ok im noot trying to insult touch anyones nerves here.. merely asking for some help on homework =)
iv had to do a lifestyle questionaire.. and fiill it out (as a made up person)
and then we could write about it
i decided i want my guy to have had breast cancer.
HAD = past tense... therefore he doesnt have it anymore
would this issure affect how he excersizes? or any of his everyday life?

You found the right person to ask about this...

My father is a breast cancer survivor. He had a cyst beneath his nipple and it was cancerous. In men, breast cancer usually has worse survival rates, partly because of the limited tissue for the cancer to grow (no real breast tissue) so it is more invasive more quickly to the other organs, etc.

I don't know the current statistics, but thousands of men get breast cancer diagnosed every year.

My father ended up with 2 surgeries, both were considered full mastectomies, and they remove lymph nodes and muscle tissue as well as fatty tissue in the area, just like with a woman.

So, in recovery, issues with arm and chest muscle strength are an issue, as well as swelling of the arms, armpit areas because of excess lymph fluid that may have less glands to hold it.

Is that helpful and what you needed? It has been many years since his surgery, and he has had a full recovery, physically, he has full mobility of both arms and all the muscles work as before, basically.

Please don't hesitate to ask more questions, and I appreciate your good rating!
