It is funny that you should ask that. I had that for a couple of

months after explant and had completely forgotten about it until

now. they were so sensitive. Now it is completely gone!

The pathology report is not usually sent to you unless you request

it. Some doctors don't even do a pathological exam of the implants

or scar tissue, but I have heard that Dr. Melmed requests it

automatically (does anyone know if this is true?) You need to ask

him for the results, I would thin.

There are samples of letters to be sent to your doctor to request a

pathology report of your implants and scar tissue, so I just wanted

to make sure everyone understood that this is not normally done

unless you specifically request it, and even then you need to be

sure to ask for certain things to be examined.

I was told by Dr. Blais that if a doctor doesn't routinely send ANY tissue taken from the body, it is considered medical malpractice. This is something that has to be done. As far as the implants, they can do anything they want with them. You must ask for them if you are sending them for examination.glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> wrote:
