In a Strange Twist of Fate, This 30-Year-Old Woman's Breast Implant Saved Her Life

Wrong Diagnosis

Kelly's family didn't have a history of breast cancer, so she didn't believe that she was at risk. As the lump continued to get bigger, Kelly continued to visit her doctor, but she was convinced that it was likely hormonal. Assured that the lump was nothing to worry about, Kelly took out a loan for the operation...

Causing Problems

"At first the doctor at the private clinic kept refusing me because of my lump, but when I got a letter from the hospital confirming that it was a cyst, he agreed to perform the operation," she said. After a number of infections, Kelly's breast implants were removed and later reinserted... but at the six-week checkup, the doctor said she needed to get a biopsy, seeing as her lump had increased in size.
