"One of the hardest things is actually telling somebody. I didn't want someone else's reaction shaping my attitude towards it."

Phil found a lump behind his nipple in 2016 and got the shock of his life when it was confirmed as breast cancer.

Breast cancer in men is rare, with around 375 men being diagnosed in the UK each year.

Thanks to Phil's quick acting when he first discovered symptoms, he is here to share his story and advocate for early detection that can help save more lives. @macmillancancer

📸: The power of this photo from the @irisedinger and @fuckitiamalive exhibition hit me when the exhibition manager said it looked like “I had finally had the release I had been waiting for” I nearly broke down when I heard those words.

Fairfax and Favour are long time supporters of @breastcancernow donating 100% of the profits of specially designed BCN products.

Do you share your journey?

We can all take solice that sharing makes others feel a little less alone.

Expectation vs Reality of Male Breast Cancer Awareness

I’d like to think I’ve helped and inspired some, hopefully educated others.

There is no right or wrong way to navigate breast cancer awareness month, remember:

On TV breast cancer is often wrapped in pink ribbons and marketed in a way that’s easy to digest

But for many survivors, that ‘pink and fluffy’ version feels far from reality.

Imagine if Microsoft had put a #feelitonthefirst message on the blue screen of death?

How many people that would have seen it?

I stupidly clicked a Winter-wonderland advert and now my social media is unusable

Tamoxifen was killing me:

- Tired
- Unfocussed
- Demotivated
- Leg cramps

And I didn’t even realise.
(Well, I knew about leg cramps)

Everyone is different and Tamoxifen is not for everyone. Speak to your consultant about alternatives, even a different brand.

[Phil Alderson @PhilipAlderson]

if you’re reading this right now and hate where you are, remember that life is short and anyone can be dealt a shock ‘cancer’ diagnosis out of the blue. So why wait.

So start that new career, quit that job, start to dance, follow your dreams.

Take action!

isn’t it weird how the best instagram hack tutorials aren’t created using the hack they describe
