My lovely wife came up with the idea to pay for a orchidectomy for my upcoming birthday ( and Christmas and Easter, it's $2500 ). She found a doctor who would do it without a medical indication and I already talked to him over the phone.
I am a little bit scared but I would probably do it still. My only concern is that I am on BO for 3 1/2 month now and my girls have just started to grow. Would BO still work when the testicles are gone or not. The Doctor thinks that BO is not working in man anyways ( I can't wait to show him what it did for me already ) . Where can I get a reliable answer before I go this drastic and not reversible step ?

If you send me a private message I share the contact information for the Doctor, he is super nice and seams to be a real expert.

This small sample study size indicates breast growth is unlikely after an orchi is performed unless the correct hormones (cross-sex hormones) are introduced. Sorry, I don't get this whole decision making process, choose wisely and not simply to satisfy your wife and the surgeon willing to take your money. 

Short-term and long-term histologic effects of castration and estrogen treatment on breast tissue of 14 male-to-female transsexuals in comparison with two chemically castrated men.

Abstract
The histologic changes induced in the mammary gland of male-to-female transsexuals have not yet been reported in the literature. We studied the histologic changes induced by chemical and surgical castration and estrogen therapy in the breasts of 14 such patients, with particular reference to acinar and lobular formation. To objectify the influence of cross-sex treatment, the histologic findings were compared with those in two men treated hormonally for prostate cancer. The slight increase in the plasma estrogen-to-androgen ratio seen in idiopathic gynecomastia usually does not induce acinar and lobular formation in the male breast. In men treated with nonprogestative antiandrogens for prostate cancer, only moderate acinar and lobular formation occurs. Only in male-to-female transsexuals in whom progestative chemical castration is combined with feminizing estrogen therapy will full acinar and lobular formation occur with hormonally stimulated nuclei and pseudolactational changes. Hence, combined progestative antiandrogens and estrogens are necessary for genetically male breast tissue to mimic the natural histology of the female breast. Orchidectomy does not contribute to this. Apocrine metaplasia may occur in breasts of male-to-female transsexuals, but so far, only four cases of breast cancer in male-to-female transsexuals have been documented.
