Cancer Sucks!
Any way you look at it, cancer is a devastating diagnosis. It becomes even
more so when you are diagnosed with a form of cancer that you never even
knew was a remote possibility for a man. I'm referring to Male Breast
Cancer. Go ahead, ask a man in your life. I'd venture to say that 90-95% of
them will tell you there's no such thing, breast cancer is a woman's disease.
That was the overwhelming response I received when I started talking about
my husband's diagnosis.

Approximately 1990 men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in 2008. Approximately 450 men in the US will die from the disease.
For every 100 women with breast cancer, 1 man will develop the disease.
