Man Beats Stage Three Breast Cancer, Starts Support Group

A former joiner from Glasgow, Paul Steele, has established a new support service for men diagnosed with breast cancer following his own successful battle with the disease. Mr. Steele received his stage three diagnosis in March 2025 at Glasgow's Beatson Breast Cancer Clinic.

He initially delayed seeking medical attention for nine months, despite noticing symptoms like a lump and nipple changes in the summer of 2024. Prompt medical intervention after consulting his GP led to treatment, including a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, resulting in remission.

Recognizing the scarcity of male-specific breast cancer support groups, Steele, with encouragement from his partner, decided to create Male Breast Cancer Support. This voluntary service aims to offer emotional support and counselling to men across Scotland who are navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, addressing a significant gap in existing resources.
