Another successful Breast Cancer Awareness month draws to a close… 2009 saw a sea of pink ribbons practically everywhere you looked – shops, magazines, events etc etc. But the colour pink is an indication that this is female territory only. It’s not.
Male breast cancer, although much less common than female breast cancer, is poorly publicised and understood - perhaps for that reason it can go unnoticed until is has reached an advanced stage. Also, men may ignore symptoms, believing that only women can get breast cancer. Is comparatively rare, with less than 300 diagnosed cases per year in the UK. However, men should get any symptoms checked out right away.
