Welcome to a new era!! I want to thank BCC for providing this forum for men to discuss what it is like to be faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer.

I hope this resrouce as well as the new printed resource now available reaches the men who need help and information regarding the disease.

Best wishes to everyone.

Mitch How are you Mitch? Are you well?

I was diagnosed four years ago with IDC and had a double masstectomy (delayed) and then chemotherapy and now take ARIMIDExX

Things have been tough, as you may know, but I’m gradually realising that I will never be the same person - not a worse one but just changed a bit!!

I hope things go well for you.

—Willy —I am well thank you. I hope you are too.
I was diagnosed 6 years ago, and at first had a lumpectomy, because they thought I had DCIS then a mastectomy, as they found one lymph node involved. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years, coming off it a year ago. There were no side effects, apart from putting on weight, which is still with me.
Even after 6 years, I am still aware of my mastectomy scar, as it still sometimes feels puffy, which the docs say is normal.
I hope more people join us as the new forums become established.
