Herbert Paul Wagner, Male breast cancer survivor, advocate and CEO
of A Man's Pink Although male breast cancer is rare it is important
that men feel comfortable to talk about it, to note that this can
happen and not to ignore the medical signs, as we men have a
tendency to do! Male Breast Cancer: Taking Control fills the
information gap for male breast cancer sufferers. -The Hon Nick
Greiner AC Former Premier of New South Wales, Australia
