MONROE, Ohio– An Ohio husband and wife are both undergoing treatment for breast cancer in a case that illustrates how the disease can strike both sexes.

Mike and Barbara Welsh of Monroe in southwestern Ohio each had surgery this year after separate discoveries that they had breast cancer.

Barbara, 63, had surgery in January, went through chemotherapy and is now starting radiation treatments.

After surgery in July, her sixty-two-year-old husband is determining the next step in his recovery, which may include chemotherapy and radiation. He had a modified radical mastectomy on his right breast.

Mike Welsh says he is speaking up about his cancer to make other men aware that breast cancer is not just something that strikes women.

“If I could help 10 people or 100, that’s a start,” said Welsh, a retired AK Steel bricklayer.

Male breast cancer is still rare, with about 1,900 cases expected to be diagnosed this year, with about 44 men dying from the illness.

Mike Welsh first noticed something was wrong when he got into his car and felt discomfort as he strapped the seat belt across his chest.

After his wife began her treatments, he asked his doctor if men could get breast cancer.

They say that an 18-year-old Smithtown woman reported that she was approached by a woman at the mall claiming to be a fortune teller on Sept. 7. After initial readings that cost $25 and $100, two days later police say the fake psychic told the Smithtown woman she was cursed.

After a $600 down payment, the fake psychic gave the woman a stone and a Ziploc bag of body wash.
