Although the incidence of breast cancer is much higher in women than it is in men, it
is important to note that both men and women get breast cancer. Breast cancer is simply
cancerous cells that originate in the breast tissue. Therefore, any living creature that
has breast tissue or mammary glands is susceptible to contracting breast cancer. It's important
to perform your monthly breast self exam so that you can become more aware of the normal
look and feel of your ***. The issue that we face with breast cancer is the fact that
cancerous tumors grow through a process of cell replication. Therefore, a small breast
cancer tumor can grow from as small as three millimeters to as large as three centimeters
in as quickly as in three months. That's not meant to be a scare tactic, it's simply fact
that breast cancer tumors can grow quite rapidly. Therefore, it's important to check yourself
on a monthly basis because something that you did not detect last month might be detectable
this month. It is important for partners to understand that both women and men should
go through monthly self examination screenings and you should encourage one another to keep
a journal so that you will remember to do your monthly breast self exam. Both men and
women are susceptible to breast cancer, and the early detection of breast cancer will
save your life.
