The Unknown
As I was searching the web I came a across a man with an unique story. John W. Nick went to the doctor because of concerns of an inverted nipple. One doctor told him not to worry and sent him home. Two years later John went back to another doctor, still the doctor found nothing to worry about. Not many men know about breast cancer beacuse Breast Cancer is related to woman.
John was not concidering his invert nipple was Breast Cancer. John knew for six years that something was wrong, but never got any answers. John began to get concered, he needed answers and was hoping that some one could help him. A doctor in New York listened to Johns concerns and decided he had Male Breast Cancer. John was immediatly summited for a mastectony.
He went though six months of chemotherapy and put on a drug for a year. It was to late for John because he went so long without any knowledge that he had Breast Cancer. The Cancer spread to his bones and sadly died in 1991. Because no one could give him an answer, his daughter has now started a campain to educate people on Male Breast Cancer.
I couldnt believe that people were dying because of not being educated. So this story was so powerful and I hope that his daughter and many more people get the information out in the world and we start saving people before it gets too late.
