What are the symptoms of male breast cancer?

@auntieoakley Thanks for tagging me. I do get sensitivity in my breasts (no lumps), but that's a normal side-effect of the long-term hormone treatment for my stage 4 prostate cancer (it also causes growth of breast tissue, or gynocomastia).
Since my metastasis was on my thoracic spine behind the breasts, I get frequent imaging in that area (MRI and CT, both with contrast dye), so I trust that if I developed breast cancer, I'd get an early warning.
Best of luck to everyone dealing with this disease. Breast cancer in people born with testacles (rather than ovaries) is a much underreported and misunderstood disease. 🫂

I am a male who had breast cancer with lumpectomy surgery and radiation. It was discovered almost by accident from a ct scan ordered by my kidney doctor to check on the glands around my neck. There was a tiny spot aboutr half an inch in daimeter on my left chest area.He called me by phone and left me startled !I had sevral mammograms and ultra sounds and scan . After about 7 mlonths of prepsmy cancer had gone from Type 1 to metastatic Type 2 involving the lymph nodes on my left arm. Had 23 epidodes of radiation and have no signs of recurrence so far. Two mammograms and ultra sound a year plus Tamoxifen are all I have to do.This stuff can spread VERY fast in males so go for treatment immediately if diagnosed. Good Luck and stay healthy .
