Men Get Breast Cancer Too! Breast Cancer is not a death sentence but a wake-up call! Vanity or Morality? Life lessons-Life-Personal Development-Health

This can’t be stated enough!! All men, check yourselves out!! Yes, we know there is a stigma associated with male breast cancer but don’t allow stigma to be the death of you. Choose life of choose death, is the realty of accepting or not accepting. You have one life to live, don’t live it in ignorance and don't die due to ignorance.

My first time hearing of men with breast cancer was about seven years ago via Facebook. Since that time, I have encountered numerous others who had gone public with having or dealing with breast cancer. This revelation yet have not reached the masses where men are proactive.

While in Waterville, Maine for my solo show, “I Question America-Legacy of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer” I sat watching television and was astonished when I heard that Matthew Knowles would be a guest. I glued myself to the show because he was the first African American man that I had seen to come on national television and discuss his journey with breast cancer. I didn’t know he had a bout with breast cancer prior to this show.
