Hi Jill,

Here's a link you may want to look at regarding implants and its effects on the immune system. You have to scroll down to get to the study stating that silicone can migrate to the bone marrow. They never say it causes MDS but if you are one of the unlucky ones to have problems, then from everything I've read from the people suffering from them, it appears to affect many aspects of their health.

This is also true for other types of implants like hip and knees.

Bottom line for me is that since they don't know what causes these bone marrow failures for most of us, everything and anything is suspect. I'm sure you can post your concern on this forum and see if anyone else has experienced blood disorders.
