Today's guest is two-time male breast cancer survivor Ron Rappaport. He's also a lymphedema thriver due to a lymph node transplant, and Global Lead Advocate for Male Breast Cancer Happens.org. Ron hosts his own podcast titled It's A Wrap with Rap, where he interviews people who have overcome all types of challenges.
Male breast cancer is something that is not talked about nearly enough. 1% of all breast cancers are male, and, while that may not seem like a lot, that's 2800 men per year. Ron and I discuss the unique challenges men with breast cancer face, how important it is for them to find and lean into support, lymphedema and lymph node transplants, sharing with the men in your life, and so much more!!
