NEW Giles Cooper (left and right), 56, from Conderton, Gloucestershire, was diagnosed in 2014 with breast cancer - the same disease that killed his father Stephen (left inset) and uncle Christopher (right inset). Just 350 men are diagnosed with the form of cancer annually, compared to the 55,000 women that suffer from it each year. But in a desperate attempt to save his own life, the chartered surveyor had the operation that left him without nipples. He is now urging other men to check themselves regularly for lumps to prevent any unnecessary deaths.
