Hi all
I had a single mastectomy and reconstruction in Feb and thankfully am all clear to travel now so heading off on holiday.
I have read that the metal in an expander implant (the port) can set off security scanners. Has anyone had this? Do I need to get a letter from the consultant??
Any tips gratefully received!
Thank you

Hi @tweety1
The thought of it is stressful isnt it. Mine didn’t set off any metal detectors. I did have my medical cards ready from the consultant which i was given to carry which shows who i am and what I have been fitted with.
Kind of a big stress for nothing. . . .thankfully
Have yourself a great holiday.
