    Thanks EnglishMajor for this!  I think his idea about a pink ribbon with a blue stripe or dot makes so much sense!  How else will public awareness about the potential for MALE breast cancer will happen unless the public is faced with the prospect on a regular basis -- that breast cancer CAN hit a man as well as a women... the blue mark brings our focus back to that!   I know I'm going to start using it.. since my father passed away from breast cancer and as his daughter I know that my doc's were VERY concerned about my potential to go from DCIS to Stage IV in a blink of an eye.. of course there really isn't any research that suggests that it is just their own ignorant prejudice and perhaps their own fear...

    Hey everybody,

     The John W Nick foundation has a  ribbon for Males.  It is pink in front, and fades to blue for the other leg of the ribbon.  I know because it was one of the first sites I ended up on when I was diagnosed.
