Hi Knoxy ..... It is so nice to hear that you are a survivor of BC.  Yes you are in the minority but it is great that you have posted here and are making other guys aware that BC can happen to men too. A male friend of mine also had this disease but sadly he did not tell anyone or seek help until very late on in his illness and did not survive it - that is why I admire people like you who can overcome their embarrassment and spread the word and raise awareness.

I have stage 4 BC so understand the treatment you went through and how nerve-wracking the check-ups are. I took Tamoxifen for 5yrs - is this the same for males?  I was also given a 3monthly bloodtest via my GP called a CA15-3 test which is basically a cancer-count screening. If the levels rise above 30 it may indicate disease spread and that is how I discovered that I had secondary disease - please ask your GP if you would benefit from this test as it is something I have found that not many people are aware of.

All the very best to you Knoxy and keep spreading the word - it could save another person's life.
