A Queensland woman has been told she will have to wait for as long as a year before a specialist is available to advise her whether her breast-implants, which have been nationally recalled, have potentially given her cancer and can be removed.
Danielle of Hervey Bay, received TSF-450 implants in November 2015. The Therapeutic Goods Administration issued a recall of these implants in October last year due to a link to a rare type of cancer called Breast Implant Associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.
While authorities say the risk of the cancer is low, and that explant surgery poses a greater risk, as recently as last week Victorian health authorities urged women who noticed âswelling caused by fluid around the implant, as well as pain, rashes or lumpsâ to seek treatment immediately.
