There are treatments that can help with gynecomastia. One option is a couple of shots of radiation to the breasts (see a radiation oncologist). The other is a drug called tamoxifen. These options cannot reverse breast growth but they can arrest it.

You are correct.
I just had three rounds of radiation to my breasts to prevent further growth when ADT resumes.
My situation is I had radiation to a lymph node on my right lung. That radiation had the side effect of reduced breast growth of my right breast. If I did nothing my left breast would have grown much larger than my right one when the ADT started back up.
