Having had this embarrassing thing is something that has bothered me for decades. I tend to have fat accululate in the breast area and very embarrasing. I know weight loss would help but went through proton radiation treatment in 2023 and gain a lot of weight because had reverted to eating a lot of comfort food.

I then was having some issues with my heart failure and my HFD put me on a drug that made my breast swell, hurt especially my nipples. I read up about it and sure enough the side affects of this drug causes them. Just what I needed more, bigger breast. He changed my medication that has a lot less side affects.

I just don't want anymore radiation and the heart medications I am on is important. I read your post and you have an outstanding doctor, ton of experience and a caring one. That is hard to find this days.
