6 Male Celebrities Who Were Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Ernie Green, a fullback with the Cleveland Browns from 1962 to 1968, discovered a lump in his chest in 2005, but was told not to worry by a doctor, due to the rarity of male breast cancer.

Green got a second opinion, and a mammogram and biopsy revealed that it was indeed cancer.

Did He Survive? Yes. He received a mastectomy, as well as eight sessions of chemotherapy, and he has been cancer-free since 2006.
