Résumé :	Introduction The prevalence of cancer is increasing and, with enhanced early detection and treatment, survival rates have also improved. During cancer treatment and survivorship, occupational participation is significantly impacted, with leisure affected. This field has attracted limited research interest however, particularly involving men with colorectal cancer. Symptoms including cancer-related fatigue and pain may reduce ability to engage in usual leisure occupations. Method A qualitative narrative study was conducted to enhance understanding of leisure participation during and following cancer treatment. In-depth interviews were undertaken with four men with colorectal cancer attending for review at a specialist cancer centre. Audio-recorded interview data were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Results All men interviewed reported significant disruption to their usual leisure occupations. Participants described participating in passive leisure occupations during treatment over more active or community-based occupations due to challenges such as having a colostomy bag and fatigue. The men described generally returning to their chosen leisure occupations and the significance this held for their wellbeing. Conclusion Given the impact of colorectal cancer on participation in leisure occupations for men, occupational therapists can assist these men to either resume previous leisure occupations or commence alternative leisure occupations to improve their quality of life.
