Ok so I had RP in 2014, which recurred 3 years later and I underwent HT plus RT in 2018
been undetectable since but the Bicalutamide was murder, alongside the fact that my Onco refused to prescribe me Tamoxifen at the outset as I feared that I would grow breast (which I did, was raging at her tbh)
she cautiously and gradually gave me weekly 10mg doses until my GP put me on daily 20mg dose which stopped the pain and tenderness but was too late to stop the moobs growing.
i was patient after HT stopped, exercised, was slim but they stayed. Then I asked for the breast reduction surgery that I knew I would be able to get - 20 month waiting list and I had the operation on Monday
it was brutal I might add, more painful that the prostate OP and the bruising on my chest is bad, but although it’s only a few days I am so glad I did it, it’s flatter, no largish breasts or tissue and looking more like I used to. Obviously it’s early days and I need to wait 3 months to see overall effect but I can go back to wearing non-dark t shirts again and maybe even be able to go topless at the beach again
happy (but painful) days
