A retired nurse who was diagnosed with breast cancer says the treatment drugs left him with menopause-like symptoms - including hot flushes and dizzy spells. Mark Nock, 61, was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer after finding a lump in his chest following a mammogram and biopsy.
To treat the condition, which is rare in men, he underwent a mastectomy and was prescribed a cancer-treating drug which brought on symptoms similar to the menopause. Now, thankfully Mark is cancer-free - but is using his experience to encourage men and women to check themselves for breast cancer.
He said: “The moment I felt that lump I knew what it was, I can't explain it, I just knew. My lump was obvious, I could feel it through thick tunic, and it felt like a thick rubber polo mint.
