BIA ALCL

Hi I had Allergan breast implants taken out last week. I was already booked in privately to have explant before both my breast swelled. I went and had a scan done on the NHS and it showed i had fluid round both implants. As already booked into have explant done 2 weeks later they didn't take a sample.  

Everything taken out last week and sent off. My question is has this been the case for anyone else? And if so what was the wait for results? And if cancer was detected did you have any symptoms?

Starting to lose my mind a bit now

Thanks xx

 

  • Hi there,

     

    Sorry to read your story. I hope you got your results back negative and you’re now recovered and doing well. 

     

    For you or or any other ladies going through the same, I was diagnosed with BIA ALCL in 2017. There is a wealth of knowledge available at biaalcl.com/.../ 

    There is also a great forum on Facebook (members only) which offers information and incredible support for diagnosed women. It’s called “ALCL in women with breast implants”. 

    You’re not alone ladies!!
