New to the group

hi im New to this forum

i am male in the uk

im looking to hear about other peoples experience with Male Breast Cancer 

got a shock today thought i was going to the breast surgeon to see if he can help me reduce my breasts due to old age and low testosterone etc

But while examining me he felt my chest then the next thing ? He says yes you have a lump and its probably caused by your medication called doxazosin taken for enlarged prostate and high blood pressure 

when i researched the drug it says its linked to breast cancer in men?

now i nervously await a mammogram and an ultrasound 

has any one else had experience with man boob problems and medication and mammograms  etc 

many thanks tony 

  • Hello Tony

     

    I just wanted to say hello . What a shock you've had! 

     

    I have been through breast cancer treatment in 2013.i'm female but there always seemed to be one man in clinic . 

     

    I hope you have support.  Waiting for scans results is one of the worst things. When you know what you're dealing with and have a plan it's better.

     

     

    Take care and let us know how you get on

     

    Best wishes

    Connie
