Boob Pic!

After 40 months of successful ADT using transdermal estradiol gel (tE2) my ONLY side effect is a bit of gynecomastia. I took this pic today and I'm not embarrassed to wear pullover shirts.

Hi Ron,

Christ, I wouldn’t be embarrassed either! You look great. You’re a positive testimonial to using tE2 gel and managing gynecomastia with exercise and clean living. Good for you.

Stay healthy and happy,

Jeff

Ron,

You’re 78 years old, look much younger, and are in great shape. You’ve survived sixteen years with PC. You appear to be living a wonderful healthy life on the water with your wife/significant other. Who cares about man boobs at this point? You’ve been blessed; just enjoy it.

E2-Guy in reply toDett

Thank you so much Dett for your flattering reply! My absolute best to your husband and you. Yes, I thank the good Lord every day for allowing me to still enjoy life after my urologist at Baylor who performed my biopsy 17 years ago gave me 'about' five years.

Cheers!

Ron

Now wait a minute! Was that meant to be a compliment?

So happy to hear that the tE2 gel is helping. Stay strong.

Nice rack! But you look 58

E2-Guy in reply toSurvivor1965

Johnny,

Thanks for the backhanded "rack" compliment, and the "58" one which is really pushing it; however, I'll graciously accept both!

I'm hoping things will improve for you...sounds like you've been through hell and back.

Ron

Thanks buddy! We need to keep our humor thru this right. For everything I’ve been thru you wouldn’t notice it if you met me, except the weight gain and the moobs.

Gonna have fun in the boat until I hit the waterfall!

Peace

You're right Johnny...you (and your wife) look great! I believe having a positive attitude makes a difference.

Hey ronronHU!

The men that have never had prostate cancer and can't drive past the donut shops without a 1,500 calorie "designer coffee" and "a couple of those too", (500 calorie, deep fried or 'healthy' muffins in which predominant ingredient is sugar", the men that supersize for lunch or whatever then eat a quart of ice cream while watching the tube make you look slim and trim!

Keep it up Pal! You look fine getting some vitamin D! Nothing like a little ocean. I crewed on a sailboat that qualified to compete in the national championships in 83.

Thank you Currumpaw for taking the time to send your reply.

Never was a coffee & donut guy, nor a drinker or a smoker; however, I do enjoy an ice cream bar occasionally.

Wishing you the very best!

Ron

Thank you ronronHU!

As for ice cream, becoming a vegan meant some made from almonds or cashews then I found some ice "cream" made from avocados--oh yeah! Tom Brady is onto something!

I try to only eat it if I will have a high activity level afterwards to burn some calories.

Keep doing what you have been. The fact is, whoever said we are our own worst critics had some decent observational skills. Some heavily degreed 'shrink' no doubt! LOL!

E2-Guy in reply to33Ford

Thank you! I wouldn't mind having some of your weight. Tried to gain weight my entire life with working out and consuming huge meals, but never got above 173 lbs.

Thank you for the compliments! My E2 levels have been fluctuating for the last couple of years between 145 to 255; my last was 220. Boob growth was fairly rapid during the first year (also some degree of sensitivity); however, both gradually ceased in less than two years. As for the use of Tamoxifen, TA recommends it, while Richard Wassersug questions using anything that counteracts the effects of the tE2. In my case, I don't use it since boobs at my age are not a big deal, plus the fact that it may be too late to start since I don't think it will reduce what is already there.

My best to you,

Ron
