Re: Breast conserving treatment an option for women with implants

[Guest guest]

Sis,

It's really dismaying!

The studies we know about show that breast cancer

women have a very high complication rate from breast

implants . . . as well as hiding cancers that may

develop later.

One implant woman told me that she went to the

archives where thousands upon thousands of documents

relating to breast implants were stored. She found

that ALL the documents relating to breast cancer and

breast implants had disappeared!

There's a tremendous amount of money behind keeping

breast implants on the market that makes educating the

public an uphill battle. They keep claiming the latest

and greatest implant is the safe one . . . even though

they don't have long term studies and they have never

studied those of us who have become sick because of

their breast implants!

One plastic surgeon told me, to my face, that he made

money putting breast implants in and in taking them

out. He didn't give a d*** what they did!

IMHO, one reason they are fighting so hard is that,

when breast implants fall, many other implantable

devices are going to suffer too . . . However, most

other devices save either a life or a function.

Personally, I don't have a problem with them as long

as patients are given true informed consent! . . . And

encouraged to wait as long as possible before getting

the devices.

Apparently the government believes it's more important

to fill the pockets of a few than to protect the lives

of many.

What really makes me sick is that the children suffer

so needlessly - even those who don't get sick as a

result of being born to, or nursed by an implanted

mother.

God please protect us from those who don't care!

Oh I know...I've always thought it was ironic that women with breast

cancer were the ones that they allowed to have silicone implants.

Guess they figured those women were already sick, so what the heck!

IMHO, they are the worst ones to have silicone in their bodies.
