It is an absolute privilege to work with these incredibly brave men, who have found the courage to speak out, with the hope that it will save lives.

We are delighted to be working with Walk and Walk and all other partner charities to raise awareness of breast cancer in men.听Our centres are for anyone living with cancer and see the fullest possible range of cancer types, ages and situations, but sadly not a lot of men with breast cancer.听I would love to see many more come through the doors of our centres and benefit from our professional practical, emotional and psychological support.
Laura Lee, Chief Executive of Maggie鈥檚

I knew men could get breast cancer, but I never thought it would be me. We can all be dismissive and think that these things happen to other people. When I felt a lump in my chest, I thought it鈥檚 just a wee lump, there wasn鈥檛 much swelling and I thought that it would go away. But after about two weeks of checking that it was still there, I decided to go to my doctor to get it checked out. I was glad that I did.
