I Was Just One Of The Girls
In four days we will know if I have breast cancer or not. I want to thank my loving wife Theresa for being so patient and understanding. On the 29th of August we will celebrate our 46th Wedding Anniversary.
I had been handed a sheet of instructions the week before about my Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy and instruction number four stated that after the procedure, I was to wear a well- fitting, supportive bra and carefully adhere to the post- procedure instruction sheet. I asked about the bra and the nurse apologized that the instructions had not been updated to include men. When I got home I put on one of my bras because I wanted to carefully adhere to the post- procedure instruction sheet.
The incidence of men having breast cancer is on the increase and I advise all of my male friends to check their breasts about once a month. I hadn't been doing that.
One final note and that is when I was in my Urologist's office I asked him if woman who had sex reassignment surgery could get prostate cancer since they still have their prostates. He said that they could. In my opinion, that cancer would not have the male hormone to feed on and would grow very slowly, but I am not an MD and not knowledgeable about the subject.
