Whilst this undeniably fantastic news for the treatment of breast cancer generally, it would be nice to know whether this has the same effect for men and whether it will be available to men in the high-risk category that have the BRAC gene dailymail.co.uk/health/artic…

Sadly, it’s not. We’re also never really told about male breast cancer either which is extremely alarming. @moobs_uk are the first UK organisation raising awareness

Today we lost Richard Roundtree, actor and breast cancer survivor. Diagnosed in 1993, Richard discusses his diagnosis in this interview. It seems that even 30 years on, attitudes and perceptions have yet to change. Men CAN get breast cancer. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y1dRN…

I had to go to a pre-op physio appointment today which specialises in breast cancer recovery. Three people said a variation of: “I think you might be in the wrong place/got the date wrong - this is for breast cancer patients only” More work to be done.

"People were completely unaware that men could get breast cancer." James was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Disappointed by a lack of health advice geared towards men for the condition, he formed @moobs_uk - the UK's first male breast cancer organisation ✊

Great to speak to @tomedwards, host of the Complete Tech Heads podcast about male breast cancer and how technology could revolutionise the treatment and early detection of the disease. Thanks for having me on, Tom!
Men – how often are you checking your breasts for lumps? If you’re anything like me, it’s basically never. This week I’m speaking with @blancmangetout, founder of @moobs_uk – a non-profit dedicated to awareness of male breast cancer. Before this podcast, I wasn’t even aware that men had breast tissue, never mind the risk of breast cancer. In it, we cover his journey from initial concerns, to being told to prepare for a terminal diagnosis, to fortunately being told this wasn’t the case, up until today and the foundation of Moobs. We also talk about some of the most exciting technologies being developed for the treatment of cancer, from vaccines to nanobots. I want to thank James for his bravery and candour. This is a difficult conversation, but hopefully, you’ll find plenty of humour and cause for optimism for future treatments in there too. Links in the top comment…

@moobs_uk Thanks to James for setting up this group. As a stage 4 male breast cancer patient of 4 years, I have often worried about the lack of support for men with this type of cancer. I look forward to seeing it grow and flourish.

“In an ideal world, I don’t want to be setting up this organisation - and I hope that eventually moobs will cease to exist because we’ve successfully challenged the way we talk about breast cancer.” @moobs_uk @YahooUK uk.style.yahoo.com/style/uks…

Men can get #breastcancer too. They can feel alone and isolated with a disease that mainly affects women. Read this brilliant article by @blancmangetout and check out @moobs_uk Tell every man you know to check their chest @malefitness

Thanks to the team at @bbc5live for having me on to discuss male breast cancer and how we can raise awareness by challenging the language around the disease
"If men aren't aware they can get breast cancer, they'll ignore things like lumps." James Richards, the man behind the Moobs movement, wants more men to be educated about the cancer and is challenging the language used.

Whilst small in number, each diagnosis represents someone’s grandfather, father, partner or son.
