Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yes, I'm the man here who is a BC survivor. I'm also a regular substitute teacher in our high school, so I'm pleased to help you. Male BC is the same as female BC, but we have a lower survival rate due to the lack of public awareness, and men's attitudes toward health care in general and this " female cancer " in particular. But if you have the body part, you can get the cancer. You can copy from my website anything that might be helpful. It is at http://onein100.tripod.com. Also try www.johnwnickfoundation.org. If you want more, just email me directly. I can give you many sources.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks very much for your help. I have to admit I didnt know there was such a thing til recently. My mom is the one fighting in now for over a yr. her older sister lost the battle, her younger sister had the fibrod?? whatever u call it, her dad died of lung cancer, her older sister of colon cancer. whats worse is the same younger sister might now have lung cancer she goes for a biopsy on monday. Any suggestions on getting the fresh outta high school attn? I'm in college and my class is really diverse in age range. Some are fresh outta high school and others are in their 40's and in between. The ones fresh outta high school are of course the immature ones of the class and cause a rutkus all the time. For instance they all decided to ditch the rest of class the last couple of wks to go home and watch american idol! what a waste! omg dont get me on a tangent lol. I wasn't sure how to approach this topic with them around without being too graphic. Lyn onein100@...> wrote: Yes, I'm the man here who is a BC survivor.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 wow lyn i just read your story to my mom. we are both impressed at how much you have overcome especially being kinda a " minority " with this disease. I did copy your story for a visual presentation to use as a testimony aid. people definitely need to hear your story and there will be about 30 people hearing it soon Lyn onein100@...> wrote: Yes, I'm the man here who is a BC survivor.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't know if there is a known cause of breast cancer. There seems to be at least three or more different kinds described by people on this website. Some of it is genetic, too. As far as cures and treatment, summarizing what you read here would be a good start. I will be giving a twenty minute or so presentation in April on my experience with breast cancer and the after effects. I am taking info from here and also the book I was given " Breast Cancer for Dummies " (yipe, there is such a book and a big help it is). Maybe using the the " Bald is better because...... " would be a great thing to add, too. A sense of humor keeps things in perspective. There is really no way to understand the good, the bad and the ugly of breast cancer unless you personally experience it. mystrylade mystrylade@...> wrote: i forgot to mention that some people in my class are young and fresh out of high school and are not very mature. any suggestions on how to do this informative speech for that area too. also if im not mistaken havent i seen a man on here with breast cancer?? if so i need your input for the male perspective and maybe that will get their attn too. thx for the help!
