I am sorry to hear that you have had to wait so long for an appointment with the NHS, but glad to hear that you have managed to get a private one sooner. I hope that you don't have too long to wait for this and that all turns out well for you.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Thank you for the update. I am glad to see that you have some answers and that you have decided to have an en-bloc capsulectomy. Have you got a date for surgery yet? I understand your worry at present, so hope that you get this soon. I am sure that this is just routine to your surgeon and that you will feel mightily relieved once this is all behind you.
Hey! I know this is a really old post but I’ve been all over the internet looking for advice. I had implants 14 years ago (no idea if they are textured or not) and about 6 months ago I noticed pan in my right breast. I was referred to the breast clinic and had an ultrasound but they said everything looked ok so I got on with my life and the pain went. To be honest I thought it must of just been a muscular pain or something.
Then about 2 months ago the pain returned in the same breast so I waited thinking it was just muscular but then I noticed a lump under my armpit. I went to the doctor and was referred to the breast clinic by which point the lump in my armpit went down so I was less worried. However during ultrasound they found fluid around the implant. They sucked the fluid out which was a lot and yellowish in colour and have sent off for a biopsy which I’m waiting for results. I’m also having an MRI next week. I have a baby and a 3 year old and I’m beside myself with worry. I haven’t stopped crying since the scan. I’m worried there was something 6 months ago and they didn’t pick it up in the first scan! Every time I try to put it to the back of my mind whilst I wait for results I just can’t because the pain is constant. It’s like a dull heavy aching feeling.
i search the internet everyday looking for reassurance but everything points towards BIA-ALCL.
