Re: Fw: Please welcome ... daughter serious complicatoins from saline

[Guest guest]

I find it very interesting that this implanted woman was found to have hepatitis C, but no one could figure out where she got it from. Does anyone else find that odd? I have heard of several other implanted celebrities (Pam , Naomi Judd) who ended up with hepatitis,and wondered what was going on....we know implants can harm the liver. I just wonder about that....

I hope has found some help for her daughter...anyone hear back from her?

Hep C was one of the first things they tested me for...of course it was negative. It is odd though. Scary how many things it (silicone) can effect in our bodies.

I emailed her and haven't gotten a response. I was hoping the daughter would feel comfortable talking to me or just emailing me because we are exactly the same age, but I haven't heard from them.
