Panda, you having breast cancer is incredibly unlikely but I think it makes sense to get a second opinion if you aren't comfortable with the first exam or with the questions you asked. If your breasts are changing and changing assymetrically, that is something to investigate. The other questions are, have you been gaining weight, are you taking any synthetic hormones or others meds, etc?
Again, it doesn't make sense to fear or suspect breast cancer, but IDK. You left the doctor without any understanding, and that shouldn't be the way it is, IMO. I mean, you could have other conditions causing gynecomastia, so a shrug off doesn't seem adequate.
