There's a lump under my left nipple.

This is a little OT, but sort of on-track with discussion of men's nipples... 

Did you all know there have been some cases of men breastfeeding children!?

The "Breast Doctor" came to see me this evening while I was dialyzing.  She had a good feel of my BREAST and said she thought it was hormonal.  She asked what drugs I was on and as soon as I mentioned Omeprazole which I use daily to stop my stomach reacting to everything else I'm taking she immediately said that one of the side effects of this drug is an increase in breast tissue.

I am to have a scan on Thurs and will take things from there.  The doc informed me my breast may or may not get bigger and if necessary, for cosmetic purposes it can be removed with surgery.

I just want to point out that I DID SOMETHING about finding a lump under my nipple even though breast cancer is rare in men, it still had me worried.  You ladies out there who have found lumps you are not sure about GET THEM CHECKED!

Thanks for the update Matty,

Glad to know it is hormonal, hope the scan goes well.

Cheers,
