Male Breast Cancer Awareness 

         June 25 - July 6, 2010

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

We really need your support. Visit our guestbook to see why our work is so important.

"I didn't know there was a site for men with breast cancer when I went onto one about breast cancer and joined in with the discussions. (I was told in no uncertain words to get off and go somewhere else.) Doctors need to be informed that there is an internet site for men with breast cancer where they can encourage their patients to visit."   

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. Two years later, another doctor told John not to worry, that it was "nothing." John never knew about male breast cancer, so he listened to his doctors and DID NOTHING. (Read John's Story)

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)
