I was first diagnosed in 2008, with a recurrence in 2018, and I have been amazed by the number of people I have spoken to who don’t realize the fact it exists.
Published: Apr. 29, 2024, 12:00 p.m.DEAR ABBY: While you occasionally print letters related to breast cancer, I don’t recall seeing any related to male breast cancer. I am a male breast cancer survivor. Granted, breast cancer affects far fewer men than women, but it is serious, nonetheless.
DEAR SURVIVOR: I certainly do. Male breast cancer is rare, but it does happen. Some famous men who revealed they’d had breast cancer are television host Montel Williams, Peter Criss of the rock group Kiss, Richard Roundtree, the original “Shaft,” and Sen. Edward Brooks . Thank you to all of them for speaking out. Any man who knows there is a history of breast cancer in the family should mention this to his physician and take their cue from their doctor.
