No I'm not going to dr. Feng, can't afford it. And thus far can't get to Dr. Kahn, the radiologist because he's out of network. I'm very derpessed today and am getting to feel health is only for the ones who can pay for it. I feel like I'm dieing. My PCP will be rodering bloodwork and body scan (my chest cavity, neck, back, left knee, and hips seems to be getting worse) My left breast is twice the size of my right. I'm in tears. Hugs, , Hope I get MRI, wish I could get to dr. Kahn. ann53ie <ann53ie@...> wrote:

Hi , Are you going to Dr Feng? I think Leonard Kahn is a doctor, a radiologist. I could be wrong. He did my scan, too. Scar tissue can be very painful. I have lots of it (Type IV). It can also house lots of inflammation. They're supposed to send my scar tissue (when I'm explanted) to pathology to check for cancer and inflammation, per Dr Feng. If silicone has migrated to your lymph nodes under your arms, Dr Kahn should've detected it. I've got so much scar tissue, it "appears" the silicone is contained in my breasts, in the scar capsules. However, with silicone bleed from day 1, who knows how much has circulated elsewhere. I know I've been really sick with symptoms SO similar to others with implants, so I have to wonder. I am grateful to God they didn't find any in the scan outside the breast area though. It sure beats

seeing some! Love, Annie-- In , michelle king <michellerking1@y...> wrote:> Today I had a mammagram and an ultrasound of breast and lymph node area.
