Hi everyone!

Been a little while since I have posted, I do read though!

So......I don't know what is going on, back to the surgeon on Tuesday afternoon.  I went to reach for something and got a big bulge close to my collar bone....and now when I move, I get the bulge and my shoulder actually hurts a little bit.  I feel good - no fever, etc.  My cancer doctor thinks the implant has moved and wants me back at the PS.  They told me to put the band back on until I come in.  I don't get it.  I did EVERYTHING - he even had me wear the band strap for three months.  I am hoping I don't need corrective surgery - if any of you have seen this or had this happen, I would be so grateful to hear from you.

Thank you!  Time to go get caught up now!

    Dogsneverlie so sorry, how did that happen? I'm told that the implants are very durable and can sustain a lot. Please let us know what happened and where you are with it now. Did you have any symptoms prior

    Hi! I never really got an answer as to how this happened - actually, and this really upset me, my FABULOUS surgeon told me immediately that it was the implant and to call my PS right away but right up to the time when they took me in for surgery, my PS was still saying he wasn't sure it was the implant!

    It got fixed, which is what matters. I am going back in early April to see if they can make my radiated breast look better......fingers crossed!
