Man denied mammogram

The other thing that made yesterday's doctor visit unusual, was that one of the patients I made friends with was a man. (I go to an all breast cancer facility.) A very sweet older gentleman, with stage 4 breast cancer. I immediately thought of him when I saw this next story.

  1. Thanks for the article. You are doing a great job keeping your pulse on the news as related to breast cancer. I hope this poor man gets the services he deserves. I feel bad for men with this disease because of the possible stigma associated with it and the limited number of survivors with whom they could bond.
