Hello Dear Family,
I hope and pray this finds everyone as great as possible❤
Has anyone found anything better in the clothing to make the man boobs look not as big. Elgie had tried some years ago and was not comfortable in them. I was wondering if they've made anything better that someone here may have tried and are pleased with. He is feeling more self conscious lately.
Thanks so very much,
🌻Jackie
My Carhart Bib overalls seem to do the trick.. but then I live in small town (1200) in farming/logging area , so they look normal up here.
Carhart rocks. I’ve got a jacket from 1989. When I asked my uro about chopping the boys . He said “ who’s going to see it anyway”? Good day Shooter.
Gynecomastia Pills - hespac.com/gyno.htm ive been taking this product for about a year and not only have i got a more masculine chest, but also alot of excessive body fat.
Why not try to get rid of them with tamoxifen 20 mg/day?
Tamoxifen works. I stopped taking it because of the incremental side effects though. I’m scheduled for the radiation that Guitar mentioned.
Radiation doesn't work as well, and won't reverse what is already there.
Which side effects? If blood clots, you can get a transdermal tamoxifen that will not cause them.
What were the side effects stay positive?
For me it caused anxiety and irritability. I had a lot of starts and stops before I gave it up. I think it’s worth a try because it does work.
Boob radiation didn’t work for me plus they overcooked and now my moobs are pink.
Correction: it’s possible the radiation prevented more growth but hard to know.
Oh shoot
0oh N0!
What were your side effects to tamoxifen?
Really Tall Allen's? Is this a supplement?
Not a supplement. The doctor has to prescribe it.
Do you have a brand? It will take them away?
For the transdermal? A compounding pharmacy will make it to the doctor's prescription. 20 mg pills will take them away if they haven't settled in too long.
Thanks so much TallAllen!!!
They've settled in a long time now...
Once connective tissue forms, tamoxifen can no longer reverse it. A dermatologist can inject cortisone into it, which will dissolve the mammary tissue. If that doesn't work, scraping it out surgically is the only option.
Thank you TallAllen!!
If the man breasts are being caused by the cancer drugs talk with a radiologist oncologist. there is something they can do to stop the process from getting worse but not reverse anything. It has worked for me.
Hey guitar! So , you were radiated for this? How did that go for you?
Yes, 3 short sessions to each breast. That has stop any further development because the drugs. It won’t decrease or reverse what was there already.
Anything to help! Great job. Mine really don’t bother me much yet😷👍
I think mine are pectoral muscle(soft),
Thank you guitar. He's upset with the size already. He's thinking of zapping.
My best to Elgie! A man-zeer..? Brozeer? I hope that he’s not like meatloaf in fight club.? I think I’m working only on an a-cup myself. I try to stay covered to spare the wife the visual details of my demise. Self esteem and my ego flew out the window long ago for me. I don’t look into mirrors . I avoided my own reflection. Much love to you❤️
His are growing. He knows he should have had the radiation zap long ago. It doesn't bother me, it bothers him. Hugs LuLu.
For what it's worth, my radiation oncologist was not a fan of irradiating breasts to avoid gynecomastia. He suggested eventual surgery if they really bothered me.
I figured if the guy who makes money administering radiation wasn't in favor of that, I'd agree with him.
Yeah, I haven't experienced this problem yet, tho' I'm doing yoga & gym to move everything around
Hmm... Hey Jackie,
I'm crazy and maybe obsessed about my attire and "looks" at age 72 and (many members of the forum may think I'm just plain crazy😋)
So, need a few details:
Age, height, waist, weight and most importantly, your desired fashion "look"
Here is a pic of me last winter"
Now this is after HDR Brachy, 25 days of IMRT, Casodex, lupron, Zytiga and prednisone!
Now in my humble opinion, I'm the essence of "cool" (its in my DNA!)
However, "Darling wife of 48 years", refers to me, occasionally, as a real ahole!🤔
Hmm...
Yeah, you look great westof! You might want to drop the denim and go with Prana skinny blacks & a pair of Adidas Gazelles.Your wife is worried you got too much. street cred.
significance of spray can? have man boobs? ifso, looks like bulky sweatshirt works well?
The photo came from a 2020 post re: Covid garb:
"So, here is my self defense kit:
1) Multiple N 95 masks.
2) Thin winter left hand glove (for opening doors), which I continually spray with...
3) Seventh Generation disinfectant. It claims to kill 99.99 germs and viruses and its not caustic, like Lysol. One day I made the mistake of opening a door with my RIGHT hand!😧 I just gave it a short spritz and went on my merry way.
Now, I don't post often (reply a lot) and if you don't hear from me in the next few weeks...
Just chalk it up to another failed experiment 😢."
No man boobs. At the time of my dx (3 years ago) my weight was 168.
It dropped to 161 during ADT and is now 154 after I tapered off Z & P in January.
Really had some questions about that photo, until I read your answers. Yes, you are the essence of cool.
Looke like graffiti artiste
Hmm... Hey BW, very astute observation!
Only problem is that I'm lacking in any artistic talent.
You’re not crazy . Just occasionally ? That’s not bad. Dmso is taking my thumb tendon pain down! Thank God!
DMSO rocks! After just a week, my aching hands, are almost as good as they were 10 years ago!
Bueno! 😎
What's DMSO LuLu....I have severe thumb and hand pain.
dimethyl sulfoxide gel formula is what I use. Also liquid available. Sorry, not approved for human use. Horse meds work well if not ingested (JMHO).
Hey Shooter, I use NO Odor 99.995% Pharma Grade liquid DMSO. I get a roll on applicator from Amazon (DMSO store).
WebMD goes into great depth explaining:
webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingre...
Here is an interesting review from WebMD:
"I grew up on a ranch in the 1950's and we always had DMSO in the barn, because it is HORSE LINAMENT! Having four generations all living on the ranch at the same time, I was not aware that as my relatives got older, they began putting 12 drops under their tongue, twice a day (which is what I have done, since my mid-30's). My great grand-father told me that he took it like that because it kept his arteries soft and pliable (no plaque or clots), plus, it just made him feel better. He was 110 when he died of natural causes and all of the old-timers in my family lived to their mid-90's. His wife, my great-grandmother died from complications of a broken hip, when she was 101. None of the old-folks in my family died of cancer or any type of disease. The ranch is still in my family, and for those who don't live there anymore, I am sure they did not use DMSO, because they have died in their mid-80's and only a few in their early 90's. Look on the label, if it says USP, then it is as safe as any health-store supplement with the same rating. I am sharing this, here, only to inform of it's effects to me and my family. Live long and prosper!"
Hmm... YMMV!😃
Is that the stuff years ago people had to go to Mexico to get for rheumatoid arthritis
No, its been around for awhile:
"DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a by-product of paper making. It comes from a substance found in wood. DMSO has been used as an industrial solvent since the mid-1800s. From about the mid-20th century, researchers have explored its use as an anti-inflammatory agent"
You can buy it on Amazon. There is a frankincense dmso topical cream. I got it last week.It’s melting tendon pain in my thumb ..it can dissolve pain👏👍
There is an operation that they remove the tissue that both men & women have to produce the Boobs. Is costly but is permanent.
Ouch!😳
Just a minor speed bump in the PCa road! Since it's summer all year long here in Thailand I never wear a shirt while in my condo and none of my friends even notice them anymore!
Ronron I left my ego in the dumpster when I chopped the boys. Man tits . No biggie. Now if I get Double DD’s then it’s an issue. I see e-2 and maybe even t in my future. ?? Take care Amigo!
A set of good suspenders will tamp down his profile and hold his pants up in the bargain.
😂👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve thought about suspenders. Never had a pair. 🧐. I have a lump of coal for a prostate and hate anything around my abdomen.🧐
A single radiation to each breast before starting ADT is the way to go to avoid the problem altogether.
Seinfield Solution
The fabled Manzier? Hilarious indeed! 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
Losing as much body fat as possible and gaining strength and fitness, along with the tamoxifen is his best solution. Side effects are not likely at all.
Called gynocomastia there are compression under shirts that are made for this purpose. I had this years ago and had plastic surgery to remove them. It was covered by BC/BS
Yeah it sucks having a woman’s body but this is where weight training is so crucial….
Man boobs aren’t bothering me yet. My wife says they don’t bother her other than making her jealous because of their perkiness.😃
🤣🤣🤣
I wear Magellan fisherman’s shirt. They seem to be covering them up good so far.
Thanks Atlas Jack!!
I went to Costa Rica in 2012 to have my little titties taken out. Looked horrible on a slender guy. It cost me around three thousand including travel. Very good result at a top notch cosmetic surgery facility. I enjoyed some tourism while I was there. It's a 45 minute procedure and plastic surgeons up here wanted $15K, insurance doesn't pay. Women get all the breast cosmetic surgery they want after cancer. Not fair. So effectively I've had a double mastectomy . . . 😀 btw, tamoxifen and breast bud radiation were of no help for me.
I hear that radiation treatment will reduce this issue.
I have found that the Duluth Trading "No-Yank Shelf Bra Tank" works great as an undershirt. Everything is stable and minimized with it. It just reads under clothing like a regular tank-style t-shirt. You just have to get over the words associated with the garment!
Just beginning to have the same issue. ADT for 8 months. Check this information site; cancernetwork.com/view/comp... Sounds like there are various possible 'treatments' , some more likely to cause additional problems,--- or expenses. I will ask my oncologists .
Screw more treatments .....they are my cancer freak flag.....if my kneck was more flexible....just thinkin.....ooops
When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather (CSNY).
Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car . But now I don't have to worry cuz I got my medical card
Yes and no ha.When I applied for medical a bad thought came that when they run my plates my legal status shows up so they will assume I am stoned.
Just paranoia still on my part.
Side note. Several years ago I inherited a car from my son. Nice ride. Decked out with the wheels, tires, tuned exhaust, tinted windows etc.
Told a friend at work I liked it but worried its cop bait.
He said "No. They see you and just go " Oh, old guy ".
🤣🤣🤣
My man boobs look even better now with a double tunneled catheter hanging it's red and blue tips down over my right breast. .and the nice purple line under my skin up to my neck's jugular vein. Don't hardly see the boobs at all.
Just wear a loose fitting shirt!
