I believe the radiation needs to be done PRIOR to DES, I have not heard of people getting it for other treatments, but you never know.I have been on Lupron for almost six years along with Casodex, HDK, Nilandron, and now DES

and have never had an issue with breast enlargement.I did have radiation before starting DES in March. I stay active and lift weights (moderately) and this seems to keep ahead of the 'growth' of moobs.

Tom,

I have read that there is a treatment for that. As I understand

it, a radiation oncologist can give you one light dose of

radiation to your chest and that, supposedly, will stop breast

development under ADT.

I seem to recall reading postings from some men that said they

had it and it worked.

You'll need to ask your doctor for a referral to some sort of

radiation specialist who can help you with this.
