男人也会得乳腺癌?

一生中，男人患乳腺癌的几率为千分之一。所以我想，不是乳腺癌的几率至少有99%！但是，我还是不希望被观察6个月。我知道，在知道自己可能患有癌症的情况下，我是无法安心的。我和初级保健医生聊了聊，他也是我的好朋友，他说他不会太担心。但他表示，如果我担心的话，可以做一次活检。检查结果是恶性的。

I live not far from Houston, so I went to MD Anderson [Cancer Center] for care. I figured since male breast cancer is rare, I wanted to be treated at a place that dealt with cancer all the time. They did genetic testing that showed I did not have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, which increase breast cancer risk.

我住的地方离休斯顿不远，所以我去了安德森癌症中心接受治疗。我想，既然男性乳腺癌十分罕见，那我倒希望在一个一直治疗癌症的地方接受治疗。他们对我做了基因检测，结果显示我没有乳腺癌1号基因（BRCA1）或乳腺癌2号基因（BRCA2）突变，这增加了我患乳腺癌的风险。

My mother had breast cancer, but because I was negative for those mutations, the doctors thought my DNA just decided to go haywire. Another test showed I only had about an 8% chance of recurrence. But there aren't many treatment options for men other than mastectomy, since we don't have much breast tissue.
