Important message for anyone considering explant

[Guest guest]

Please contact dpettitt@... for

information about participating in a study " Sick

Silicone Syndrome Study " (SSSS). Participation is

free.

This involves submitting hair, nail, urine and blood

samples before implants are removed. Deb will send you

a kit with everything needed to send samples. Deb is

working on making arrangements with a national lab to

draw blood. . . However you primary care doctor, or

plastic surgeon, can draw the blood too.

It will be months before the results begin to come in,

so this is not something you will be able to take to

your doctor to help with treatment right now. However,

this is the FIRST study of it's kind. The goal is to

find out why women are getting sick after getting

implants.

Deb is also testing some children. . . Please contact

Deb Pettitt (dpettitt@...) for further

information.

Thanks,

Rogene
