I can agree with Mona. I would like to see the plastic industry and the

manufacturers stop preying on breast cancer survivors, too.

Reconstructions are not the solution, with or without saline implants. It

is an industry whose goal is to take advantage of the weak and vulnerable.

If anyone has salines and have not experienced a spontaneous rupture with

one, it is quite a painful experience when the rotten saline hits the nerve

endings in the chest. If you do have one, be sure to tell the ER room that

your implant has had a failure and you need to get it taken care of

immediately. Sometimes ER staff may try to pass the pain off as something

else. They told me I probably had shingles, gave me cortizone, and sent me

home. My husband gave me two of his Tylenol 3 pills which had codeine in

them. It knocked me out and when I woke up, I could fold up the skin on

that side. I then called the ER back to tell them it was the implant. NO

ONE, not even my happy, smiling Mayo trained PS suggested that I get the

implant out right away.
