In this episode, myself and Robyn Towt discuss the lack of options breast cancer patients are given after undergoing mastectomies and the missing education she herself experienced with the dangers of breast implants. She will share her own decision to remove her implants, choosing to love herself, embrace her body for all it had gone through and have a ‘flat’ closure.
Robyn Towt is co-founder of GPAC, Global Patient Advocacy Coalition, raising awareness about breast implant safety and proper informed consent. She has shared her testimony twice at the FDA in Washington D.C., is an administrator in various online support groups for women & has worked extensively with Arizona legislators in passing an informed consent law for breast implant surgery. Robyn also partnered with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to develop a patient decision checklist that was adopted by ASPS in October 2021. Robyn is a member of ASPS Breast Implant Collaborative Council (BICC) and has attended the ASPS annual meeting as a guest speaker on the patient discussion panel.
I am your host, Marci Nettles. I have had a lifetime of opportunities where I had the choice to Breakdown or Breakthrough. It is my hope this Podcast may become your light in the darkness, as you listen to the stories of people I consider “heroes.” Each one had a point where they too had to choose to either Breakdown or Breakthrough!
Thank you for listening!
