As you enter late middle age, the maxim, use or loose. grows in resoance. Because of the state of health, of my late wife, there was a strong element of the latter. This may well have helped me on my journey; who knows? I started with decreased function and now, it barely exists; that I embrace as a true part of my feminisation. If you worry about loss of male function, is this a journey for you? You can get boobs, without feminisation; it's called a boob job!
Ingesting huge amounts of oestrogen will, inevitably, have other effects, I have just been asked to come forward for breast screening; just a small part of beibg an elderley woman, with a 25% elevated risk of breast cancer; would I choose any other way; no way! For me, this is as goog as it gets.

How did you get put on the list Chrissie? Are you registered with your PCT as a female now? Have you done all the paperwork, birth certificate etc? I didn't think that was all possible via D-I-Y PM ! I would have expected the "full monty" with the doctors reports, prescription hormones etc.

Or am I assuming too much and someone from either gender can get put on the list for tests if they have fully developed breasts?

I'm curious!
