male breast cancer remains below the radar.

Maybe it's just me...
 
but last year I went with a friend to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat performed by the local high school. The 1950' number I found quite fascinating...all the guys on stage wore white t shirts and none were "fat", yet ALL of them had breasts...heavy milk drinkers, hormones in other things. Also, my son who is 6 years old and 4 1/2 feet tall has a 7 year old friend that is 3 1/2 feet tall and his mother just started him on hormone treatments to gain some height...I spoke my 2 cents, and she read the risk, but decided anyway. Why do I know we are going to start to see an increase in male breast cancer?
