Re: good news for all you scheduled for explant

October 28, 2005

Lo,

Having women come back after being explanted to

encourage women to follow through with their instincts

to be explanted is what makes this group work! . . .

Thanks so much for letting everyone know that there is

life after explants . . . And that the body God gave

us is the best one after all!

Hugs,

Rogene

Lo,

What a beautiful, inspirational and uplifting message. I am

thrilled that you are doing so well! Thank you for coming back to

share with us all that you have been through and how your healing

has progessed. I am also thankful that your doctor was so helpful

in validating what you were going through! If you want to share his

name so he can be available to help others, that would be awesome!

I understand the need to get away from this issue to clear your head

sometimes. There is nothing fun about it, (except for the new

friends you make!) and the depression and angst we feel can be

overwhelming. But, as you pointed out, there is surely hope here!

Women are getting better once they understand that the implants DO

INDEED cause illness, even when their doctors are telling them " it's

not the implants " . Explant is the only way to go.

Thanks again for sharing your remarkable story Lo!

Patty
