I had a lumpectomy and radiation utilizing the Savi breast catheter for radiation. After a couple of days I was told that my flesh had grown away from the wire device & since they were unable to readjust it, they had to remove it and insert a bigger one. Cost $14K. The new device caused constant & extreme pain. It was unbearable even with meds. As a result, afterward, I got the worst case of painful shingles. I was sick in bed for 3 months with nerve pain and skin pain that was excruciating!
