Hello Preston -
I have just returned from San Antonio (along with Joe and Christine) and there was a booth on the exhibit floor with two men representing the John Nick Foundation.
Here is the link: http://www.johnwnickfoundation.org/index.html

There was a lot of interest in this booth as one of the men is a breast cancer survivor himself and turns out he lives in my area! There was a poster of him with his mastectomy scar hanging on the curtain behind his booth. He was literally letting it all hang out - and it was great to see him so open about his problem.

FYI - the father of my radiation oncologist had breast cancer, but died from complications of prostate cancer many years after his breast cancer treatment.

Hope all these suggestions will help - but we welcome you here with any questions/problems as they may actually be quite similar in both sexes.
