BIA ALCL

Hi.
I came to Cyprus day before yesterday to have replacement implants and uplift. Surgery was yesterday. Out of surgery I was told by my fantastic surgeon that they couldn't replace my implants as they found white liquid in both capsules and one Oc the implants also had white inside it. He's removed both capsules and implants and given me an uplift. It's all been sent to the Lab for diagnosis. But certainly it's BIA ALCL. 
no idea if it's spread. The morning of the surgery a smal lump appeared  under my arm. Hope it's not related. I'm not sure what happens next. My friend is flying out here today as she planned to help me post new breast implant surgery. Now looks like she'll be supporting her friend with Cancer. Her mum died of cancer. This is not fair on her.

  • Hi Samcleo2,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of your situation and I hope you're getting on OK. It sounds as if there are some unknowns at the moment so hopefully it won't be long before you get all the information you need, at which point you should get a better idea of next steps.

    It's good to hear that you have your friend supporting you - try not to worry about the fairness of it all, as there's nothing you can do to help this and I'm sure having her with you will be good from a support point of view.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon. We're always here on the forum if you need it at any point and I hope you find it useful.

    Wishing you all the best,
