@greem masc-aligned in general are more likely to wait til its almost too late to see doctors. like all the male breast cancer stories are like "i went in when my nipples started to bleed and thats stage 4"
i think the pressure to remain cool headed and strong meets the anxiety of perhaps having a dr confirm something you dont want to be true and it becomes deadly.
good luck bud. i really hope you claw back more time from this thing.

@hi_cial Thanks. It's looking ok so far, under control. Treatment isn't much fun but the gaps between things are alright. I had a few inklings but they were concurrent with dreadful arthritis in my hips, one of which got replaced 6 months before this was diagnosed. And then there was blood... The rest is history. I've got stuff to do and I'm bloody well going to get on with it!
