In a heartrending discussion, a member shares the ongoing health struggles faced by their mother, including a series of surgeries that have become a distressing norm for their family. The immediate concern is the removal of breast implants, one of which has ruptured, leading to potential silicon absorption by her body. Complications escalate when a preoperative mammogram reveals suspicious spots, raising fears of breast cancer. This possibility presents a significant emotional and physical challenge, compounded by the mother's history of benign tumors and a diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome—a condition shared by the poster, raising concerns about their own health future.
The community rallies around the member, offering prayers, love, and support as they navigate this difficult time. The member pledges to focus on aiding their mother's recovery, intending to double their work on the cam to compensate for not seeking traditional employment during this period.
An update reveals that the immediate surgery to remove the implants was successful, though it awaits pathology results for a definitive diagnosis. The surgery's outcome hints at a potential link between the breast issues and previous complications from transvaginal mesh erosion, suggesting a systemic reaction to foreign bodies in her system. The member expresses gratitude for the community's support and promises to keep everyone updated on their mother's condition.
