Whilst breast cancer in men is rare, it does get diagnosed. This TV interview asks Graeme questions about his experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer, and asks Dr Hoosain to speak on the topic from a medical perspective.
A cancer diagnosis in a younger woman obviously requires a multitude of conversations, but one that we are increasingly having is that of fertility. More women are postponing childbearing until they have finished tertiary education, are established in their careers, and have formed stable relationships. For women who have not yet finished family planning, a breast cancer diagnosis has profound implications on their ability to have a child. While breast cancer itself does not have any known effect on fertility, the treatment of it does. Some of the implications and important factors that women should be aware of when undergoing treatment and wanting to fall pregnant are outlined in this article.
