Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Male breast cancer awareness- Our mission is to increase awareness and hence the early detection for all men and to help those who are at high risk due to genetics and other risks factors to gain access to regular screenings. Through our efforts, we hope to increase all studies and trials to include men for Diagnostics, Hormonal, Immunotherapy and Genetics, gaining a true understanding of how this disease progresses in men, how it conflicts with that of a woman and the best course of treatment.

I am a 79 year old woman. I was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer almost eight years ago. I was told from day one, 'no chance of cure,' and they will only try to give me as much more time as possible. . I thought I will die with it as I had lost faith in the entire medical profession. I was convinced they didn’t care and do not want cancer cured. 2 years ago our family doctor introduced and started me on Healthherbsclinic Cancer Herbal Tincture, 6 months into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of Cancer, difficulty with urination, and other I’m strong again and able to go about daily activities. Visit Health Herbs Clinic website www. healthherbsclinic .com just wanted to share with anyone looking for alternative treatment for Cancer, I’m forever thankful to nature

HIS breast cancer organization is celebrating almost 10 years since they began. Their founders are not only survivors of breast cancer themselves, but work tirelessly to help men who have been diagnosed, navigating the hard times associated with men’s breast cancer. Their mission and dedication bring clarity through the information and research they’ve shared, helping so many. Truly a wonderful organization that deserves all the recognition they receive.

This organization provides valuable and useful information for not only men but their families as well. Male breast cancer is not talked about. Go to a doctors office they don't even ask you if you have a history of breast cancer in your family for genetic screening. HIS is helping to raise awareness for not only male breast cancer but genetic cancer's . The Information that they provide could not only save lives but it helps you as a patient become an advocate for yourself and your health.

In 2016 the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in males. With so many men out there not realizing that breast cancer can affect them, this organization has been great at promoting and brining awareness to the fact that men do get breast cancer. The HIS Breast Cancer Awareness website is full of great information and has some really fantastic resources. I recommend that any one looking for information on male breast cancer or genetic mutations check out this incredible organization and their website.

We feel privileged and honored to know Vicki Wolf and Harvey Singer, the founders of His Breast Cancer Awareness. The amazing work, their research, information that they share on line, on videos or at conferences about Men’s Breast Cancer has created an invaluable source which has inspired a multitude of men and their families to share their personal stories, creating a safe space for others to come forward. These stories helped to save so very many lives. Because of their passionate work, sharing their own family stories, and their insatiable thirst to always learn more information of detection, symptoms, survival and different courses of treatment, His Breast Cancer Awareness is an exceptional network for other Cancer organizations and foundations.

HIS is an informative and invaluable non-profit organization. The co-founders, brother and sister team have impressive drive to deliver awareness and support about male breast cancer and were a large part of the documentary called Pink and Blue.

I’m am so in awe of all the hard work and dedication on the part of the founders of this non-profit, and all involved, who are committed to education and research in efforts to understand and ultimately eliminate this deadly disease. Male breast cancer has carried such a stigma for men, and HIS tries to do away with the stereotypes and misinformation associated with it; bringing awareness to the central issues and finding commonality between men and women.
HIS is an incredibly important and worthy non- profit that needs to be recognized, expanded and given the credit due to such an important organization.

HIS is a vibrant, educational and incredibly supportive organization. There is not enough information out there about male breast cancer, hereditary cancers and crucial risk factors but HIS is single-handedly changing that. By promoting early detection and spreading awareness, they are most definitely saving lives.

HIS Breast Cancer Awareness has played a very supportive role providing information, counseling and support to several of my male friends that were unfortunate in their diagnoses of breast cancer. As Males they felt isolated and ignored by most of the breast cancer support groups that focused on females and labeled the disease a “women’s disease”. HIS Breast cancer awareness offered advise and direction that my friends were unable to receive from their doctors and medical staff. This non profit organization played a vital role in assisting my friends to navigate through this disease with favorable outcomes. I have recommended this organization to many people who have told me how valuable this relationship has been. The founding members and staff are always available for support and guidance and have years of experience to offer expert advise, especially to males diagnosed with breast cancer.

I have several friends whose wives have been diagnosed with breast cancer. All of them found it quite easy to get information and support to assist them through their struggles fighting the disease. Recently however, I have been exposed to a hand full of men, some very close to me that were also diagnosed with BREAST cancer. Thankfully after learning about "HIS Breast Cancer Awareness" my friends were able to rely on this group of very supportive persons for information, direction and comfort. Without this organization my friends were lost in a "disease for women" with no support, no guidance and nobody to assist them in how to deal with this dreaded disease. HIS Breast Cancer Awareness not only has a fantastically designed and informative website but members of this organization make themselves readily available for support and direct communication enabling men to find the best alternatives to beat Male Breast Cancer.

Through fundraising, internet and even a remarkable documentary (Pink and Blue) they have touched many lives and continue on that path.

The brother and sister team of Harvey Singer and Vicki Singer Wolf have done an amazing job of bringing awareness and important information to men and women about the fact that men can have breast cancer too. They have traveled all over the country , created websites and were involved in a movie to bring invaluable information that has been up until recently, very difficult to find. Kudos to them both.

I cannot commend them enough for their efforts. Harvey has traveled the country and appeared on numerous radio, tv shows and helped promote a documentary about the warning signs and treatment needed to beat this deadly, but under-publicized disease.

Harvey and Vicki are two of the hardest working advocates to a cause that I've been exposed to. They are relentless and passionate in not only getting the word out, but also in taking the time to educate people on the real disease of male breast cancer and what to do regarding preventative measures, symptom recognition and providing assurances that its not a "closet disease" and being pro-active will not only help yourself, but will provide confidence in others.

As a Pilates instructor to breast cancer survivors/thrivers, I was surprised when a male survivor came to our office. We have shared so many of our deepest thoughts and issues and Our breast friends group decided to go to a viewing of a movie that was out about male/female breast cancer. As a result of the movie, we became very well informed about the gene pool that makes some of us at higher/lesser risk, for breast and other cancers. I highly recommend HIS breast cancer for all the information they continue to provide, and for the amazing movie they put together. Our Pilates men/women love HIS Breast Cancer and so do I!

I have learned so much from this organization. Because of HIS, our son got genetic testing to find out if he is a BRCA 1 or 2 carrier. I never would have thought to have this testing otherwise. We too, have a high incidence of Breast cancer in our family, and with the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma, want to have all our bases covered. So thank you for suggesting this test to us.

His Breast Cancer Awareness Inc is a wonderful organization who's mission is dedicated to bring awareness to the very real and potentially very deadly, but much less addressed disease, male breast cancer. It has been my honor and privilege to volunteer my time to this organization as they work tirelessly to provide valuable information, support and resources to those afflicted, their families as well as the public. I will continue to be a part of His Breast Cancer Awareness Inc's selfless and committed journey to the ultimate goal of a cure and eradication of male breast cancer and until that time, this organization forges ahead as an educator, informant, crusader and support system while bringing attention to the masses.

I've known Harvey Singer, founder of the HIS Breast Cancer Awareness organization for 25 years and the commitment and passion he continues to bring in his pursuit to educate and inform people about male breast cancer is remarkable. Truthfully, until Harvey was diagnosed and I began to learn more about male breast cancer, I had no idea that women didn't have the terrifying exclusivity on breast cancer. Two years ago, a very close family member of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was then that I realized that until it hits close to home, most people (MEN!) are indifferent (including me) when it comes to doing the necessary "check-ups" that they should be performing as a preventative measure. I would encourage everyone to visit www.hisbreastcancer.org to learn more and to learn how you can help, whether its through a donation or simply passing the information along to family members, friends, colleagues and associates. The site provides a tremendous amount of insight and education on Male Breast Cancer and it is worth everyone's time. Spread the word!

I did not realize that men could get breast cancer! I did not realize that men have breasts! My friend had a lump in his breast and we found this charities website. It all made sense and this website guided us not only on how and where to begin, but what to expect. By having this organization available for support my friend was diagnosed early and I'm certain the outcome is much better then it could have been. Not only was the life of my friend preserved as well as his dignity but his children were tested for the BRCA gene mutation. Unfortunately they tested positive, fortunately from the education this website and organization provided us, along with their support by email and direct phone calls from their founders, I am certain the lives of my friends children, too were saved.

When we were looking for a male survivor to write about his own breast cancer experience for Surviving Cancer: Our Voices & Choices, it was difficult to find a patient who was willing to do so. Rich Loreti came forward because he was determined to encourage other men regarding early detection.
HIS is a very effective organization, which encourages dialogue and shares pertinent information. This is imperative because men often get to their doctors too late, at a stage when the cancer has already progressed too far.
HIS can and will save lives.

HIS Breast Cancer Awareness has reached people all over the world and has helped so many to know they are not alone with a diagnosis of male breast cancer. From South Africa, to Ireland, to the United States, men are diagnosed with breast cancer and are looking for a place to turn for more information and support. Whether it's due to genetic mutation, environment or other health related causes, men are often diagnosed after the disease is much further progressed. HIS Breast Cancer Awareness helps with prevention and education for an earlier diagnosis and is helping to save lives! Hope you'll visit the web site at www.hisbreastcancer.org to learn more.

When I was approaching 35 years of age, I had my first baseline mammogram since I had a maternal aunt who had breast cancer along with a mastectomy. At 36, my mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer and I was reminded that it was time for my annual mammogram. One month following my mother, I too was diagnosed with breast cancer. Over a span of eleven years I had 3 positive breast cancer diagnosis, 5 surgeries on one breast, centinal lymph node tested and was treated with radiation and Tamoxifen.
After my last bout, I decided to go for genetic testing and was diagnosed with the BRCA2 gene mutation. I then had a full hysterectomy due to a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. Sharing this information with my husband, sons and brothers, at that moment it was obvious that all of our lives would change from this point forward. Although it is not "recommended" that my sons be tested for the gene until they are older and/or are ready to settle down and begin a family this does not mean we should ignore the obvious either. Having one of my brother's diagnosed with breast cancer and also test positive for the BRCA2 gene, as well as Prostate cancer 1.5 years later, Early detection through education is what will save lives! Male Breast Cancer is often diagnosed too late as no one is checking!
