Your worry for your friend shines strong.<br /><br />I'd like to note that while only 1% of all breast cancer occurs in men, that isn't zero.<br /><br />While male, I had the horror of discovering a lump in my breast and had all the anxiety that happens while awaiting a mammogram. Mammogram machines are NOT made to accomodate someone over six feet tall. I feel great empathy for those tall women that must crouch during the torture. Yes, it was a benign cyst, but there are men that have been frightened by that monster.Kallixtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121048834646013472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-49574728139101870582012-10-07T10:17:32.992-07:002012-10-07T10:17:32.992-07:00My favorite colors in synthesis are reds, oranges,...My favorite colors in synthesis are reds, oranges, and purples - perhaps why I love autumn so much. Thank you for noticing, Erinys. <br /><br />Yesterday in my writer's workshop some new cohorts shared their writing with me, and I them. Some were surprised that that was part of the drill, and mentioned they would have written something different if they had known they had to read it out loud, albeit in a small group. Each writer was breathtaking, and shared some insidious monsters of her own. I thnk that is where the power really is - knowing we are not alone.

The prognosis is good, although you can never tell. <br /><br />The thought of what is essentially a part of us turning against us is the stuff nightmares are made of and I hope your friend defeats hers. The fact that it runs in families makes it even more frightening.Erinyshttp://harpysnest.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
