TOPIC: Prostate cancer - Pmma found in lymph nodes

HI all

If you remember me I had just 1 round of PMMA in 2012... and had a subseqnt FBG that I had my pens degloved.

In June I was found to have prostate cancer... I had surgery yesterday, and PMMA was found in a bunch of my pelvic lymph nodes.

Good luck
Darkstaff

OHHH SHIT, it would be interesting to know weather there is a link
I\'d like to hear what Skeptical One and Hoddle have to say about it

To be honest with you even if PMMA increases cancer risk slightly it wouldn\'t really bother me that much I smoke and it\'s obviously no worse than that, at least if you have PMMA you get something out of it unlike smoking lol

Darkstaff,
Good luck in your recovery. Do you think there was a link between PMMA and the prostate cancer? I was under the impression PMMA was too large to get picked up by the Immune system. Keep us posted please.

Is there any scientific studies that shows that permanent fillers can increase risk of cancer?

please don\'t leave any stone unturned on this one. We\'re all highly interested.

HI
I get the prostate pathology report back in 9 Days... it will be interesting to see it it had PMMA. It was super inflammed.... I\'ll let you all know.

I think CHL had PMMA in his lymph nodes too. Right?

Dark

Until a pathology report is submitted, this is nothing more than speculation. And even then, having found PMMA in lymph nodes does nothing to show it caused prostate cancer. Hell, there is a percentage of men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, a large vast majority of them never having had PMMA. Furthermore, it\'s bizarre that PMMA, not known to be a carcinogen, would have been so aggressive as to cause cancer in such a small time frame. Please be mindful of this.

This thread is locked until Darkstaff can email me with an update (which includes the pathology reports), then this thread will be open & updated then.

Leaving a thread of this nature open to discussion till then is unwise... no need for speculation on a matter above most of our pay grades.
