And remember, men get breast cancer too. My uncle died from it.

I hadn't either until last week. One of the new 'busters wives is recovering from this.
I was quite taken aback wondering the odds of this couple, in their late 20s, battling this and clusters, two rare diseases, at the same time.

She passed along this link:

Thanks for posting this,

Thanks for this ! It is sad but true Men do indeed have the threat of breast cancer, it is just unfortunate that the majority of men today don't even know about the possibility of having it.

Thanks for the link Bob. In this video (link that I posted), they called a few breast cancer treatment centers for info on Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), and they hadn't even heard of it.

I can tell you, I've had 2 symptoms of this, and am going to get it checked out this week. I'm at the age where I should be having mammograms yearly, but I don't. (I know, I know... but you don't know how hard it is for me to get off work during the day, and I'm at work longer than the damn doc's office is open, which brings me to question, why can't hospitals do more testing in the evening? But, I digress.) I do do self exams regularly.

Not stuff for this board, I know, or even this website, but it concerns all of us in one way or another.

My husband who works for an HMO made me aware of this info and link about a month ago. It is good to see it getting spread around so people are informed.
