Male breast cancer [View All]

[meegbear]

I was out the other night at a bar I frequent when I see one of my friends I've been trying to reach. I went over to him and he was visibly depressed. I said hello and mentioned how I've been tyring to reach him and asked if everything was alright. His mom's health in the past few months has been declining, so I figured that was it. He said no and leaned forward and said to me "I have breast cancer".

My jaw dropped and he nodded. I had a sister who died of breast cancer at 38, so there is a sort of connect there. He's 43. We chatted about it for a couple minutes then said "Anything I can do, please let me know."

Has anyone had experience with this? I've looked online and got some info, while being very rare, but there is a "stigma" when men get this. I wanna help anyway I can.
