Cancer after implant removed with removing capsule

Hi everyone. I had natrelle implants about 5 years ago and had them removed last year due to feeling ill all the time. Surgeon said he would remove capsules but only took out some of it as said stuck onto ribs. My breasts now are very lumpy and booked into breast cancer clinic tom as found lots of lumps . Anyone found out if you can get cancer from capsules left in . Very worried but nothing on internet about anyone finding out they have breast cancer after implant removal

    I hope your appointment at the clinic went well the other day and they were able to answer some of your questions about this but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses then you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this situation will get back to you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
