Dear Eva,
I pray for you often.
So sorry to hear you are dealing with this.

Have you spoken to your oncologist or surgeon about the pain you are experiencing from your implant?

At a breast cancer support group I sometimes attend, a woman who feels as you do, that she, perhaps, should not have done implants after her breast cancer surgery, had hers removed because she was feeling so uncomfortable. She said she feels better physically but even more important, emotionally.

I know you have many health issues and it is hard to find the time or emotional stamina to research but there is a site called www.breastcancer.org where you can research people's questions and answers, just like this site. You can also join and post your own questions.

There is also the Susan Komen site that is very helpful

Eva, I had breast cancer too and use a prosthesis. I generally wear loose clothing or vests and almost never use the prosthesis unless I have to get dressed up( which is RARE) or wear a sweater. It really is not a bad option.

Please PM me if you want to talk about any other details.
I feel so bad you are suffering.
Take care, my friend,
Diandra
