Mr. Phibunwat Yangsuk Age 59 years, Director of Sakon Nakhon Rice Research Center. Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives Gave an interview to Khaosod that Most men think that breast cancer is a disease that occurs only in women. I myself am one of them. Until I had breast cancer last year. Therefore, I would like to warn men that if there are hard lumps around the breast area, do not be complacent. Please go see a doctor to get it checked out.

Their cancer symptoms began with a hard lump under the right nipple. At first I didn't feel any pain. I think it's just a normal tumor or cyst. You can wait until you have some free time and go see a doctor. Later, while driving, it started to hurt. So I went to see a doctor at the clinic. Which was given medicine to take for about 3 weeks to make the lump shrink, but it didn't shrink, so went to see a doctor at Srinakarin Hospital, Khon Kaen. When we got to the hospital, they collected a sample of tissue for a thorough examination, which took 2-3 weeks. On October 19, 2017, an appointment was made.
Mr. Phibunwat said the doctor recommended surgery. But there is no queue. There will be a queue around December 2017, so I talked with the doctor to have the surgery outside of hours. Agree to pay your own expenses. Then surgery was performed on October 22, 2017 to remove the tumor. The doctor removed a total of 3 centimeters of the lump and then took a lymph node sample for examination. It appeared that the infection was still spreading. Therefore, several steps must be taken to treat cancer. Starting in December 2017, doing chemotherapy for a total of 8 times, the first time 4 times, spaced 3 weeks apart to allow the body to recover. After the white blood cells are destroyed Therefore, you must eat a lot of protein. Therefore, he had to eat egg whites.
Mr. Phibunwat further said that it took 7-8 months for chemotherapy to be completed last May. At that time, my body was in good shape and I gained 2-3 kilograms even though I couldn't eat. But I forced myself to eat. He eats everything because the doctor has not forbidden him to eat meat. And the nurse advised me to eat egg whites. to create protein Because red blood cells and proteins are destroyed. Later, the light was beamed every day, a total of 18 times, completed on August 10th.
“I have my second cancer for about 3 months before going for surgery. At that time, I didn't care. I just thought it was a normal cyst. But it feels abnormal. Because the lump has grown and the nipple is sunken, like it's being restrained abnormally. When the surgeon does surgery, he also removes the nipple. Doctors say only 1 in 1000 men will develop breast cancer. Most men will get liver cancer. Prostate cancer
Mostly 99% of women will have breast cancer. I myself don't know why I have breast cancer. None of my relatives had cancer. Now I have to take medicine. Resists the female hormone “estrogen” which must be taken for up to 5 years.”
