Just to share the sad news that my husband who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 1999 had 8 months of chemo every week for 8 months before his masectomy and finished his radiotherapy treatment on Christmas Eve 1999 had a wonderful 13 years cancer free, then in May of this year was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer all the way down his spine, and managed to break C2 & C3 so was wearing a Miami J neck brace, passed away on the last night of our wonderful holiday in Cornwall on Thursday 18th July 2013.
Mike was one of the early men with Breast cancer and was a regular on the forums here,he also took part in the BCC fashion show being the only man with 22 lady survivors, he also did several newspaper and tv interviews to try to raise the awareness of this and the importance of men checking themselvesd, over the years the numbers seem to have increased. Good luck to you all and enjoy every day you can.
