My answer to Mastectomy

I was self conscious immediately after my Mastectomy but as I got used to it I noticed, in the pool, no one even noticed it. The biggest hurdle was Tamoxofin and its side effects. It did put me in touch with my feminine side.

Hi Joe, I had my “manstectomy” Dec. 21 2016. My wife and I going down south to Cuba next week for 25th anniversary. I am very hesitant to be swimming and walking around with no shirt.

I agree with you, Tamoxifen is a nasty drug.

Relax, I promise you that you will be the only one who notices your missing boob. If you are truly concerned simply stuff something in your package area. They will be so focused on your groin they will not look anywhere else. LoL. Let me know how it worked..🤔😂

Good for you. Cancer and its treatments does change our body. I think that a manstectomy is among the most difficult to adept to. I am really happy that you have been able to adjust.
