  • STUDY WOMEN HARMED .. A MESSAGE TO THE INDUSTRY

    Posted at 1:51 am by motherima, on October 13, 2019

    BREAST IMPLANTS don’t look like THIS long once placed within us

    You put high risk devices in us despite NO LONG TERM SAFETY DATA ... told us they couldn’t make us sick .. THEY DID .. 

    THEY FAILED leaving many of us PERMANENTLY HARMED

    After 60 years you STILL say the LONG TERM AFFECT OF MIGRATED SILICONE IS UNKNOWN … 

    WE ARE THE LONG TERM DATA. WE CAN PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE LONG TERM AFFECTS OF MIGRATED SILICONE. 

    You deceived us whether wittingly or unwittingly.  You failed us. You harmed us … 

    you referred us to psychiatrists .. 

    the LEAST YOU CAN DO is FOLLOW US to prevent unnecessary harm to more generations of women! You have an ethical obligation to do so.

    WE ARE THE STUDY RESULTS 

    We represent 40+ years of data .. 

    ** DON’T PUT MORE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN AT RISK **

    It’s regrettable you’ve allowed this to happen, but it would be unforgivable to needlessly & knowingly put more generations of women at risk. 

    It will take another 20-40 years to collect the data we can provide NOW!

    We have silicone in our lymph nodes, lungs, liver, brain, and other vital organs; breasts; muscles; near & distant places. We have silicone granulomas, lesions & masses. We have implant related cancers.

    DON’T BURY THE TRUTH OF SILICONE WITH US
    WE deserve to at least provide scientific data that will benefit others. Its the ONLY way to redeem the senseless harm caused to us. OUR suffering cannot count for NOTHING.

    The way forward is working together for TRUTH.

    To be clear .. this isn’t about blame. It’s about taking responsibility and doing it better as we move forward. It’s about preventing further harm to unwitting women. There can be no path forward in truth if harmed women aren’t included in the conversation and studied. 

    I’ve heard the excuse that the industry doesn’t like retrospective studies. This isn’t looking back, its looking foward. WHAT’s happening to us NOW and WHAT will happen to us in coming years.

    We should be studied for the rest of our lives, and an autopsy done post mortem, with the intention of seeing the impact of migrated silicone within us. Will we be dead in 5 years? Will we live till we’re 90? Will our immune system eventually make peace with the silicone within us? Will we always be in pain? Will we get cancers? It’s no longer acceptable to say the long term impact of migrated silicone is unknown. It’s been 60 years. It’s about time that uncertainty is eliminated. It’s unthinkable to subject generations more women to this experiment while having swept their predecessors under the rug. 

    Studying women with migrated silicone isn’t subject to speculation, nor is it subjective. It’s straight-forward and can easily prove scientifically the truth of migrated silicone. (Ultrasound, MRI, PET Scan, CAT Scan, Autopsy). 

    WE ARE CALLING FOR INDUSTRY AND INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS TO IMMEDIATELY ESTABLISH STUDIES WHICH INCLUDE WOMEN ALREADY HARMED – ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH BIA-ALCL AND MIGRATED SILICONE.

    BIA-ALCL / BII / Migrated Silicone #StudyUS

     

    You don’t get to do THIS to us then ignore and abandon us .. you don’t get to ignore THIS to the peril of more generations of women.

    I live in a remote community in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada. I became ill from badly ruptured silicone breast implants, and after learning of the number of women still being implanted in this region I felt compelled to speak up. As a result, my breastimplantfailure blog and celebrateyourbreasts project were borne. I was explanted in 2013 and am still on a healing journey.

      How can I make sure my body gets donated to study the harmful effects of BII when I pass?

        Unfortunately, at this time you can’t. I’ve looked into it in both Canada and the USA. I was told that there’s no one doing postmortem studies on women that had/have breast implants. At this time when a person donates their body to ‘science’ they have no control over which study their body might be used in. This must change. They should absolutely be studying women who have died from breast implants. It’s the least they can do to prevent more generations from being harmed.
