Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Darling Ilena: I wish that I could go to the FDA meeting and tell my story. Do you think someone else could tell my story for me? I have so many stories to tell about other women who have had their lives destroyed by both silicone/saline breast implants. Many women who have contacted me for help with their silicone implants decided to have saline put in even though I told them it would be dangerous. These women have moved on and I have no contact with them. Sending lots of love....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````````````````````````````````` From Dr. Zuckerman ...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Lea, send your story to Zuckerman or Kathy ly-ston and they will undoubtedly submit it to the FDA for you.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Ladies, I hope all of you will send your history to Kathy or . This is terribly important. They will arrange for someone to read your testimony to the FDA. Your voice will count! We need everyone to take part! Please remember the children while you're at it! God Bless all, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thank you Lynda, I will send my story to both of them. As you know my story gets worse, but I guess that won't matter. I sure hope that our Dr. Blais will attend. He told me that he was writing a letter to the FDA, but we need him to be there. Love you...Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`````````````` From Dr. Zuckerman ...
