You poor thing - hope your ok. I know how u feel I was the same. I had myself all worked up and came out after the scan with a rash all over my neck - something I had never got before probably nerves. But my scan was all clear and hopefull yours will be too x0 -
wow did u see the comments after that articleFunnyfakename wrote: »Hi ladies,
I just saw this in the daily mail and thought that you might want to read it. One sentence in particular struck a chord with me, when Nigel Mercer says "I don't think we will have definitely caught all of the women". I hope you don't mind me posting it.

Hi jojom
Unfortunately its quite common for you not to receive your photos along with your file. Im currently fighting with my clinic to have my photos included with my file. The answer they gave me was that they are the property of the implanting surgeon. Complete bullsh*t but theres not alot we can do about it.
Im getting more and more frustrated as the days go on with the whole saga. I'm absolutely furious, they girl in the clinic keeps telling me to ring her if I need anything or if I need help, but as I keep telling her, there is absolutely nothing she can do for me. We need to be able to talk to the big wigs in the clinics who call the shots, not frontline personel. #bangingheadagainstabrickwall.0 -

Hello Ladies,
Hope you're all doing as well as can be expected. Just wanted to give you all a quick update on everything that's been going on to date. We do apologise for being off the boards radar in recent weeks, but please note that we have been very busy. I will update you all regularly from herein.
March proved to be a busy month for us. We met with the Irish Medicines Board. From this meeting, we got to have a meeting with the country's Chief Medical Officer. We showed him the statements that some of you ladies sent through to the website, and they proved to be very valuable in that this was the evidence we needed to show him. He was appalled by the treatement of patients of one particular clinic, and has since met with that clinic. In fact the Dept. of Health met with all the implanting clinics and the Irish Medicines Board.
Some of the ladies met with Patient Focus Group, www.patientfocus.ie. They met with two very influential and lovely ladies there, and they've helped us greatly in working on a care package for every woman in Ireland affected by PIP. Check out their website for further information, and feel free to contact them for any help or advice.
The PIP issue has also been raised in the Dail recently. Legislation has been passed and is forthcoming, not as quickly as we'd like, but hey this is Ireland! Positive outcome.
3 of the ladies from PIP Action Group got an hour's notice last Thursday to get themselves into the Dail as the Irish Medicine's Board were conducting a meeting with TD's, and we were tipped off to this meeting. So everything was dropped, including 9 children! to make it in and see what was going on. They met with a TD afterwards, and as a result of this attendance in the Dail, a cross party committee will be formed by the TD's to help us in our cause for PIP ladies. Our very own lady Sarita ended up with the RTE1 newsteam back in her house afterwards, and appeared on the 6pm news last Thursday also.
TD Anne Ferris will be heading up this committee, along with a few other colleagues and then it's all systems go. This is a another big positive for the group and for affected PIP ladies as a whole. We have also been asked back to the Dail to put forward our presentation to all TD's on the 24th April, and we also have a follow up meeting with the Chief Medical Officer.
So it's looking like April will also be a very busy month ahead for us also. 0 -
