltext. You are really doing a great job highlighting bc in men. Congratulations
- June1952MemberCongratulations Rod ( @traveltext ) on another great interview highlighting the need for more awareness of breast cancer in men. You guys have it so much harder than us women, we are expected to get it where you have to fight for any form of investigation. Hopefully the interview will be picked up by media here.
- Cath62MemberThanks for sharing @traveltext. Shall check it out.
