Mark Larsen’s voice might sound familiar to you.

He spent decades on the radio in Tampa, hosting his own talk show before he said things got heavily political on the airwaves.

“In the '90s, it was general talk. Everybody was invited to the table,” Larsen said.

Retired life has been great for Larsen until July, when a day after playing golf, he felt what he thought was a pulled chest muscle.

“I took some ibuprofen for a couple of days, and when that subsided, it consolidated right here, and I felt a lump. And it was about the size of a ping pong ball,” Larsen said.

Larsen went to the internet for answers and thought maybe he just had a cyst. But it didn’t go away.

He also has a family history of cancer, so Larsen went to his doctor.

“She booked me for a mammogram, and that’s all she wrote. I had a breast tumor. Stage 2," he said.

Dr. John Kiluk specializes in breast cancer at Tampa’s Moffitt Cancer Center. He said only 1% of breast cancer cases are men.

“I think most people don’t think that’s a possibility because guys don’t have breasts," Kiluk said. "But actually, there is breast tissue there, and that can develop breast cancer."

The BRACA gene mutation known to cause breast cancer runs in Larsen's family. He and his brother both have it.

“We never gave it a second thought because we are guys," he said. "When you are pulling up all these testimonials online, the guys are saying, 'Yeah, I thought I might have it, but I’m a guy I’m not going to get it.'"

What does male breast cancer look like? Male Breast Cancer is more likely to be Oestrogen Receptor Positive and also more likely to be HER2 Negative.

When someone has been diagnosed with cancer, treatment is usually targeted to two main areas.
The first area that we need to treat where the cancer has been found, for example, breasts.
The second area that we need to treat is the rest of the body.

Breast health has become an important topic for both women and men. But with a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information out there, it can be hard to find the advice, support and care that you need.


My Breast My Health was created to make understanding breast health easy. Whether you’re looking to learn how to keep your breasts healthy, concerned about new symptoms or learning to live post-diagnosis, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.
