Hopefully this increases awareness. I remember on the animated comedy show "archer" the lead character got breast cancer at one point. Largely dismissed as something that doesn't really happen but it does.

Cancer doesn't care about your gender.

    Yep, exactly. Men are still mammals, with mammary glands.

    I'm literally listening to a lecture for school right now about sex being a spectrum, actually! It's so interesting.

    I know a male doctor who died of it. It can happen to even the most conscientious.

    Looking forward to the day when cancer is a thing of the past.

    I believe AI is a powerful tool that will help get us there.

    As someone who has been involved with holistic care for years and grew up with “old remedies” passed down from generations before, I hope everyone does their best to stay proactive and educated.
    So many things we use daily have toxic substances in them. Lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, laundry soap, ALL THE FOOD….
    Most people, if not everyone, knows a little something of this already. There are things you can do to be proactive and preventive.
    I’ve been all natural and holistic for years and make most everything I use. I even have a business that teaches others how to do the same and I make all natural items etc. That’s not what I’m here to say tho.
    The important thing is doing your own research on how to be proactive and preventive.
    Switching to more natural products.
    Eat healthier (I know that’s a hot topic)
    Look at CANCER PREVENTION and killing HERBS (soursop, apricot kernels, castor oil) to name a few.
    I’m not a doctor by any means but I encourage everyone to learn something new and outside the box!
    PARASITE CLENSE at least once every 3-6 months especially if you eat meat. Other countries do this regularly as standard practice! Why aren’t we?
    HEAVY METAL DETOX

    I could go on and on because I love to share and get people thinking and hopefully learning something new.
    I am a healer by bloodline and teacher out of passion because everyone deserves to be living their best life having access to information that isn’t “traditionally” taught.

    CANCER SUCKS. End of my little informational rant.

    Thank you for bringing this to peoples' attention. Men certainly do get breast cancer, and even get mammograms to look for it. Please don't let ridiculous stigmas prevent anyone from talking to their health care provider if they suspect something is wrong.

    Peter Criss (founding KISS member and their original drummer) is a breast cancer survivor.
