Hi,
I have had 2 MOM THR's one in 2007 and other in 2009. Had elevated cobalt and chromium. Had revision of 1 hip due to tissue damage around implant and pain in 2015. Cobalt and chromium levels have gone down but not completely as other MOM implant (Depuy) is still in my body. Have now had 2 different types of cancers, one is a very rare form of cancer (neuroendocrine tumor) Surgery to do revision of other hip not an option right now due to other serious medical issues Very little research on the impact of systemic cobalt, chromium Does anyone know toxicologist or someone who can address this. I believe cobalt & chromium are known carcinogens.
