Oh Man.. You can get breast cancer too!


Well, at least that's what this articles is saying.



Some important points..
  1. Only a tiny fraction of breast cancers diagnosed — less than 1% — occur in men.

  2. Perhaps the surest risk factor — in both women and men — is family history.

  3. Survival rates for men and women are similar, but men are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. That's probably because women undergo regular screening.


hmmm.. gotta get in touch with my OWN breasts more now..
