National Research Center for Women & Families, Inc.
April 1, 2011
In 1968, at the age of 22, I received silicone implants after a bilateral mastectomy. For years I tried to tell doctors that I was ill from the implants, it seemed that no one would listen, nor really cared to listen.
Then National Research Center for Women worked hard to let us women have a voice and tell our stories before the FDA. Their efforts gave implanted women the opportunity to present our stories to the FDA.
And, The National Research Center for Women did this more than once.. and are still letting trying
Not only for the implanted to be heard, but so the young women who are considering getting implants will know the truth about implants, silicone and saline.
There is much information on NRC website on many subject of interest to women and is unbiased information.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I spoke before the FDA twice on the silicone implant issue. NRC helped me by building my confidence. They helped me prepare for my speech, I wrote the words, wrote what I was feeling and told about my experience, they listen while I practiced. It helped me so when I spoke before the FDA I could say the word " breast " without feeling embarrassed and "cancer" without crying. Hard to talk about your body before strangers and relive the experience. My story and photo are on NRC's Website.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make none.
MY ROLE:
