PETER CRISS On Surviving Breast Cancer: I Am 'The Luckiest Man On The Planet'
October 15, 2009Madison Park of CNN.com reports: A year after beating breast cancer, Peter Criss, a founding member of the rock band KISS, calls himself "the luckiest man on the planet."
While some men feel embarrassed because of "this macho crap," Criss said surviving breast cancer — yes, men get it, too — was actually a blessing. He was treated before the tumor could spread and said he's speaking about male breast cancer now — during National Breast Cancer Awareness month — to raise the profile of this rare disease.
Criss, who played drums for KISS and was known as "Catman," offered this advice to men who spot lumps in their breast: "Don't sit around playing Mr. Tough Guy. Don't say 'It's going to go away.' It might not and you might not see life anymore and how beautiful that is."
