We missed you sigrun. thanks for checking in with us. love, Ilena ~~~

Hello.

I would like to thank you for the support that I got before my removing of my implants, that was done the 24th. of september and it was verry hard operation.

I was watching the Icelandic t.v. just a few minutes ago, it has been a International woman's conferance here in Iceland and Hillary Clinton is here and I listened carefully to what she had to say, and it was very intresting when they are talking about woman health and rights. so I thought after listening to all the women who were speaking that our voices should be heard in this womans conferance.

When they are talking about our health, I thought maybe when I start feeling better I will try to go and meet our x-presedent but her name is Vigdis Finnbogadottir she was in this conferance and she was the first woman in the world to be a president.

But as I see now after listening to all these woman we got a lot of things to tell them. They are talking about women educating and what woman should get paid for their work and sponsor. That is one thing I love the thing that I am doing to inform woman about the siliconeimplant but it is no payment or sponsor so I think that one day I have to do something because I tried to talk to healthminester and she helped me with 1000.- and that is not enough for 1 year by paying internet and phonebills and our group

is so small and we are trying our to do our best with the media. I am retiered because I had a doctorsmistake when they removed my right breast 1990 so all I get is 1000 dollars per month and then I am trying to pay houserent and everything that I need so it is not much left.It was one thing on that woman conferance that they were so glad that the woman from USSR and Baltic countries were able to be in this conferance that would not been able 10 years ago.

We tried to be in contakt with Norway,, Sweden Denmark and Finland and we do not get any answer from those countries and I do not think that they know anything about the Dow Corning case I tried to get addresse from the Tort.Com. and they told me 3 months ago that they would try to find names and but I have not got those names.So I thoought that they were talking about those Balticcountries but we can not get to the European countries with our infromation that should be easy I tried media in Norway but they were not intresant in this so now I am not able at this time to do so many thing while I am still in doctors hands and sick.

But if you could do me one favor it is to send thanks to all of those who supported me before my operation that was a lot of help but it is one thing even though it is hard right now then I am so glad that the silicone is no longer in my body.

Sincerely

Sigrun Iceland
