Re: My Breast Implant Article

[Guest guest]

I totally agree with Kathy. The most significant piece in the article is

the mention of this online support group!!!!!!!!! Hurray to the author.

Who knows how many women you have reached, and informed them about this

website. I wish I would have found this site much sooner than I did.....I

searched the web for over 4 hours before I found a link to this site on

another site. I was so frustrated I almost gave up, this is not the

easiest group to find IMO. And I know that any woman who is thinking about

getting implants or who has implants and has read this article now at least

they have access to this wonderful group and to information they probably

would never have found anywhere else.

Great job!
