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 https://t.co/2HgwgCm7d0

The NHS will offer the hormone therapy anastrozole to 289,000 women deemed to be at moderate or high risk of breast cancer which could halve their risk of developing the disease.

@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

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. https://t.co/Vj4UdqavU0

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.

"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 ✊

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!
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

@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.

“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.” @moobs_uk @YahooUK

James Richards, 37, had no symptoms apart from a small pea-sized lump he didn't initially think anything of.

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 @malefitness
It was a pleasure to talk to @_annabonet about my journey so far and to promote the moobment… Top write up! @moobs_uk

Most men don't realise we can get breast cancer too. Here's what I want them to know

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
"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.

Despite around 400 cases of male breast cancer being diagnosed every year, awareness is generally low.

Whilst small in number, each diagnosis represents someone’s grandfather, father, partner or son.
