I am truly touched to read these posts. I did not have ADT with my radiation treatments. However, I was not able to exercise (bike riding) as much during treatments and also began what I call sympathy eating to feel better.

I gained 30 lbs over the 30 treatments of proton radiation that took 7 weeks to do. My chest area and breast seemed to be the spot for most of my weight to go to. And developed what you posted man boops. I am ashamed about them and truly embarrassing.

I am trying to lose weight have lost 20 lbs. However the opposite is now where the fat is coming off. Not the chest but legs and waist. Started doing weight training, back to swimming, bike riding, on Nutrisystem and my worst concern is the embarrassment of having boops. I know how you feel guys and I did not even have ADT.

I feel your pain. Instead of being too embarrassed about my new reality I just joke about it with my friends. Many can relate even though they aren't PC patients.
The good thing for me is that my body hair is coming back and the chest hair is coming back very thick. There's just more surface to cover now that there was before ADT.
