Not a woman’s disease

A RECENT Fit4Life article on breast cancer in men (My breast tumours, Health at Large, Oct 11) caught my interest – and, I’m sure, the interest of many others who think that it only affects women.

I wish to share the story of male breast cancer survivor Peter Criss, formerly of the band Kiss.

I first heard the rock ‘n’ roll drummer’s story through the Kiss Army Facebook alerts. Recently, CNN broadcast an interview with him on the subject (kissarmynews.blogspot.com/2009/10/peter-criss-talks-breast-cancer.html).

Criss discovered a lump in his left nipple in December 2007. In a Reuters article featured during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the United States, Criss said men needed to get over their perception that breast cancer is a woman’s disease.

“It can happen to you, and when it does, if you don’t deal with it right away, with your ‘dude’ and your metal and your tattoos, you’ll go in the box and we’ll see you.”

True. Here’s a reminder for “macho men” out there: You’re not invincible, and breast cancer isn’t just a chick thing.
