Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Men Have a Role, Too.
Breast cancer may primarily affect women, but supporting women through breast cancer should never be viewed as a women-only conversation.
This October, I’m honored to share My Sister’s Keeper, a short film produced by Dr. Brandon Frame, CEO of TheBlackManCan, and Dr. Wendy Garvin MayoGarvin Mayo, CEO of Collaborative Cancer Care.
The film brings men into the breast cancer conversation and highlights the important role they can play through education, awareness, advocacy, and support.
Men can learn the signs and risks of breast cancer.
Men can encourage the women they love to prioritize screening and their health.
Men can show up during diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and beyond.
Men can become informed advocates in their families and communities.
Sometimes advocacy begins with simply knowing enough to ask the right question, start the conversation, or stand beside someone when they need support most.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re expanding the conversation.
Because when it comes to breast cancer, men can be part of the awareness. Men can be part of the advocacy. And men can be part of the support.
