Should I Have my Lymph Nodes Removed As They Are Full of Silicone from Non Medical Grade Silicone?

April 16, 2013
Asked By:Chel47aus

I Have Pain and Discomfort in the left breast and armpit also a small lump has now been found just below my nipple but they have said they can't do a biopsy as it is to close to the new implant and it could be ruptured by the procedure do you think that the non grade silicone could have caused the lump 0r that my lymph nodes are not working due to them being full of silicone
