Re: Explant costs covered in Canada?

[Guest guest]

-Katy,

Thank you for your kind words. For me it is the fact that I don't

want a single woman to go through what I went through, if we can sort

of pave the way a little with what we have learned then we can save

someone from some of the frustration and angst. I myself didn't know

how important total removal of the capsule was. I just had to go back

for another surgery last week to remove residual capsule, I didn't

know thi group when I had explant. I didn't have anyone.So if I can

help someone I will do it.Most aren't getting help from their doctors

and it is up to us to help each other.

Good luck in Canada, Have you talked with Dr. Blais?

I am pretty sure you will be covered, check with the Women's Health

Centre at the Vancouver Medical Centre.
