# I didn't want to see that picture. ):
But I agree with your message very much! Breast cancer's another topic like this - all this pink ribbons and running marathons for your mum/gran/sister who died of it. Men get it too but the public doesn't seem to care.

# The worst thing I ever heard
while waiting for a mammogram some time ago was a young man having to have one. He couldn't help himself screaming in pain. One of the nurses was almost in tears at his plight - and you can imagine how hard a cancer nurse has to be.

ETA: I don't think it's so much that people don't care its that people simply don't know. I didn't know until that day and when I tell that story (not very often) the response is usually the same.

# The incidence is lower in men isn't it?
But of course there's prostate and teticular cancer. Where's David Prowse banging the drum?

Boohoohoo. So organise a marathon, they don't organise themselves.
