Hi, I am awaiting a scan and possible biopsy next week. I have the same symptoms as 3yrs years ago, but was told after nothing found on scan that the fluid could of transported from my fractured wrist op, the previous year, travelled up my arm and into my breast....No biopsy was taken to test the fluid for BIA_ALCL. I have the highest grade 4 for polythurane foam implants.  My GP said they will do a scan and biopsy. Has anyone else had tests for this type of blood cancer caused by the coating of implants? Many thanks
