I am in what I'm sure is a SMALL Club.....

[Stanley Steamer]

Yikes......had to have my Man Boobs "Man-o-grammed" today......

It's been sore behind my left nipple for 3-4 months now, and my Wife finally goaded me into doing something about it.....the Dr. gave me some kind of medicine to take for a week and if it didn't work, I had to have an ultrasound.......that was this morning.....the Tech for that did my left breast.....and then the Dr. came in and she did both sides.....couldn't see anything....they said the left side looked a little swollen, so she put me in line to have a mammogram..... .......I waited around for the two women in front of me to get done, then it was my turn..... ???......the Lady doing that was mighty "blessed" and was a hoot to boot....she cut up with me and told me that I was just getting a little payback for me having teased my Wife for when she had to have hers a few weeks ago.....and that I should take the Wife out to dinner or cook for her the next time she has hers..... ???

I was dubious as to how it was going to work since I'm not even an A cup...... .....she had to add an extra pad on the top plate to get a "bite" on it.... .......the left side hurt a little since it was sore anyways, but the right side didn't hurt a bit.....I'm not sure what all the big deal is to get these?? (maybe it has to do with how MUCH they have to squeeze?).....really the only thing that hurt was when I had to snatch these little pieces of tape off my nipples that were "targets" for the machine or something??......took plenty of hair off......OUCH!!.....at least they didn't have to shave me...that would have sucked!.....

Waited around a little while for the Dr. to look at those and she came in and told me she didn't see any cancer.....that there may have been a little (granular?) stuff on the left side, but nothing to be worried about...... .......that it could be something hormonal.....asked if I had changed/added any new medicines lately and I hadn't......So, I guess it's all good news?...my Boss told that if it is still sore after a while, that maybe I should get them to do an MRI.....I hope I don't have to do anything else.....I guess my primary Dr. will get the results and let me know if I have to do anything else......

My boobs have been where hundreds of other female boobs have been.....that must count for something......

Shave, string bikini.......see if Willow will let your pic ride on the boobies thread.....

mammograms put a ton of radition into an already sensitve area thereby causing cancer when there might not have been any beforehand.
Thermography is safe and no radition and more effective at detecting anything that is wrong.
google away.

Mr Steamer, I too am in the club. A "Manogram" As I prefer to call it. It sure DOES suck.
I had a rock fly back and hit me in the right boob. WOWEE that hurt. I looked at the wife's chart in the shower and sure enough, lump. Went to the doc, then to the specialist. Turns out Tagamint (?) is a gateway drug for Breast cancer. I stopped taking it and was mightily relieved.Also anti persperant is one of those not reccomended. Dedorant otherwise it backs up into the ducts.
God bless you for bringing this up and I'm glad it was OK.

Sounds like all is well for you know Steamer.  Those aren't man boobs, you just have defined pecs.

ya get MORE radiation with a sunny day in denver, than with a mammogram..............

[..]

I have a variety of non typical lumps and bumps on my upper torso and upper arms inherited from my fathers side of the family.

Every time I get a new one on or near my chest away I go to get crushed.

please educate yourself about the lies from the billion dollar/yr cancer industry.

http://www.preventcancer.com/patients/mammography/dangers.htm
http://iicph.org/dangers_of_mammography
Radiation from routine mammography poses significant cumulative risks of initiating and promoting breast cancer (1– 3). Contrary to conventional assurances that radiation exposure from mammography is trivial— and similar to that from a chest X-ray or spending one week in Denver, about 1/ 1,000 of a rad (radiation-absorbed dose)— the routine practice of taking four films for each breast results in some 1,000-fold greater exposure, 1 rad, focused on each breast rather than the entire chest (2).

sorry, i'm a radiologic technologist. i was taught radiation safety at washington university by a phd in radiation safety.

i'll take HIS word over ANYTHING google can drum up.

[Valker]

Stan, I had a lump removed about 20 years ago. Ended up just being a cyst, but it was the size of a plum!! Took me by surprise.

[NCGhostrider]

A good friend of mine had his "man boobs" reduced a few months ago.  He has been thru hell, and of course, me being "fluffy" (key word for fat a$$), I have my own man boobs..    After his ordeal, I will keep mine, besides  I always have a set to look at....  ugh!   That was wrong... sorry.

I use a gel deodorant/antiperspirant....never thought that might be a problem?......I take a pill each day for acid reflux.....but sometimes take a Tagamet acid reducer if I am about to go eat salsa at a Mexican restaurant or anything that's really spicy.....never had any problems with this stuff before....

I couldn't feel a lump and these tests confirmed that I guess?.....maybe it's just something in the tissue that makes it feel sore.....sometimes it's more sore than others.....doesn't really hurt unless I lean on something on that side of my chest..... ???

u get acid reflex from the stomach not making enough hydrochloric acid to digest the food. as a result the food starts to rot.  Rotting food is the primary thing that gives you the acid feeling, the methane gas production, and reflux. Rotting, putrefying food produces LACTIC ACID that is the bad guy in all this. Hydrochloric acid has the opposite effect.  The biochemist for thedrug companies know this but the drug company cannot make billions telling u the truth, so they don't tell the full story.  just buy Betaine HCL which is not expensive and take a few near the end of the meal. U will digest your food and absorb certain important nutrients and minerals which cannot happen without hydrochloric acid present. without this the body is straving nutritionally.

please get out of your little narrow box and wake up to what is really going on in the drug and medical system

Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US,
Causing 250,000 Deaths Every Year


Journal American Medical Association (JAMA)  Vol 284 July 26, 2000: author Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health



DEATHS PER YEAR:

12,000 ----unnecessary surgery

7,000 -----medication errors in hospitals

20,000 ----other errors in hospitals 

80,000 ----infections in hospitals 

106,000 ---non-error, negative effects of drugs 

These total to 250,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes!!  (iatrogenic is defined as induced in a patient by a physician's activity, manner, or therapy. Used especially of a complication of treatment).

here is another layer for u.

New findings by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health reveal that X-rays can significantly increase children's risk of developing leukemia. Having even one X-ray, they say, can moderately increase the risk of developing certain kinds of leukemia, calling into question the overall safety of X-rays.

Me too, when my doc said I needed it I thought SHE was crazy. I did have it mainly because I lost a male friend a few years ago to breast cancer, at least that was where the cancer got it's start. It was a wierd experience to have the test, nothing like a check for prostate cancer though.
