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.
