I am not male, so there is that but I felt a strange but not painful around the nipple area for about a year before I felt the lump.
I am hoping that one of these gents will chime in.
@malebreastcancer47 look forward to hearing from members like @northoftheborder @scottbeammeup @verol65 @katehedderich @mpirruccel @dick61
Have you mentioned this to your doctor yet?

@auntieoakley Never felt any pain but did feel a large lump near my left breast early one morning that startled me and awakened me from a half sleep state!! Tumor was large but not painful.
@auntieoakley I do not have breastcancer. I wonder why I was tagged here.

@auntieoakley Thanks for tagging me. I do get sensitivity in my breasts (no lumps), but that's a normal side-effect of the long-term hormone treatment for my stage 4 prostate cancer (it also causes growth of breast tissue, or gynocomastia).
Since my metastasis was on my thoracic spine behind the breasts, I get frequent imaging in that area (MRI and CT, both with contrast dye), so I trust that if I developed breast cancer, I'd get an early warning.
Best of luck to everyone dealing with this disease. Breast cancer in people born with testacles (rather than ovaries) is a much underreported and misunderstood disease. 🫂
