Breast Cancer Awareness... Dont Forget The Men! Touching Stories From Male Breast Cancer Survivors.

Breast cancer... the silent killer among men


As we mark the breast cancer awareness this month, WomenStyles are here to honour and remember those that lost the battle, even as we encourage and support those who are currently fighting it and we pledge to create awareness on the fatal disease.

Focusing on men, here are two touching stories about 2 men and their experience with the fatal disease:

A male breast cancer patient. If diagnosed late, cancer is fatal

My name is Alfred Nyeko. I am aged 48, and have four children. I vividly recall the fateful evening in May 2010. As I put off my shirt, I noticed a swelling on my right breast. I ignored it, hoping it would clear on its own, but the next morning it was still there.

Though not painful, I was uncomfortable, so I consulted my neighbour, who is a senior medical officer.
He advised me to go to St Mary’s Hospital Lacor in Gulu, Uganda for a check-up, saying one should never ignore a swelling in the breast.

The doctor at Lacor recommended a biopsy (an examination of tissues from a body part to determine the existence or cause of a disease).

I got the results after two weeks; I had a clean bill of health, which restored my hope. However, the doctor was not convinced and ordered for a repeat of the biopsy, which was done early in September.

Two weeks later, the results were released. The report revealed I had cancer of the breast. I was so worried as I had never thought I would suffer from cancer, moreover of the breast! Besides, we do not have a history of cancer in my family.

STYLEWATCH: Choosing Necklines That Suit Your Face shape, Body type And Bust size


Wearing a garment with the wrong neckline can ruin your entire look. The type of neckline you need depends on: face shape, body type, and bust size.


Type of necklines:



Here are some simple rules that will allow you to choose the most suitable necklines: 

Face Shape:
-People with oval and well proportioned face are able to wear almost any style of neckline successfully.
-If your face is long and narrow, choose necklines that are wider and more shallow, to draw the eye to the horizontal and make your face appear wider.
-On the other hand, if your face is wider and rounder, a neckline that has a stronger vertical shape will help to balance your overall look.
The concept here is balance. You want to choose a neckline style to balance your features and help you look more in proportion.

Body Type:



Following along on the theme of balance, you again want to select a neckline that will balance your overall appearance.
-Women who are average in build should be able to wear most every neckline style with equal ease.
-Large-framed women should look for necklines that stress a more vertical line. Vee necks, scoop necks, sweetheart necklines, Queen Anne and empire necklines can all look good. Even portrait necklines can be flattering as long as the neckline dips sufficiently to provide an elongating effect.
-Small-framed women should look for necklines that will offer a widening effect. The bateau, Sabrina, portrait, crew neck, vee neck and jewel necklines will help to make the narrower build appear wider.

Bust Size:
-Women with moderately-sized busts and average shoulder width should be comfortable with any of the listed neckline styles.
-A small busted woman with narrow shoulders should consider choices like the bateau, Sabrina and portrait necklines, as well as the sweetheart and Queen Anne styles.
-Broad-shouldered and big-busted women should choose styles like the empire, Queen Anne and lower-cut portrait necklines as well as scoop neck, cowl neck and vee neck style.

Sheila Bailey Eubank, San Antonio Woman, Accused Of Faking Own Kidnapping To Skip Work, Get Some Attention



A Texas woman is accused of faking her own abduction because she wanted more attention and a day off from work, according to authorities.

Police in San Antonio found Sheila Baley Eubank, 48, bound by rope in the back seat of her car. Eubank told authorities that an unidentified man kidnapped her at knifepoint as she drove up to an ATM machine. Eubank insisted that the man forced her to chauffer him around the city for apparent drug deals.

The police uncovered a different story.

Thinking it was her lucky day, Eubank in fact spent her time off purchasing a lottery ticket from a gas station. Her fortune was unfavorable, however, as surveillance footage later revealed a "healthy, unhurried and pleasant" Baley withdrawing cash from the ATM and purchasing lottery tickets, the San Antonio Express News reports.

When police showed her the tapes of the Oct. 10 incident, Eubank confessed to fabricating the story, according to the Associated Press. Detectives also found a lottery ticket in her purse, bought at approximately the same time and date when Eubank claimed she was abducted.

Local reports do not specify what Eubank does for a living. She is charged with aggravated perjury.
