Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has had an implant reconstruction after mastectomy has had any issues following chemotherapy. My implant had settled really well with no pain but I had my first round of chemo 2 weeks ago and now it's uncomfortable in my chest. I'm having Docetaxel and Carboplatin every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. I was aware that radiotherapy can effect implants but hadn't heard about chemo. 

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has had chemotherapy after implants. Thank you

    Best of luck with the rest of your treatment.
