Sean Cooper is a really wonderful man - a brave man - who has faced male breast cancer and survived. Diagnosed in May 2007, his first thoughts were for his family and how they would get by if he were not there to provide for them. He was greatly supported by his wife and children, which helped him through this experience: "the love for my family, my love of life and wanting these to continue for years to come." Sean Cooper talks about his diagnosis and treatment, as well as how he dealt with his emotions.

Radiation to the breast is meant to give the maximum dose to a tumor, or tumor bed, while doing the least harm to your healthy tissue. You and the radiation beam must be in the right position during each treatment for the best results. But if radiation is accidentally aimed at healthy tissue, or if the dose is significantly higher than you need, it can affect your quality of life as well as your chances of long-term survival after completing treatment. The DVS (Dose Verification System) implantable dosimeter helps your radiology team accurately measure how much radiation your tissue absorbs during each treatment. Learn more about the DVS dosimeter.
