- Storyline:
According to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure, approximately 209,060 people in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. Just 1,970 of those people – less than 1 percent – will be men. Fatty Taylor had no idea men could even get breast cancer until he took off his shirt for a physical in 2000. His regular physician wasn’t available, so he saw a woman doctor who immediately recognized that Taylor’s right nipple was inverted. When he told her it had been like that for three or four years, she immediately took him to the emergency room, where four other doctors subsequently did their own test by inserted their thumb into the nipple. “Everybody’s feeling my nipple and not telling me anything,” Taylor said. “The fourth doctor came in and said, ‘You have breast cancer. We operate tomorrow morning.’ I had been walking around with breast cancer for four years and not knowing it.
