Men get breast cancer too. Rare, but real. A lump, nipple change or swelling in the armpit should be checked by a GP, not dismissed as a cancer that only affects women. #MensBreastCancer

A second opinion is a normal part of good cancer care, not an insult to your team. You are allowed to ask for one, and most clinicians expect it. Your specialist nurse or GP can explain how it works. #CancerSupport

A fever during chemotherapy is not a wait-and-see symptom. Some treatments lower your ability to fight infection, so 38°C (100.4°F) or above means calling your cancer team now, day or night. Ask for the 24-hour number if you don't have one. #CancerSupport
