Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Cosmia, Dr Kolb is very understanding and will not blast you in any way. She will do her best to help you if she can financially. Do you have insurance? If not, can you get on a policy or even on medicare/medicaid for a temporary situation? There are tons of ways to get medical help please be open with Dr Kolb about your situation and she will do her best to see what she can do. She sees women everyday who are stunned by what their implants are doing and how much it will cost to get their health back. I am one of those women. We are spending our retirement savings on my breasts and my husband is furious about it. It always amazes me at how all the women get the funds for removal so fast. I have to wait until January or Febuary to get all the money together and I have already been waiting for 4 months...losing my hair like mad in the meanwhile. Feel free to email me, you have my email address already it is the swtlilblonde31@..., I am in a similar situation as you and can totally sympathize.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi , Dr. Kolb is very understanding. The reason she wants you to have the liver enzyme tests is to make sure the diflucan won't hurt you. I had high liver enzymes when I was explanted, and could not take diflucan. So instead she prescribed Nystantin. Talk with her. More than any other doctor I know, Dr. Kolb cares about her patients. > > > > Hi all, > > > > When I talked to Dr. Kolb on the phone last weekend she said for > me > > to take cipro 500mg 2x day for 14 days and diflucan 200 mg day for > 30 > > days and said somethng about liver function tests but I don't > > remember when I was supposed to get that done.
