Patty: had mammagram and ultrasound for pain in lymph and breast - results

[Guest guest]

Today I had a mammagram and an ultrasound of breast and lymph node area. Theses tests are so unconclusive however they did notice a thickness in the left breast which could be scar tissue. I'm under the impression there is residual silicone in the breast and that has migrated to the lymph area.

I will probably be referred for an MRI, and could only get to see dr. Leonard Kahn, the ultrasound specialist who detects silicone if the MRI finds something.

It really upsets me that I can't go where I could really be diagnosed properly. Any comments. I do beleave I'll be able to get the MRI and I hope it is capable of showing up silicone.

Isn't scar tissue dangerous too, if there is silicone within the scar tissue and it can grow. My left armpit, breast area, closer to the armpit is always in pain.

Any encouraging ideas would be great.

I just got back from having my capsules removed from Dr. Feng. They ordered an ultrasound of my left armpit because I have had a lump and bad body odor on that side. The ultrasound showed nothing. During my surgery they found the capsule in my armpit, now the lump and body odor is gone. Then Dr. feng called to tell me that the pathology report showed silicone and lymphocytes in the capsule.

I have also had Mammogram, MRI and Cat scans. All which showed nothing.

Try to keep your chin up and just because those tests don't show anything follow your intuition.

Hi , did Dr. Kahn do your ultrasound? I cannot beleave there isn't a real test to detect silicone. See this is not good because if none of these tests show anything how will I get operated on, I have no money for dr. Feng, but I KNOW there's something wrong! Trying to hang in there. Hugs, Is there a test, dose anyoen know?Note: forwarded message attached.__________________________________________________
