bladesufc1 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Guys, it's time to check your breasts. Yes believe it or not you do have breast – no matter how small, toned or flabby they are. On top of that shock, it's not only your mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends at risk of breast cancer – you could get it too. Although rare in males, figures released from Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the leading breast cancer research charity, show up to 300 UK males will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year and the figure is likely to increase due to a lack of awareness. Although the dangerous disease rarely effects men in this country, research shows it can strike men both in later and younger life. The male disease has never really hit the headlines, as experts say blokes are too embarrassed and confused about the issue and often end up feeling isolated. To find out more about how breast cancer effects men, go to http://www.breakthrough.org.uk Breakthrough will be teaming up with feminine care brand Kotex, to fund raise for research this month in all Tesco stores.

Heyesey Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I still don't understand why they don't call it "chest cancer" when it affects guys. That way, no guy would be so sensitive about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyesey Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 its still a breast! I know that, and you know that, but Gavin the Macho down the pub will never admit that he has breasts, no matter what real life says. Call it "chest cancer" and he'll quite happily check it out.

Heyesey Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 But chicken 'breasts' aren't actually breasts They don't have nipples! The original meaning of "breast" was the upper chest area (think about "breastplates" in a suit of armour). Only recently has it come to mean - well, for want of a better word, boobies In the case of chickens, it retains its original meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesufc1 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 But chicken 'breasts' aren't actually breasts They don't have nipples! that's correct but it's still the breast area, where the breast plate is!! hence the word breast!
