“You guys, mammograms are weird.”
So there’s no questioning that breast cancer is primarily a “woman’s disease.” But it’s doing a disservice to men when we frame it that way.I found my breast cancer in the way many people do, by feeling a lump in my pec .. I wasn’t exactly doing regular breast self-exams at the time. I didn’t have any other symptoms but she was concerned enough that I decided to see a doctor just to rule out anything scary.
I don’t think they were used to getting many men in the office where I went for my mammogram. I remember watching the women go back to change into medical gowns—but no one told me what I was supposed to do.The results came back quickly and something didn’t look right. They recommended I come back in for a biopsy but I’d just started a six-week fitness bootcamp challenge and I was determined to win it. The biopsy would mean missing a few workouts and I didn’t want to do that.
This also was not my first medical scare. I had open heart surgery at the age of 19 to remove a tumor. But this felt different. I had heard about it being possible for men to get breast cancer but. I was a 33-year-old man in good health and no one in my family—male or female—had a history of breast cancer. I was the first and only one.
My daughter is 2 years old now and every time I look at her I’m reminded of how blessed I am not just to be her dad, but to be around to watch her grow up.
