Acceptance / Re: There's acceptance......and acceptance

Thanks oldguy, 
It’s been nice because the move this year in the heat & fires & ash took its toll on my body. The settling out was one less thing to deal with. Have not had any breast pain either for a year. 

Start round 2 next week of scans, mammogram, MRI & labs to evaluate the stability of the ‘stew’, feeling good. Especially since I was removed from prednisone 2 weeks ago.

Have not seen any propensity for more growth for a while.

Hey Bob,

Good to hear your hormonal stew is on simmer.

I have shared my story here before, but for new members, I will summarize.

Shortly after retirement 15 years ago, I noticed pain and sensitivity in my breasts.  I figured that it was part of my exercise regime. My breasts were growing but not like pecs.  After 18 months, I visited our family doctor.  He said something was going on and referred me to a breast surgeon.  He prescribed a mammogram and I was diagnosed with Gynecomastia.  They continued to grow to a B/C over the next 5 years.  His PA recommended support.  Then everything settled down.  About 4 years ago, I had another growth episode to a solid C.  They have been steady since then.

I'm still able to manage their appearance with bralettes and sports bras.  Summer is more difficult as they need support while hiking and walking, and are more noticeable.

I grow a beard every year while in Alaska for a month. 

I think it's like shaving a beard.  The first shave is the hardest.  It gets better after that.

They look great shaved. Likely look even better in a nice bra!

Thank you! I will post pics in bra when I find one that actually fits.

Sounds like it started out as gynecomastia and now they want them a bit bigger.
