Subsequent Chemotherapy treatments incurred followed up by Genetic testing, Tamoxifen Therapy and precautionary MRI's and Mammograms Three weeks later I had a complete mastectomy of my left breast.

Even though my younger sister had lived with Breast Cancer and three recurrences of it and had been genetically diagnosed as BRCA 2 positive, I was still shocked that I, a 54 year old male, could contract this disease. In October of 2008 and after ignoring some basic signs and symptoms for about 4 months, I was officially diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We have 5 children between us and ALL ARE BOYS! Because each of our son's has a 50/50 chance of also being BRCA2 Positive, our goals are to create a life where this disease does not exist or can be easily managed or personally avoided by their day to day lifestyle. Breast cancer has affected our Aunt who was diagnosed in 1988, our mother in 1995 and then 1 month later in 1995, Vicki was diagnosed with the first of 4 bouts over a twenty two year span. Our family history has been affected by several different types of cancer over the years. We are a brother and sister who have both been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. HistoryĬreated in 2009 because we found it difficult to obtain information specific to Breast Cancer in Men even though several other female and immediate family members have lived with and dealt with Breast Cancer. Through our efforts we hope to increase all studies and trials to include men for Diagnostics, Hormonal, Immunotherapy and Genetics, gaining a true understanding of how this disease progresses in men, how it conflicts with that of a woman, and the best course of treatment. Our mission is to increase awareness and hence the early detection for all men and to help those who are at high risk due to genetics and other risk factors to gain access to regular screenings.
