I’m glad you talked with Pat and heard Matt’s story. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Matt, but have been blessed to spend time with Pat on several occasions. I agree with him in that we need to implement screening for our men so we can stop, or at least slow down, this trend of diagnosing breast cancer in men at too late of a stage. Thank you again for this post.
I admire you and Pat B so much for your fight to educate the public (and men, especially) about their risk for breast cancer. How many people do you think that you have talked to about male breast cancer? Can you even estimate? What you have done is beautiful.
Gosh, I would think several thousand? Marlyn died eight years ago the end of this month and between all of the newspaper articles, the television interviews, the podcasts, and in-person visits, I think its safe to say “several thousand”. I am currently in California and yesterday alone, we probably reached nearly 200 people easily.
That is so amazing. I wonder how many men have been screened or found a lump (early) that they otherwise wouldn't have known about for several years. I wish we had met for a reason other than male breast cancer, but I am so grateful to have met you.

I feel exactly the same way! You have been such a blessing in my life!
