Breast Cancer In Men

Did you know that breast cancer affects men as well as women?

Each year around 370 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer.

That is why Chemogiftbags has supported men from day one. We believe that more men need to know how to check their chest and be aware of the signs to look for in order to detect breast cancer early.

Most men who get breast cancer are over 60, but it’s important for men of all ages to check their breasts and pick up on any changes.

Please share this with your husbands, sons, family members and friends.

Let’s get sharing and checking!

Symptoms to look out for

Lumps under or around the nipple – usually hard, painless and don’t move around.

A nipple turning inwards.

Fluid oozing from the nipple (which may be streaked with blood).

A sore or rash around the nipple that doesn’t go away.

The nipple or surrounding skin becoming hard, red or swollen. Small bumps in the armpit.

Both men & women can get the same side effects from chemo, so a Chemogiftbag is as useful for a man as it is for a lady.
