The Breast Cancer Site Community is coming to a close.
First, please accept our sincere thanks for taking the time to join and post on The Breast Cancer Site Community, a part of the GreaterGood Network Community.

As of Tuesday, July 15, 2008, our BETA test of The Breast Cancer Site Community will come to a close.

What does this mean for you? As members of the original GreaterGood Network Community, you will still be able to access your member profiles and see all of your posts, blogs, photos, videos, and guest book entries under "My Content" in the left navigation. The main difference is that the breast cancer forums are no longer available; posts to forums may not be edited or added to, and the color and branding of the overall community will be purple for The Animal Rescue Site Community, which is continuing.

Your stories have touched many, and created a safe space for those living with cancer, survivors and supporters to share information, hope and support. We are honored that you allowed us to share with you in your joys and losses, fears and triumphs.

We are working to make sure you will again have a community available to you where you will continue to feel safe and heard. Your input is important to us - if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email the community moderator, greatergood.moderator@gmail.com.


Thank you.

Sincerely,

The GreaterGood

Breast Cancer happens to men too

[Replies: 1]
Male Breast Cancer accounts for approximately 1 percent of cases. It usually occurs in men from 60-70. The treatment for men is also mastectomies, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, among other treatment. We must keep in mind that this disease effects both men and women, and keep in mind that we are all in this fight together.

Do you know any men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer?

Do you know of any resources for men in particular who are dealing with Breast Cancer?

I never knew that! Usually people only think it happens to women like me, but really I guess it can happen to men too! Thanks for the information! I will tell all my friends as soon as possible!
