One Man's Journey Through Breast Cancer
Hello Online Network community, This has recently been added to My Journey and we will be sharing the below in our next Friday Update, however a dedicated post may be helpful for you to share with any men in your life impacted by breast cancer. One Man's Journey Through Breast Cancer - Ron Gordon Following a diagnosis of breast cancer, Ron Gordon used photography to tell his experience of male breast cancer. He held an exhibition of his work in 2014 and followed with up with a publication of his photography in a book. Ron has very kindly donated an updated PDF version of his book, as a gift for men diagnosed with breast cancer.

Hi all, Today BCNA is shining a light on men living with breast cancer in Australia to help raise awareness.
