    Welcome
    No alarms on me either. I have more metal in my teeth than in my breast so I guess I would not set if off anyway because my teeth never set it off. Yes we certainly have the surgiacal scars to prove we went through something not fun huh!

    Welcome
    I've flown many times without setting anything off with my markers,so no worries about that. I worried about my port, wasn't sure if it was metal, but it didn't set anything off either.

    I don't think they will set
    I don't think they will set off anything at the airport. The one that was placed in me was titanium also, but, it was taken out with the tumor. I wonder why so many of you still have them in.
