Back from NY media luncheon w/ Dr. Melmed

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I know I don't answer everyone all the time, but I do read your

posts to me and I greatly appreciate them! You are all wonderful,

wonderful women! Also, I wanted to let you know that I receive

hundreds of emails and I refer many of these women to this site for

more support and encouragement.

Okay, so for the latest updates with media stuff:

In New York, the National Center for Policy Research for Women and

Families (this is the organization that Dr. Diane Zuckerman heads

up) held it's annual media luncheon. The topic was on " Dangerous

Medicine " and I was in the company of amazingly intelligent people!

Among the speakers was Dr. Melmed, I, and a woman who was on the FDA

advisory pannel committe for silicone gel implants....she voted NOT

to approve them. Basically, the message of the lucheon was that

silicone implants of any kind, can cause bad results.

The media (there was about 20 different people there all from

different magazines/newspapers) was extremely receptive to my story

(and everyone else's) and my MTV video, which they played before I

began my speech. I truly believe that everyone was impacted by my

prescence, as I was in tremendous pain that day, and the reporter

from Newsday even cut my chicken for me, as I was not able to do it

myself.

I was honored and excited to be able to be a part of this, and I

look forward to every opportunity to share my story that will come

out of this.

I just wanted to let you all know the latest with our issue

Take care everyone!
