It is true that XY males can and do get breast cancer, but when I asked Dr. V. about this following my surgery, he told me that, when we undergo this surgery, most of the milk glands (which is where cancer usually occurs) are removed. Biological males tend to have only the milk ducts, and these are seldom affected by cancer. Still, he told me, I would have to do manual exams and seek medical attention if I noticed any suspicious lumps.
Good luck to you, Linus!! I think you're going to be extremely happy with Dr. V and I don't think you could possibly get a better surgeon or surgical staff at any price. I think you're going to be very pleased. I know I am.
