My dad is about to have surgery for breast cancer for a second time. The last we caught it early enough that it was a relatively minor deal. He found out when he went to a doctor because his nipples were bleeding. This time it hopefully was early enough too.

Somewhere, I posted my own experience with male breast cancer. I guess it wasn’t here. When I was in practice I saw a new male breast cancer about twice a year. The youngest was 26 and a body builder. I asked him about steroid use but he denied it. At surgery, he had 21 positive nodes but was still well when I retired about four years later.
The scariest was a 50 year old man who had bilateral simultaneous breast cancer. Bilateral lumps are almost always gynecomastia but most over 25 are alcoholics. His one lump was a bit eccentric, which saved me from a possible terrible mistake. I did bilateral mastectomies and he eventually had a bone marrow transplant and was still well and free of metastases when I retired.

One of our close friends, just down the block, was diagnosed 3 years ago. So far he has managed to stay cancer free.

Epigenetic markers stay attached for about 3-4 generations.

Similar to that old line that the sins pass down for 3-4 generations, or that curses do.

Only a psychopathic god that is mean and nasty could do something like that right?
