Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I was explanted in August and Dr. Shanklin has had my implants and capsules doing testing on them since then. My mom talked to him briefly yesterday and although he is still not done with all the tests, he said there was a layer of black fungus covering one of my implants. Because I didn't get to talk to him, I didn't get the opportunity to ask him if this was something I should be treated for.....did any of you have something similar and take some sort of antibiotics for it? I'm sure I'll learn many more gross things about my implants when Dr. Shanklin gives me the low down on the lab work next month. He is also photographing everything for me...he truly is a wonderful man. I just can't help thinking about that black fungus and if I still might have some of it in my body. I have a doctor's appt Dec 1st and I'd appreciate any info you all might have on the treatment of the 'black fungus' so I can discuss it with my doctor. Thanks ladies....
