  • S6 Ep7: Richard and Stuart on breast cancer in men

    S6 Ep7: Richard and Stuart on breast cancer in men
    May 23 2025
    Richard was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and Stuart was diagnosed in 2005 and now lives with secondary breast cancer.

    They are both involved with the Men’s VMU, an online group aimed at supporting men with a breast cancer diagnosis, promoting research into breast cancer in men, and raising awareness of the signs and symptoms.

    Only around 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year.

    Richard and Stuart talk about how their diagnoses took them by surprise, and share their work in the Men’s VMU trying to get the message to as many people as possible.
