Not to be taken seriously
Hi,
my name is Karl and I’m a male breast cancer survivor. Diagnosed two years ago. Finished treatment including surgery, chemo and radiation. A big problem for me is to talk about it. Almost everyone responds with laughter and thinks I’m trying to fool them (males and females)! Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

I’m new to this but is it after they all or are you willingly disclosing it? If it’s in response to what type of cancer I’d respond by saying you may not be aware of it but men are diagnosed with….. or ,,, since some people are into facts I’d say I’m unique or special and I’m in the 10 percentile of men who are diagnosed with,,,, I hope I didn’t offend you but some people are gonna respond with “after you serious”? Because they aren’t aware.

According to my experience, most people (male and female) are not aware that men can get breast cancer too. No offense taken, Keri!

Sorry but I’m plenty of laughter myself. I want to escape that treatment and just didn’t know what nonsense a female dark hairy prof at UZ VUB Brussels Belgium all vomited. I can’t come upon her name now but can easily search it. They discovered it because I wanted to visit my friend in Africa and wanted to know if the thing I hided since the beginning of the lockdown was contagious. That’s all.
