Richard and Stuart, both men living with breast cancer, share their experiences of diagnosis, treatment and the challenges of being diagnosed with a disease mostly associated with women.
Richard was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and Stuart was diagnosed in 2005 and now lives with secondary breast cancer.
They are both involved with the Men’s VMU, an online group aimed at supporting men with a breast cancer diagnosis, promoting research into breast cancer in men, and raising awareness of the signs and symptoms.
Only around 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year.
Richard and Stuart talk about how their diagnoses took them by surprise, and share their work in the Men’s VMU trying to get the message to as many people as possible.
