I feel really sorry for men who have breast cancer. It is an extremely small percentage of cases, but it is a disease that has such a strong feminine association. I find myself wondering what, (if any) accommodations are made for men who face this. Are there blue pamphlets for them? This has been highlighted for me as I realized this week that men don't talk about breast cancer. I don't have very many male friends, but those who now know my situation have been silent on the whole subject. I haven't had any other serious illnesses but it's made me wonder if I'd had a heart attack if more men would have reached out.
Since you wondered, no, the pamphlets for men are the exact same ones for women...pink colors and all.
