Male breast cancer makes up about 1% of all breast cancer cases. The numbers are small, but it does happen. Jake Messier is living with metastatic breast cancer after first being diagnosed with stage II disease in 2023. Jake has very active Tik Tok and Instagram accounts (theguywithstage4breastcancer) detailing his experience with breast cancer.

Listen to the episode to hear Jake explain:

  • how he felt when he was diagnosed
  • why and how he got a second opinion and moved his care to Dana Farber
  • why he decided to be vocal about being a man with breast cancer
  • why he started the Male Breast Cancer Research Foundation and what he hopes to accomplish with it
