Believe51 · 03-06-2008, 11:03 AM

Hey Amy, the topic is currently being investigated by doctors and Dana Farber, I just thought I could get some feedback here. Ed always sweat during these workouts BUT this came about weeks before getting diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. Hormones may be a culprit but again Dana Farber and our other doctors are studying this mostly with men. Most men with breast cancer (I speak with many) experience this and although we thought that bc was bc there are many differences. We are now treating these cancers different than women now (recently). Just trying to gather any information on my part. There is a piece missing to understanding male bc and I hope I live long enough to see the puzzle completed AND as close to a cure as possible!!

Thanks for the reply and all the support over this last year, we appreciate it Amy.
