Re: Implant Question / Radiation Question - Concerns
I just came by to do a quick little check and this topic stood out for me and I hope to help. I coincidently had a check up with my PS and we discussed the exact same topic of switching out my implants. He said that it was the old standard to replace & replace however if I'm not experiencing any pain, hardness or problems there is no reason for him to change the silicon implants that I have. I am feeling GREAT! I have had them for almost 10 years and also had radiation, chemo & the works. I have my mammogram on the one existing breast and MRI when I'm due. As long as everything is ok I can stay away from the surgery.
Peace & hugs ~ Ruth
