Breast implants before cancer

Hi, I had breast implants place 13 years ago to replace what I lost after pregnancy.
i had just started looking in to a revision when I'd discovered a couple of breast lumps... five hours at the breast clinic my doctor has told me she suspects breast cancer. I go back this Wednesday for the results & am also waiting for an mri appointment.

Are there any women on here that have had implants before breast cancer diagnosis? Those that have faced treatment/surgery? Did you go flat or were you able to reconstruct?

any info/your experience would be much appreciated x

  • A warm welcome to the forum Rachael although I'm sorry to hear the doctor thinks you may have breast cancer.

    I noticed you are getting your results today. I'm not sure what time you're getting them but I wanted you to know we're thinking of you and will have all our fingers and toes crossed for a good outcome.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to discuss this or anything at your appointment with one of our cancer nurses they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
