My Sister has worked since she was 17,she's 58 now, just over 10 yrs ago she had breast cancer and had a Mastectomy, the scars she was left with looked like a Shark bite. She had reconstruction on the site and has suffered since, the implant had rolled up and adhered to her chest wall causing constant inflammation, pain and fatigue, roll on oct last yr, finally a micro surgeon decided it was high time the risky implant was removed and the inflammation dealt with, she had to go through numerous tests over months before the op also. On day of op it didn't go as planned, she lay opened up on the table while the micro surgeon phoned colleagues as she didn't know how to deal what she found ,anyway, a rib removed, a different implant put in place, she was meant to take fat from. My sisters side and use that instead, I say fat,my sisters v thin.So disappointment all round, wound not healing, a dozen hospital trips to habe it re dressed, re assessed cleaned ,big drain put in,no good after two weeks, a suction drain put in, healing started but still not quite there, she's in pain still and very fatigued, in my opinion she went back to work first time round far too fast, This time she can't even sit up at a desk. Today she had her very first WCA , she had two ppl question her...I've NEVER had two, one questioning her MH with regards to it all and they made her go blow by blow from day of diagnosis to present day.she was in floods of tears. If my sis was able to work believe me she'd be there. More ops are needed, she's still attending consultant and having wound therapy and constant antibiotics.

They said she'd hear back in about two weeks. Have any of you had two ppl in the assessment room asking questions? I'd like to hear other ppls views, thank you.
