A 43-year-old man in Singapore who thought he was having rashes on his chest subsequently died of breast cancer.
Han Ming Shou, who died on Tuesday, had initially found a tiny growth on his left chest almost two years ago but chose to ignore it, said his 38-year-old sister, known only as Miss Han.
Nanyang Siang Pau quoted her as saying that her brother woke up one morning and found a large patch of blood on his bed.
He went to the hospital for check-up about five months ago and was diagnosed with third stage breast cancer. The cancer cells had spread to his bones and lung.
