Yes, definitely do! I don't think enough men are aware that they can get breast cancer. And I have read about doctors dismissing their male patients or misdiagnosing them... and then what occurs, is the cancer is found in a late stage. This time of year is the perfect time for people to help...
Comment 1Yes, definitely do! I don't think enough men are aware that they can get breast cancer. And I have read about doctors dismissing their male patients or misdiagnosing them... and then what occurs, is the cancer is found in a late stage. This time of year is the perfect time for people to help bring more awareness by writing an article for your local newspaper, congressman, etc.

I was advised yesterday that I have to back in 2 weeks for another surgery to remove more lymph nodes. Then chemo and/ or radiation. Very discouraging but i am glad I'm alive.

I could be pretty cranky about this but will give hubby the benefit of the doubt. Rest assured this is not something to be brushed aside and nothing serious, or not breast cancer. Just because it isn't using the term breast cancer doesn't mean it isn't. I hope you drag your man into your...
Comment 2I could be pretty cranky about this but will give hubby the benefit of the doubt. Rest assured this is not something to be brushed aside and nothing serious, or not breast cancer. Just because it isn't using the term breast cancer doesn't mean it isn't. I hope you drag your man into your ONCOLOGIST'S office and have him/her explain what you are dealing with. I am going to cut hubby a bit of slack because maybe this is how he is coping with such a shocking diagnosis. He can't face the fact you have breast cancer so to protect himself, he is down-playing this. You deserve all the support, understanding, love and assistance you can get right now. This is breast cancer for all intensive purposes. I am so sorry for you.... and your husband. Hang in there.... this board has a bunch of very empathetic, brilliant women here to support and understand exactly what's happening to you. Blessing and healing hugs.... take care, Sharon

What does it mean she they say the mass seems solid and does not have much blood flow?

It means pretty much just that. Usually cancers have blood flows because that is how they are nourished to grow. You NEED to contact your doctor for a definite meaning in your specific case. Take care, Sharon

Ask your doctors all of the questions you can think of. Write them down and take the list to your appt. if they don't answer them in a way you can understand or don't want to spend the time them get another doctor!

Cancer can be sneaky...have it checked out soon. I couldn't even feel my cancer and it was found on a mammogram. Keep us updated and prayers for you.

Absolutely have this checked. My breast where breast cancer was found felt "weird." This is NOT to say you have breast cancer at all. For your own peace of mind have this checked. Take care, Sharon
