Since his diagnosis Doug Harper has bene on a mission to tell people about the condition.
A dad-of-five who was diagnosed breast cancer said he had no idea men could get the disease, and even his pharmacist was confused by the diagnosis.Since his diagnosis in 2012, the former Walthamstow print worker has spent the last decade telling people about the illness.
He continued: "It was tough for someone to say that in a full pharmacy. That’s the first time I said that sentence and I must’ve said it a million times since." He was quickly booked in for tests at the hospital, and was diagnosed with the disease three days before his 50th birthday. The dad-of-five, who now lives in South East London, sees 2012 as his cancer year, as after having chemo in spring he was declared cancer-free in mid-December.
