Hi Craig,
I am really sorry to hear of the loss and struggles you and your family have been through, especially with the added burden of carrying the BRCA gene.
We know that this year there will be around 125 Australian Men diagnosed and we try to support these men through our website and resources. I am not sure if you have come across the Male breast cancer page on our website ( http://www.bcna.org.au/about-breast-cancer/male-breast-cancer ) there is some useful information and links off to other resources that you might like to have a look at.
We are also launching a Male breast cancer Fact sheet over the coming weeks and are are in the process of trying to establish an online support group (though this online network) for men dignosed with breast cancer.
If you would like to be involved please let me know as I think it's really important that we share your experience. You can call us on 1800 500 258 or email policy@bcna.org.au.
