Dear Kathie,

My heart goes out to you, because I can hear your desperation.

Some of us had silicone implants, like you. I had 'double lumen' (silicone &

saline) for 20

years. I was so sick, all I wanted was to get those things out. I didn't care

how I looked. I

just wanted my health back. And, please feel free to email me, at

mollyb54@....

You will get through this, but I know how frantic you feel.

As Patty said, this forum is exactly for support. Don't ever feel you are

taking time from

other issues. These ARE the issues. There are so many women here who know

how you

feel, and will be happy to help.

There are a few forums that are very supportive like this one. And the goal is

women

helping women. It was a lifesaver for me.
