Correction from my previous post - Moms implants are saline, not silicone. She had silicone but got saline ones in 1991. She also did not have a mastectomy. She originally got the implants because of severe distortion due to having 8 benign tumors removed in her 20's. Does this sound like her saline implants could be damaged even though they've been there since '91? If it's not cancer, or the implants, then what?? Whatever the cause, she's in a ton of pain but her docs don't seem worried about it b/c her liver, etc is NED. I understand that is the most important issue, I just hate seeing her suffer.
