    its possible, but would be incredibly rare. it’s most likely not, but you should go see your doctor to find out what it is.

  2. Connor Says:

    Yes it is completly possible. If you are worried get it looked at. But keep in mind you do have mammary glands which is what you might be feeling but if you haven’t noticed it before then by all means do what you feel is right.

    If cancer runs runs in your family the answer is yes. I go and get it checked out by your doctor.

    Yes it is, it’s rare but possible none the less. If you think you may have a tumor you should seek the help of your doctor. Don’t put it off! If it were to be cancer and you wait too long it could metastasize and spread throughout your body!

    I can tell you exactly what it is, because I have it too. I was worried at first, for the same reasons as you, but I later learned that men actually have a small amount of breast tissue. Provided it is behind the nipple, you have nothing to worry about.

    it is possible. see a doc.

    and for guys it is called "chest cancer". as they discovered most men would rather die then admit they have breast cancer.
