Do Men Get Breast Cancer?
The BBF Provided a Mammogram to a Man! Here's What He Said
By Bob Noble, Colorado
I am a 49 year old white male … 245 lbs, 6’1” … uh, not physically active. There, I said it. I have a sedentary job, driving charter buses out of Palm Springs, CA. Since retiring from the military 9 years ago, I’ve sorta let my body go. This May (2011), I was surprised to find a large lump under my left armpit.
At first, I passed it off as just a fatty deposit, nothing more. Eventually, though, it started to hurt. Not all the time, but when the pain came, I took notice. When I asked my loving wife to look at the lump, she actually gasped! (Oops, maybe this is more serious than I thought…). At her insistence, I made an appointment with our family physician.
We Are Pleased To Welcome Myrl Williams As Our Major Donor Director!
We are proud to announce a new member on our Executive Team at The Becky Baker Foundation! Myrl Williams has joined us as our Major Donor Director!
Myrl is an actual Colorado Springs native, as in one who has lived here all her life! Wow, how rare!
Players in our October 20 event probably remember Myrl at the registration table. We received many great comments about her infectious smile and how well she worked and multitasked all that there was to do.
Our goal is to raise one million dollars this year and she will be the one to help us do it! Her fundraising experience runs the gamut and we are privileged to have her onboard.
With her mother being a 12-year breast cancer survivor, she believes early detection and a positive attitude were the keys to her mother’s success. Her passion for breast cancer prevention is unmatched!
There are so many women (and men) who have foregone their screenings for the past two years and we are beginning to see a massive influx of breast cancer diagnoses. Everyone knows someone now who is sick it seems. We need to get these people who cannot afford the tests screened immediately, before it is too late.
Of all the "breast cancer" foundations that operate in the US, we the the only one that we are aware of that simply provides free screenings to anyone who asks, woman or man.
The first step to preventing breast cancer is to know your body, and a mammogram or thermogram begins this lifelong process.
Welcome Myrl!
