6 Male Celebrities Who Were Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

In 2012, talk show host and television personality Montel Williams appeared on the Dr. Oz show to talk about his emotional eating, which began after a very traumatic event when he was 19.

While serving as a U.S. Marine, he was diagnosed with breast cancer and received a double mastectomy. Only later was it discovered that he simply had a torn pectoral muscle and the entire surgery was completely unnecessary.

Did He Survive? Yes. And despite being "butchered" by his surgeons (his word), he re-discovered his self-esteem with weightlifting.
