At the age of seventeen Bret found a lump in his left breast, the year was 2003. He told Doctors “Don’t worry they said.” “These things happen, we will keep an eye on it.” Until one day, many years later, during an exam he asked specifically for the doctor to look at the lump. The doctor immediately suggested he go for a sonogram, but he didn’t think there was anything to be concerned about. The doctor who read the sonogram suggested Bret also have a mammogram. On April 27th, 2010 Bret’s lump was removed and his life’s goal and mission now is to spread the word to everyone, men & women, young & old, that breast cancer does not discriminate, it can happen to anyone at any age and to MEN too!
Ron Rapaport was a 72-year-old retired pharmacist living the dream on the Northeast coast of Florida. When, for a few months prior to December 2018 he noticed that his left breast nipple was retracting. He really did not pay it much attention…until his online research led him to make a doctor’s appointment that would forever change his life and turn Ron from an average person into one of the many heroes in the world who share the moniker survivor.
