Steve Mosher, 58, breast cancer, Sandwich, with Dr. Erica Mayer, MPH, Breast Oncology Center, Dana-Farber

Steve was out golfing with a few of his friends on a cold December day on the Cape. During his round, he noticed a bump on his left side that he showed to his wife when he got home. He booked an appointment with his primary care doctor shortly thereafter, just before Christmas in 2016. After a few tests, Steve was completely floored to discover he had stage 4 breast cancer. He underwent a mastectomy shortly thereafter. He also came to Dana-Farber and to Dr. Erica Mayer for a second opinion. The subsequent treatment plan that Dr. Mayer sketched out for Steve just felt right to him and he decided to switch his care to Dana-Farber. Breast cancer in men is quite rare, only 1 out of 100 cases of breast cancer in the US are found in men. While he is still living with a serious illness Steve is doing great today and “like a million bucks.” He comes to Dana-Farber from Sandwich every three weeks for treatment. Steve travels a lot now with his wife visiting national parks and other spots he wishes he got to sooner.
