Wife and husband battling breast cancer

"Husband and wife both victims of breast cancer
Michael and Barbara Welsh, ages 62 and 63, use humor to fight the disease".


"Through 41 years of marriage, Michael and Barbara Welsh expected to share just about everything, for better or worse. But they never thought one of those things would be breast cancer.

The Ohio couple are a medical curiosity: a husband and wife both diagnosed with a disease far more common in women, but not unknown in men. They are using the publicity generated by their story to spread the word that breast cancer isn’t just a women’s disease.

“I didn’t know that men could get breast cancer,” Michael Welsh told TODAY’s Natalie Morales Friday in New York. “You see all the ads on TV, the women doing the monthly exams. You never see a man doing that. So how are we supposed to know?”

Michael was joined by his wife, a petite woman whose salt-and-pepper hair is starting to grow back now that she has completed her chemo and radiation treatments.

Is it me or is cancer - all cancers running rampant? I've never heard of so many deaths due to cancer one after another after another. I've talked about this to people I know, including my dentist who said, he thinks it's something in the air or the water. He said, cancer deaths will or have already surpassed heart disease.
