Sorry but this is very embarrasing for me and I cant seem to get any answers googleing.Has anybody developed Gynecomastia Due to Radiation and chemo? I have a pretty good case of it. Not really sure if its from my damaged thyroid or from the chemo. Since I will probably be facing chemo again what drugs should I avoid? The only info I can find is prostate or testicular cancer gyno.

    Is it actual Gynecomastia or

    Is it actual Gynecomastia or did you just lose a lot of weight off your torso.  I looked pretty pathetic at end of treatment (like Ben Kingsley in Gandhi).  Getting my weight stabilized and starting to exercise again has helped a lot.

    Gynecomastia causes

    This link at Mayo Clinic

    http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gynecomastia/symptoms-causes/dxc-20257772

    Hormone inbalance can be caused by : chemo, steroids, antianxiety meds, nutrition, etc.

    This should be checked by a doctor and explained to your satisfaction.

    Hope this helps.  Best wishes,

    Crystal
