Male Breast Cancer Support

15/08/2026

An update from our founder, Paul.

To our wonderful community,

I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who supports this service, as well as the incredible folk at House of Hope Scotland and Breast Friends & Family for giving me so many opportunities to share my story, host support sessions, and raise important awareness of breast cancer in men.

Unfortunately, due to a number of circumstances, I have made the difficult decision to step back from all upcoming media and charity appearances over the coming weeks and months. Please don't worry - this isn't due to a recurrence of cancer, but rather managing the lasting effects of continuing treatment.

Taking care of ourselves has to come first, and I very much appreciate you all standing by me while I do just that.

Please rest assured that Male Breast Cancer Support is not stopping.

While I need to step back to rest and recharge, our core support service remains open. You can still reach out to me anytime via email and the helpline if you need support, a chat, or some guidance.

Thank you all so much for your understanding, kindness, and continued support.

With genuine gratitude,
Paul Steele
Male Breast Cancer Support.

What a way to raise awareness! Well done Alan. We can't wait to see the show!

A Different Perspective on Breast Cancer...

Join Alan Wake, creator and star of the Edinburgh Fringe show Manogram, for an informal conversation about the inspiration behind the show, the conversations it has sparked, and an audience Q&A.

Manogram tells the story of a man diagnosed with breast cancer, exploring surgery, treatment and side effects from a perspective that is rarely heard. It's an honest, humorous and moving look at love, friendship and finding moments of laughter through adversity.

Whether you've been impacted by breast cancer, are supporting someone who has, or are simply interested in hearing a different perspective, we'd love to welcome you.

📅 Tuesday 4th August
🕕 6.00–8.00pm
📍 House of Hope Scotland

This is a free event, but please book your place via our website: https://www.houseofhope.org.uk/courses/76/a-different-perspective-on-breast-cancer

We're also delighted to be offering tickets to see Manogram at the Edinburgh Fringe on Sunday 16th August at 3.45pm at The Caves. Tickets are available in exchange for a donation to the House of Hope, with all proceeds supporting our work.

I’m delighted to be attending a Wimbledon-themed Afternoon Tea Party Fundraiser tomorrow, as a guest of the fantastic charity Breast Friends and Family

​I'm so grateful for the invitation and honored to represent Male Breast Cancer Support at this event. It's an important reminder that no one has to face breast cancer alone.

​I’ll be sure to share updates tomorrow. Here’s to collaboration in raising awareness and supporting a great cause!

12 months ago today, this photo was taken right in the middle of my chemotherapy treatment for male breast cancer and I absolutely hate it!

Looking back at it now brings up a lot of memories, but more than anything, it reminds me of why its important to keep speaking out.

Guys, breast cancer doesn't discriminate. It isn't just a disease that affects women. I learned that lesson, and my message to anyone reading this today is simple:

Don't be like me. See your GP!

If you notice a lump, a change, or anything at all that doesn't feel right, please don't push it to the back of your mind. Don't wait, don't make excuses, and don't assume it's nothing.

Catching it early makes all the difference. I left it for 9 months before seeing a doctor! Im fortunate to still be here but I did need the full range of treatment to give me a fighting chance.

And that fight continues to this day!

To everyone who has supported me and our awareness work, or sent a kind word over the last year — thank you!

Let's keep sharing the message and breaking the stigma. It really could save a life. 🩵

Have a great day,
