I wish to first thank anyone taking their time to read this. It is appreciated more than you can imagine.
This is a dual dilemma that I do not anticipate any solutions without your generous assistance. You will find out the world should know about the first.
Thirteen years ago at age forty three I was diagnosed with Stage 4, type 3 breast cancer. I received phenomenal care through chemotherapy and radiation. The only downside I felt were the blisters that showed up from my nose to my waist. But really, the focus was on saving my life, not any silly side effects, right? So around two years later I suddenly began to have pain in my mouth. In one day it went from ache to tears in a few hours. I was scheduled for many root canals to make it stop! Getting costly, I opted to try the services offered at a reputable dental school in my area that would take patients in at about thirty to forty percent cheaper rates. The high tech facility offered me the option to pay for a 360° X-ray that would give the resident dentist a better assessment of how to proceed. After I exited the large apparatus the technician directed me to a dental chair that when sitting in it, gave me a clear view of the X-ray films on the illuminated screen. She asked me when did I get the implants. What? I chuckled because I only had one visible breast. What implants I asked her. Clearly within the outline of my skull near each temple there were two glowing rectangles. There were wires attached to them that traveled down my face, about an inch under each eye connected to two things that resemble upside down screws. I took photos of the films and went straight home to tell my mom, my bestie, what was discovered. Guess what? Within a few weeks they denied I ever got the X-ray done at all. They continued, and may still will, to deny me my dental records and X-rays. I never was concerned why I had to get a cat scan on my head after surgery and I never inquired. If there are approximately 130,000 women diagnosed and treated each year for breast cancer, there could be potentially 230 million women like me over the past 13 years. I have spent these past years attempting to report it . The officials that were given this information , even when told anonymously . How safe does that make you feel? I'm sure I'm not alone and I plan to get the X-rays done elsewhere and present it with a civil rights attorney at my side. What's really scary is nothing ever alerted me that this was done. But I'm sure that if there was no purpose they would not be there. Someone has to get this out there, and my second story explains why I haven't focused solely on this.
