Gutted - 2 of my sons, under the age of 35, have been diagnosed with male breast cancer

I have 3 sons, 2 have been diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early age under 35 years. As a mum I feel gutted as one is married with a two year old. I myself do not have cancer and there was no indication of breast cancer in our family. Totally worried that he will not see his child grow up. I'm tearful on and off and anxiously awaiting his operation.

  • I'm very sorry to hear two of your sons have been diagnosed with male breast cancer at such a young age Lorrchap.

    This must be a very difficult time, but our community are here for you, and hopefully some of our members will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    If you would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    I'm not sure from your post when the operation is, but I want to wish your son the very best of luck. We'll be thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed it is a success.

    Kind regards,
