Your grandmother, mother, aunt, sister, niece, daughter, granddaughter, wife, girlfriend, or friend has probably had it at some point. Pretty sure every guy has a female in their life. Maybe men should understand the importance of spreading the word to the women in their life that early detection is key. Or, at the very least, understand the importance of it.

Actually, I can't think of a single family member that has had breast cancer (knock wood) and I have a LARGE family (8 brothers and sisters, >35 aunts/uncles, 90+ first cousins) but I'm sure there has been just statistically. My family is so large I sometimes don't get the news I should. I do know a lot of my uncles, male cousins and my own father have endured prostate/colon and testicluar cancer and had an uncle die from brain cancer.
Sure we all have mothers/wives/sisters etc. Don't we all have fathers/brothers and sons as well?
