YES, MEN GET BREAST CANCER

My story began in August, 1999. I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had surgery to remove a mass by my thyroid. I didn't have chemo after my surgery, but had two different sessions of radiation. I still have several tumors in my body, but they aren't growing. I just continue with regular check-ups from time to time.

I knew the Lord was taking care of me. There were no problems. Things were going well until July of 2017. I felt a lump in my left breast while I was taking a shower. I told my wife about it and she said I should get it checked out. I went to a doctor and a biopsy of the lump was taken. It was cancer! I had metastatic breast cancer as it had spread into my lymph nodes. They took out 6 lymph nodes and three of them were cancer. I then had chemo and 33 radiation treatments. The chemo was tough but the radiation treatments were a piece of cake. I'm now on pills and I go for regular check-ups. It's like wait and see how it goes. Through all the struggles, I knew the most important thing in my life was that the Lord was always with me at all times, good and bad. He's still in control and I have no fear at all. No problems, no depression, no "why me", no sadness, no regrets. It's all because of my faith in Jesus Christ being my Savior. To me it's like a win-win situation. If the Lord cures me of my cancers, I'll be with my family, friends, and especially my grandchildren. I love them so much! If the Lord takes me, I'll If not cured, I’ll be in heaven with Jesus. What a glorious reunion that will be. No more pain, no more worries, just a very happy experience. So you can see, it's a win-win situation. Thank you for reading my story about living with cancer. I pray that you too will experience the great joy I have with Jesus.
