    I too have breast implants for 12 yrs now and have recently been diagnosed with invasive ductal ca of right breast.  I have received mixed opinions from my doctors as to whether the implant should be removed prior to radiation.  I have opted to have the lumpectomy and leave the implant prior to 1 yr of chemo then radiation. I'll take my chances because further surgery may still be needed depending on node and whether the margins are clear.
