I never met a man with breast cancer. are they ashamed to tell?

Many are: Breast cancer is much less common in men, so you may not have met anyone close enough. Many may feel a stigma for having a "woman's disease" as men are not thought of as having breasts (they are undeveloped, but present). Some, though, are vocal in spreading awareness.

Male breast cancer: 1 in 100 breast cancers diagnosed are in men. Maybe you just haven't met one yet.

Rare tumor: Breast cancer in men is about 1% of the rate in women and you may not have met a man who suffered from the disease.
