I was told I had "A-Typical" Cancer - my understanding that meant dormant. Dr. did a lumpectomy (sorry spelling). I caught a massive infection; gauze stiches (etc.) was left in me. I went from a dd breast to an c breast. New dr. (years later) did reconstruction - breast reduction. unfortunately, caught another massive infection which left me with no breast (not even a's) - year later implants were put in places I was told implants were saline but recent dr. believes they are silicone. the new pain feels like a bruise in the same place all the time and sometimes it feels hot other times nothing- as well I feel a small lump under/near the arm pit - I hope this info. helps -- I should state I was first diagnosed @ 19 and now Im 42 --- As well implants never took too hard, fell in the body and are leaking -- having them removed --- too many scars very emotional 4 me did not want to see another dr. till I could come to grips with issues ---- family history of breast cancer ---- 2 years ago had 4 tumors removed from another place ---- sorry hope all of this has helped ---- whew!!!
