Kris and Cass finally got to meet Phil Alderson, arguably the world’s most well-known male breast cancer survivor.
Breast cancer is largely associated with women, but we often forget that men can also develop it. It makes sense when you think about it—after all, both men and women have breast tissue.
Although uncommon, breast cancer in men accounts for about 1% of all breast cancer cases. In 2022, it was estimated that 212 men were diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia. Men have much less breast tissue than women, and most of it is located behind the nipple.
Kris and Cass were on the hunt for some male representation in this space, which is notoriously hard to find. But they found Phil, who has done incredible work advocating for awareness and bringing light—and laughter—to a space that can often feel grim and isolating.
