Male Breast Cancer Awareness 

         April 2 - 12, 2010

Proceeds  go to John W. Nick Foundation, Inc.  to support our outreach program for Male Breast Cancer Awareness.

We really need your support. A very important conference in Washington DC will be attended by our Foundation president in May -- but only if we have the funds to go. Can you help?

Recently, your support has allowed us to revamp and relaunch our website (www.malebreastcancer.org). We will now have a "Forum" where men and their friends and families can talk to others about their concerns about male breast cancer.Thank you for making this possible.

Please , tell your friends, family, and community ~~ and let the bidding begin! Have fun knowing you are getting a great deal and helping a great cause.

REAL MEN GET BREAST CANCER!!

Here are some men in our lives who have or have dealt with male breast cancer. Read their stories.

John W. Nick: At the age of 58 (in June 1991), John (father of six children) died of breast cancer. Six years before his death, he expressed concern for a problem on his right breast to a physician who told him not to worry about it.

Theron Bell: Shortly before my 45th birthday, in June 1976, I discovered a lump in my right breast. My wife Sonya urged me to have it examined. The doctor told me it was a cyst and not to worry. The lump grew and became more painful so Sonya insisted that I get a second opinion which resulted in the following: (Theron's Story)

Robert Kaitz: It was funny the way we caught my breast cancer. I had a sore throat, so I went to the doctor. I had a list, you know, "By the way, I also have acid reflux..." and he gave me a fistful of prescriptions. Then I said, "Oh, yeah, I forgot, I have this lump." (Read more of Robert's story)

Edward J. Wilson (with Nancy Nick at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium). MBC is not as rare as one would think. I have been fortunate and will attest that faith, family, and friends have been the cornerstone to my recovery. This is my case. Do not let it be yours. Early detection is the key! (E.J.'s Story)
