QuoteATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- It started with a pain behind the nipple. Within a few weeks, a lump started to grow. It got bigger and more painful until a doctor finally diagnosed stage 4 breast cancer. It's a story shared by thousands around the United States, only in this case, the patient's name is Bill Morley.He's lived with breast cancer for two and a half years, and his fight for survival hasn't been easy. The disease has now spread to his bones. He says, "The first thing anyone thinks when they're told they have cancer is, 'OK, can I survive it or not?' and as bad as I felt, I just figured I wasn't going to survive it."About 450 men die from breast cancer each year. Even though more than 2,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year in the United States, the disease is considered rare among men. Breast cancer is 100 times more common among women.
