In our effort to heighten awareness about Breast cancer this morning I bring to a story about a husband and wife that were both diagnosed with breast cancer.
Yes, men get breast cancer.
The American Cancer Society estimates for breast cancer in men in the United States for 2015 are:
About 2,350 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed
About 440 men will die from breast cancer
Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years.
Their story is heart warming.

Scientists have created a new online calculator to help predict if you’ll develop breast cancer in the near future.
The calculator involves just six questions based on your age, ethnicity and race, family history of breast cancer, whether you’ve had a breast biopsy, and your breast density. It’s only applicable to women between the ages of 35 and 74, and takes about a minute to complete.
The calculator was tested using data from more than 1.1 million women, aged 35 to 74. The results were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The study determined that the calculator accurately estimates a woman’s risk for breast cancer by using her breast density information, as well as diagnoses of benign breast disease (non-cancerous disorders that can affect the breasts).
Below is the link to the article and this tool. This in no way should replace you getting regular exams from your doctor.
