even tho you are still sick...I was hoping you'd be better by now.. Not fun at all! Yes! Joe, those toxins and treatments for same are two-edged swords aren't they?
As all here have read, via the 'stickies' at the top of this forum's page or thru all posts...OR doing a forum search on the 'top blue bar'... Implants have lots of impact and implications for whatever reason on either immune or neuropathy issues.. What has been escaping me tho has been Undecided's and BethTaylors' posts with out any relationship to those Neuropathy issues. It somehow seems as if we are a vehicle for some other previous conversation from other place?
...Or to the issues relating to Breast Cancers...If one has gone thru various chemo or rad's treatments, well some PN is to be expected...IF it somes as a surprise, blast out your docs, goodness knows THEY should know a heck of a sight better-that you were not informed: shame on them and on you for not learning from other sources!..But, to wrestle out the pros and/or cons of implants here on the PN boards may not...exactly be the right place or forum for your discussions. Do your homework! IF you need resources, please contact me via PM...I've a whole slew of them!
Goodness knows I am/have been the most sympathetic of people to those who experience neuropathies due to chemo and rads...Tho I was lucky to escape both 'therapies', I did go thru the whole diagnostic and surgery route[angst and all], and have Good friends and family who have done the whole spectrum as well.. I think that the question here in relation to the answer really being sought is lost here somewhere....Without basic context of info regarding the need or desire for the implant...and if it's cancer related all have bearing on whether to 'do it' or not...I find basic context lacking here. I mean no offense, far from it....I just cannot comment and refer to good resources that could be useful on such limited informations. Maybe this should be addressed under the BC/other cancers forums? - I feel useless about this all anymore. - j
