2100 men will get breast cancer this year. 450 will die. Isn't it time ALL breast cancer sites let people know this. Fathers with breast cancer can pass it on to their daughters. Why is it breast cancer sites only care about the women? I lost my husband Brock 3 years ago to breast cancer and since that time I have tired my best to get this fact out. When Brock died it was only 1,600 men would get breast cancer and 400 would die. What is it going to take for breast cancer sites to start letting people know about breast cancer in men? Just one sentence that people can click on to get more information that is all it would take
"MEN GET BREAST CANCER,TOO.
It isn't a woman's disease anymore..

Hello Kriss,
You're right -- breast cancer is not just a women's disease. Male breast cancer, although rare, does indeed occur and we need to be more aware of and open about it. See:

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront for us. I think we could learn a lot from your experience. Write again soon.
