Male Breast Cancer
What is male breast cancer?
Men possess a small amount of nonfunctioning breast tissue (breast tissue that cannot produce milk) that is concentrated in the area directly behind the nipple on the chest wall. Like breast cancer in women, cancer of the male breast is the uncontrolled growth of the abnormal cells of this breast tissue.
Breast tissue in both young boys and girls consists of tubular structures known as ducts. At puberty, a girl's ovaries produce female hormones (estrogen) that cause the ducts to grow and milk glands (lobules) to develop at the ends of the ducts. The amount of fat and connective tissue in the breast also increases as girls .....
Yup agreed. Mum was like that. Ignoring the cyst till it developed to tumor and then cancer. She was 50 then. I remember asking her to go for check up when she was 40. It could have saved her. Anyway, her death taught us to be cautious on our bodies. Have been spreading this message among my friends constantly too. For the past few years and now, many of my friends or someone I knew had breast cancer. They are all in their late 30s or early 40s. Some had passed on.
errr.....are you a mdm?
The problem why many still die from cancer today is, they always believe that it will not happen to them. So they do not even bother to go for a check up even when they feel something is not right and just brush it off as something that will go away with time... Until it is too late... I say this from experience, because I am one such "idiot", although I was more blessed than some to be alive today and typing on the keyboard...
