Re: So Male breast cancer fear
I’ll be honest I’ve seen 5 doctors and all had a feel around and said “nothing that concerns me” - I personally requested a breast clinic visit as the first person I saw 6wks ago said I should if it didn’t clear up and it hasn’t. Seeing 5 docs may seem OTT but as a man I felt that it might be overlooked and brushed off with lotions and potions, it kind of was - it’s clearly not normal and the professional level of concern has elevated..... but it could be some weird “thing” that just happens and one day it will go.
Everyone with HA (I think) probably knows in the back of their mind that the headache, back pain, mouth ulcer isn’t anything to worry about but our minds go into to hyper illness mode. Usually these weird symptoms we get come and go but sometimes you know when something genuinely isn’t right.
Most blokes wouldn’t even think about breast cancer but you guys definitely should check yourselves out as much as woman do, especially if something isn’t “normal” for you. Men might be at 1% risk of BC but that doesn’t mean it’s 0%.
That said, the chances of being hit by a bus is far greater!!
Edit: it’s a mammogram I’m getting.
