Thank you for sharing all this with you. I am forwarding this to my sister; as she, herself, had breast cancer. I have heard her speak also of taking Tomoxifen.
You created a 'spark' with me, personally with what you
said about your staff infection and the bacteria adhering to metal. You see, I deal with ongoing open wound infections in my left ankle area. I had an ankle fracture there at the very end of 1999. I did have a metal plate and screws put in there to heal the fracture, but developed an infection and the orthopedic doctor went in to take care of the infection, but took a huge 'chunk' out of my ankle. I have, since then, dealt with continuous and ongoing open wound infections in that same area of my left outside area of my ankle (five, to be exact), and even dealing with one right now. I am in so much pain most of the time there. I am so sick of it! But my point is this with bringing this up: I did have a MRI done in 2007
on this area. The radiologist report stated that there was
"Metal artifacts and of screw" shown. I have questioned doctors since I read this; in that, am I having these ongoing infections and open wounds happening due to the metal still left in there?
Terri, if you can expand on this one comment of yours, it would really help. Thank you.
