Advises her sons to be vigilant of any unusual breast changes.

 



And I also had to reassure my two sons. I had no daughters to worry about with the genetic link in breast cancer but my, one of my sons is living in England, away from home and every now and then he would phone me and say "Mum should I be checked out, I mean I know I'm a man but should I be checked out?" Because there is a fear, although men's cancer is quiet rare, there also is that fear, you know, that it could be genetically linked. And what I've always told them is just be vigilant, just watch and see and don't panic.
