Remarkable Journey: Breast Implant Illness and Cancer

Remarkable Journey: Breast Implant Illness and Cancer is the story of my two different breast cancers and the subsequent illnesses from a ruptured silicon implant and a mold-filled saline implant. From my journals, I document the strange and spiraling illnesses I experienced with no idea they came from my reconstructed breast implants. I felt frustration with not being believed extending to my physicians, my family and friends. I knew something was wrong. When I found out from social media how many women are affected with similar symptoms, I felt betrayed by the medical establishment. The book is written in two voices. The earliest writing was taken from my journals and is a raw expression of my journey from being bucked off a horse through my explant decision. Four years after the explant, I want to bring help to women in their physical, spiritual, and emotional health through my experiences of breast implant illness.
