Same faulty ‘Jolie’ gene
MIKE Greenhalgh, diagnosed in 2014, initially dismissed the two lumps he found in his chest having never come across a case of male breast cancer in 27 years as GP.
He later found that three of his four siblings – including his identical twin brother Bill – had all inherited the same faulty gene that made Angelina Jolie choose to have a double mastectomy.
Dr Greenhalgh, from Northamptonshire, also underwent a double mastectomy and is on a course of Tamoxifen.
The 61-year-old said :‘I was shocked, just staggered, when told it was breast cancer.’
