Jim Berry (pictured) from the ?Berry For Breakfast? morning show on KFEZ in Colorado Springs, announced on the air this morning that he has stage 3 breast cancer. Berry had a mastectomy last week and will start chemotherapy this week. On the air, Berry said men need to understand that this type of cancer, that normally affects women, also attacks many men and they need to check for lumps and bumps and see a doctor right away.
Male breast cancer accounts for about 1 percent of all breast cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2010, about 1,970 new cases of breast cancer in men would be diagnosed and that breast cancer would cause approximately 390 deaths in men (in comparison, almost 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year).
