“I tried to join a support group on Facebook.”

A man who was diagnosed with breast cancer says he was made to feel ‘isolated and lonely’ after an online support group declined his membership because of his gender.

According to charity Prevent Breast Cancer, just 390 men are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK. McCallion, who has two sons, builder, Ryan, 27, and communications professional, Liam, 25, with his carer wife, Julie, 54, is now keen to break taboos surrounding male breast cancer, which has seen other men questioning his masculinity.

McCallion was referred to Greater Manchester’s Royal Oldham Hospital on July 10, 2019, David was not ‘overly concerned.’When McCallion was told that there was a 99 per cent chance it was going to be cancer. David’s first thought was how he was going to tell his family.McCallion went back to the hospital with his wife a few days later to find out more.
