Podcaster Ron Rappaport (It's a Wrap with Rap) was stopped in his tracks when he received the diagnosis. Breast cancer?!! But he was a guy. How could that be?
After Googling the matter, he found Male Breast Cancer Happens, founded by mom Peggy Miller with her son Bret Miller, who first found his lump at 17 and today is the youngest known male breast cancer survivor in the US.
You will learn:
* If a human has breasts, they can get breast cancer, regardless of gender.
* Because men aren't encouraged to do self-examinations or know that they can get breast cancer, they are often diagnosed too late to have positive outcomes.
* A combination of self-advocacy and group support can change the trajectory of the cancer journey.
