Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Dear Ellierae, We are very sensitive with the health issues you have gone through and are going through. I feel especially bad for you that you have already had double mascetomy. It is sad that the PS have misinformed all of us and are still misinflorming women, even those witht the most delicate systems; as yourself. I cannot imagine, the FDA allowing implants being allowed into a women's body whose system was already compromised with cancer. I'm sad to tell you the symptoms you mentioned are exactly what we all experience. We have a file that goes over the symtpoms. Yes, some get their severest symtpoms after a seemingly healthy adjustment to the implants, however, I beleive now after looking back I reacted immediately. I think all of our immune systmes were compromised right from the beginning. Yours sounds moderately bad. this is par for the course. The good news and bad. The good news is if you get an explant you can probably still make a full recovery. the bad news is if you leave them in you will surely get worse, ( with my hand lifted to God, I believe this). In addition, part of the reason I stay on this group is to help women just like yourself. I have made almost a full recovery. but it is my mission in life to help another the way I have been helped by this group. Patty is our group leader. there is a lot of hope, but it starts with knowledge. Make an informed decision. and we will walk you through healing with our love and support. You've found a good group, thank god for your discovery. Keep writing us, there are a host of loving helpful women here and we do answer. Hugs, Love and support, . ellierae71556 <ellierae71556@...> wrote: I had breast cancer in both breast and had a bilateral mascetomy with reconstruction. I have silicon in plants and am wondering if some of the symtoms I was having are related. They have been in my body for only 1 1/2 years. I began to wonder when I saw the story of the women who had platinum poisoning and memory loss. Ive asked both my onocoligist, phyctristia(?) and my physian if I had alziemers. My short term memory has gotten so bad I can't believe it. They inform me I'm to young for alziemers. I had to have my ovaries removed due to the cancer in both breast. But it's hard to believe that a lack of estrigen could cause this sever of memory loss. When I heard of her memory loss I perked up. I havae been haveing a hard time sorting through the stuff on-line about the implants, it's alittle overwhelming. It appears that most women are having trouble many years after they've had the implants. As I said I've had these things in for 1 1/2 years. My symptoms are: bad short term memory, a constant cough (they say its allergies yet I'm on allergry and have dealt with I'm alleric too),My nose runs constently, and not just a trickel, sometimes to the point I throw up, I get winded when walking at a moderate pace, my hip hurts if I move wrong and fatigue.I hope I don't sound whinnie, my P.S. told me these things were safe now, I'm considering haveing them removed, that in it's self has hugh ramifications, any input is greatly appericated Ellierae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
