Rest in Peace, Brother.

We are all very sad to have lost one of the good guys on August 21, 2014. Our beloved friend, Peter, age 52, lost his battle with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. He was inspiring, a strong advocate who got the word out that “Men get Breast Cancer, too”, and shared that his breast cancer originated from exposure to toxic drinking water at Camp Lejeune, where he was stationed as a Marine for 2 years in his early 20’s, 30 years ago. He was one of 84 men from Camp Lejeune with breast cancer, the largest cluster in the US. We’ll keep the advocacy and fight going in his memory. Love to his lovely wife and daughter, family, friends and the thousands of people who were drawn to him. He was that special guy you wanted to learn more from and spend time with.

Men Get Breast Cancer, too.

Peter Devereaux 8-14-14 (2)Learn the story of a wonderful man, Peter, age 52, a veteran Marine who was diagnosed in 2008 with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. He is one of 84 men stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina with breast cancer; this is the largest male breast cancer cluster in the country.  Men should check their breasts monthly and should not have lumps, bumps, pain, swelling or redness.  Meet with your health care provider immediately, if you do.  His story is included in the book and the award winning documentary about the poisoning of generations at Camp Lejeune through contaminated ground water:

Look Good Feel Better comes to Support Group!

Support group facilitator Marie organized the Look Good Feel Better Program, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, to meet with members June 11, 2014.  This program provided support group members with personal makeup kits, individualized instruction for application, and help with wigs and scarves for those challenged by hair loss.  The Hope and Friendship MBC Foundation provided lunch from the Boston Chowder Company in North Andover.  Looking beautiful and feeling better, support group members enjoyed lunch and were ready to face the day!
