​A friend and former Naval Colleague has informed me about your article giving cancer figures. He informs me that under the heading "Breast Cancer Men" it has NOT APPLICABLE.



Well here are a few facts for you. Each year 400 MEN are diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.K. in the Netherlands that is 100 in America 2300. While the mortality rate for women is 19% the mortality rate for men is 25%.
Why? It's easy to detect in men and easier to treat in men. Simple because the media have feminised the disease. treating it like cervical cancer men don't think they can get breast cancer. You among others, cancer organisations and charities. have made it a gender disease. it is'nt! For that reason most men present in the late 3 or too late stage 4. of breast cancer. Yes this mis-information you are spreading is killing men. That's some ones husband father or grandfathers
How do I know? Because I was diagnosed with breast cancer march 2012. Late stage 3. I have been fighting this deadly ignorance ever since.
I have written a book. The Pink Unicorns of Male Breast Cancer. About my experiences which will be released on the 29th of this month. I suggest you read it. You can also take a good look at the photo. Thats' what male breast cancer looks like. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. So where does your NOT APPLICABLE come in.? Men have breasts too.

    Somewhere around February 24th 2012 I was laying half-awake in my bed. My left nipple was itching. Sleepily I gently scratched it and felt a small hard lump just above the nipple. The lump was quite firm but painless. Although very curious I went back to sleep. I didn’t know then that Itching and dry flaky skin around the areola are some of the early signs of breast cancer in men.

    One of the first paragraphs from my newly published book in October 2016. Follow my blog for more information about the release.

    ​Vertaling in het Nederlands​
    Het was ergens rondom 24 februari 2012. Ik lag half slapend in mijn bed. Mijn linker tepel jeukte. Nog slaperig, wreef ik zachtjes. Ik voelde een kleine harde knobbel die pijnloos was net boven de tepel. Ik was nieuwsgierig maar viel toch weer in slaap. Ik wist nog niet dat jeuk en droge huid vroege symptomen zijn van mannelijke borst kanker.

    ​Hiermee begint het Engelstalige boek Pink Unicorns of male breast cancer dat oktober 2016 zal verschijnen. Volg mijn blog voor meer informatie over de verschijning van mijn boek.
