moobs

The UK’s first and only dedicated male breast cancer organisation

@mizzieashitey @ThanksCancer I’m very sorry to learn of this, Miranda. It is certainly worth all family members to be tested for the BRCA mutation.

[James @blancmangetout]

Massive thanks to @vicderbyshire for having me as a guest on the #AndThenCameBreastCancer podcast alongside Louise McKenna-Hayes and Harleen Deol.

Whilst this undeniably fantastic news for the treatment of breast cancer generally, it would be nice to know whether this has the same effect for men and whether it will be available to men in the high-risk category that have the BRAC gene

@LauraCassels1 Sadly, it’s not. We’re also never really told about male breast cancer either which is extremely alarming. @moobs_uk are the first UK organisation raising awareness

[moobs @moobs_uk]

Today we lost Richard Roundtree, actor and breast cancer survivor.

Diagnosed in 1993, Richard discusses his diagnosis in this interview.

It seems that even 30 years on, attitudes and perceptions have yet to change.

Men CAN get breast cancer.

I had to go to a pre-op physio appointment today which specialises in breast cancer recovery.

Three people said a variation of:

“I think you might be in the wrong place/got the date wrong - this is for breast cancer patients only”

More work to be done.

@Loiscarter @JOE_co_uk @PoliticsJOE_UK Haha, I like it!

Thanks Lois x

Thank you @alexj_roberts - the pleasure was all mine!

[Alex @A_J_R92]

Pleasure having James in the studio today and helping him tell his story

Check yourselves, lads 👊

"People were completely unaware that men could get breast cancer."

James was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.

Disappointed by a lack of health advice geared towards men for the condition, he formed @moobs_uk - the UK's first male breast cancer organisation ✊

@Liz_ORiordan @VanessaOnAir @TalkTV Thank you, Liz

[moobs @moobs_uk]

Big thank you to @VanessaOnAir and the team at @TalkTV for having me on to discuss all things moobs.

Great to also meet a digital version of @Liz_ORiordan

Great to speak to @tomedwards, host of the Complete Tech Heads podcast about male breast cancer and how technology could revolutionise the treatment and early detection of the disease.

Thanks for having me on, Tom!

[Tom Edwards AI @tomedwards]

Men – how often are you checking your breasts for lumps? If you’re anything like me, it’s basically never.

This week I’m speaking with @blancmangetout, founder of @moobs_uk – a non-profit dedicated to awareness of male breast cancer.

Before this podcast, I wasn’t even aware that men had breast tissue, never mind the risk of breast cancer.

In it, we cover his journey from initial concerns, to being told to prepare for a terminal diagnosis, to fortunately being told this wasn’t the case, up until today and the foundation of Moobs.

We also talk about some of the most exciting technologies being developed for the treatment of cancer, from vaccines to nanobots.

I want to thank James for his bravery and candour. This is a difficult conversation, but hopefully, you’ll find plenty of humour and cause for optimism for future treatments in there too.

@moobs_uk Thanks to James for setting up this group. As a stage 4 male breast cancer patient of 4 years, I have often worried about the lack of support for men with this type of cancer. I look forward to seeing it grow and flourish.

[moobs @moobs_uk]

@EvansUk70 Thank you Steve. We need to change this and I’m determined to make it happen

[James @blancmangetout]

“In an ideal world, I don’t want to be setting up this organisation - and I hope that eventually moobs will cease to exist because we’ve successfully challenged the way we talk about breast cancer.”

Men can get #breastcancer too. They can feel alone and isolated with a disease that mainly affects women.

Read this brilliant article by @blancmangetout and check out @moobs_uk

Tell every man you know to check their chest

It was a pleasure to talk to @_annabonet about my journey so far and to promote the moobment…

Thanks to the team at @bbc5live for having me on to discuss male breast cancer and how we can raise awareness by challenging the language around the disease

[BBC Radio 5 Live @bbc5live]

"If men aren't aware they can get breast cancer, they'll ignore things like lumps."

James Richards, the man behind the Moobs movement, wants more men to be educated about the cancer and is challenging the language used.
