Hi there Montebuffo and thanks for the post

I am sorry to hear about your past diagnosis and treatment and the lack of support you seem to have had. This must have been a challenging few years for you navigating this time on your own.

Follow up after breast cancer in men can vary between patients as it will be based on the type, stage and treatment of the breast cancer and risk of it coming back. Some men will be seen for examination at regular intervals of 3-6 months for a few years after but for others it isn't unusual not to have scheduled appointments but rather open access to the clinic if they notice any changes or are worried.

I appreciate the latter can make people rather uneasy about not being monitored and to be concerned about something being missed.

I suggest speaking with a different GP at your surgery if you are struggling with all of this, they may be able to refer you back to the breast unit for an assessment which may put your mind at ease.

Alongside this you may find it helpful to reach out to Moobs a male breast cancer support charity or access the someone like me service offered by Breast Cancer Now ( think the website is down today due to maintenence) to get the peer support you need.

Do get back if you have more questions or feel free to give one of the nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

Best wishes

Naomi
