Thanks Lani (aka Santa), I so appreciate hearing this today, although any day I would welcome this. I know that this disease is more aggressive with men and difficult to control at this stage of his game.

I am so pleased to see the amount of study and recoginition that MBC has received since his diagnosis. There was almost no mention of it in any brouchure etc. I picked up. My have we come far with advocating and studying how this cancer behaves in men. We still have so much further to go but it is nice to be around to see the advancements.

I will always advocate for MBC for all my years to come. I feel so less alone these days. Again, I needed this so and thank you once again. So thankful>>Believe51
