"Men can get breast cancer too" - Jim Weeks Story

While getting undressed, Jim noticed a little bit of red on his white T-shirt. He initially thought that he had spilled marinara sauce, but after noticing it happening again he realized it must be something else. Jim saw his doctor and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer in men is rare, but it does happen. In 2011, it is estimated that 2,140 men will be diagnosed and 450 men will lose their battle with this disease.
