Impact on social activity

Having surgery and treatment may affect your ability to participate in some physical activities. It may take time to adjust to not being able to play sport or being as active as you were before having breast cancer. This is temporary and most men will be able to participate in sport and other social activities after a period of time. Talk to your doctor about what you can/can’t do.

“I haven’t stopped playing golf, can only play 9 holes instead of 18 but I still play.”

“I’ve lost a bit of strength in my arms, and can’t reach as high as I used to, but I still play tennis, still play squash, no worries at all”
