Male Breast Cancer & Remembering Ryan Keith

See this content in the original post

Join co-hosts Kirby Lewis and Lisa Laudico for our interview with Male Breast Cancer advocate, Michael Singer, and Kate Keith, widow of Male MBC advocate, Ryan Keith.  Kate talks candidly about how Ryan was diagnosed, his treatment challenges, and how it felt for him to be a man with MBC.  Michael Singer, an early-stage breast cancer advocate, discusses how he has seen awareness around male breast cancer change over the years and how advocacy made this happen.  Ryan Keith died of MBC in May of this year and we will be hearing more about Ryan during our special episode remembering those who have died from MBC at the end of this month.
