Hi Jill,
What did your doc mean "your symptoms are due to anxiety" ?
I would have pretty much expected them to say your implants would not be problem. And, implants do not have to be leaking to cause a problem. It's pretty difficult to prove anything is responsible for bone marrow failures unless it's obvious. So many illnesses are due to things that happened years before the illness shows up or to ongoing imbalances in the body. That is why they are reluctant to attribute drugs and other toxins as the cause unless it's a recent exposure at pretty a high level. In the end, it doesn't seem to matter what the cause, they tend to treat the same way no matter what the cause.
I have always been concerned in that you may "fix" it or put it in remission, but if you don't understand what caused it, then how do you prevent it from coming back? We asked this question when John was getting ready for treatment and the answer was "it just doesn't". Only time will tell
.
Take care,
Marlene
