zackfreeflo asked:


I’ve had this problem for about 2 years and 4 months now. I’ve gone to see a specialist who says it is not weight related but hormonal. He told me to take Tamoxifen (Used in women with breast cancer) and said 80% of all his patients saw all the breast tissue disappear. I’ve been on it for 5 months and there has been some improvement. I’m unlucky in that both my parents have siblings who have gone through this condition. The doctor says I can either wait for them to go away on their own or have surgery (which will leave some faint scars). I used to enjoy swimming but stopped because of the condition, and people always tease me about. My mum says i should try surgery and my dad says to wait it out. What do you suggest?
