WOMAN magazine Hi everyone,
Just thought that I’d let you know that there is an article in WOMAN magazine “out today” about my experiences.

I was reading with interest that RESEARCH appeal thread - maybe we should not be called Men anymore - if we were children 300 cases per annum would be a lot, so I propose that we call ourselves:

“MATURE CHILDREN” instead, then they might actually do something!

Regards

Brian

Wish I’d read it first! I wish I’d read the article first before placing this thread!

I would just like to point out that I’m not a pervert, nor have I ever been branded a pervert by anyone - that I know of. This is an issue I’m taking up with the publishers directly.

The article I have just read it, and the P word is in the headline, and also near the end when they say that Brian said that he was accused of “just wanting to talk about women’s breasts as if he was some kind of pervert”
I am afraid that the press often exaggerate the headlines to make people read them.
I hope you are able to get some satisfaction from the publishers

Brian I read the article and immediately realised it was you. Well done for raising awareness of the fact that bc can affect men too.

Well Done Brian Read youre article Brian - dont bother about being a Perv - we know what you mean.

Just goes to show that you have to be careful what you say to people of the Press - they pick up on everything.

I hope you are still looking forward to the Fashion Show - getting close now.

Speak again soon

Yeah but thats the point… the headline is their statement - not mine. I never mentioned anything about being branded a Perv.

But your right, the press will embelish on anything, just to give the story impact. I think - generally speaking - the article got the point across, particularly with the good words from my wife.

This morning - GMTV were covering the Herceptin release story. They were reporting it as “Women with early stages will receive…”, my wife, bless her, rang in and made the point that Men get it too and the next time it came up it was “Breast Cancer Sufferers with early stages will receive…”. She’s brilliant at that and I owe her a lot and to her credit she is a true crusader of our cause.

Well done the WIVES Good on her Brian - please note the Breast Cancer Care words on the news regarding Herceptin - they mention People not women.

We have only to carry on educating people - one day they will understand - Breast Cancer affects Men too - there are women who use this site, require educating too.

Well done again Mrs Brian

cheers David
