BNoble on BII

Another surgery down amazing doctors have my back

I haven’t been the most confident Sharing pictures post surgery. After my second surgery, this is what I am left with. It is not the end of my journey, however it is tough to see. I decided to share the picture because a lot of people don’t understand how much pain we are in. BII Survivors are some tough chicks!

Back Surgery time….hope i come out dancing 💃

AMade it through the procedure. Awaiting biopsy results…all so surreal. On Thanksgiving it will mark 13 years since I lost my mom to glioblastoma ….and 13 years since my cardiac arrest. I do not know how I survived that. I miss her to the depths of my soul. I have never been the same after losing mom, and I think about my daughter and all of the other daughters,moms, sisters and friends who are also living in fear of being taken from their families. My mother told me that she wanted to name her tumor so she could recognize amd take out her opponent. I think of all the people who have been so sick and unable to name their opponent until recently. We have been falsely accused of causing our illness or worse told it does not exist. This week almost broke me. I am fighting with all I have but mom I miss you. I think about what you said. She told mw to live the life you love, bucket lists should be life goals. Im hoping soon the pain will ease and tough Kristin will rise up. Until then thank you to EVERYONE who reached out. My hope comes from this disease finally being recognized. The FDA finally ⚠️ people this can happen. Now we need a treatment protocol. Until then we have each other. All of your experience, knowledge and emotional support is the hope we need. Day 42 down umpteen more to go. Praying for the serenity

Thank you for taking the time to share your story with Christine and I on Close to the Chest. You are a brave warrior and an inspiration, and thankful that together we are not alone. You put the sister in sisterhood And one day we will have # we really care credit. Until then let’s keep hustling! 💯❣️

Checking in for my surgery. So happy to have here.fingers crossed

From this to the new normal. Off to see if we can attempt to get these final scans. Afraid I’m too low in white blood cells for the port herring pic line in Westwood then scan in Santa Monica. Oh my poor Uber drivers lol

My second attempt at getting the MRI so we can get the insurance code and get me to explant and mastectomy. However they could not get the IV in despite the amazing nurse. Now we are debating a port or having pic lines inserted to make sure I can get access , hydration and blood each time ? Or risk infection before surgery with a port ? Sometimes I feel like the process could kill me before the disease. Fingers crossed we are getting close. I’m feeling so drained. Tired. Bruised yet determined and inspired by all the survivors who reach out and my friends who make me laugh and listen to me cry. Thank you for you

Sign the Petition FDA & CDC - Develop a medical code for sick women suffering from breast implants.

Hi ladies. I get to meet with the head of all plastic surgery at UCLA to find out why I have implants in that were recalled. My goal is to try and set up a process to explanat with him and share my story so he hears how hard it’s been to get treated They put these in after I was diagnosed in 2018 and they are worse than my first ones. Any questions we want answered ? This is the number 3 hospital in the US according to their stats. I hope we can get them to pave the way and create a program to fight for a cure for BIALCL

I would also like them to committ to educating their students and have them recognize BII as an illness to take seriously and treat with compassion

We’re any of you ever asked what type of implants you had at your Mammogram ? If they asked this they could prevent thousands of cases from advancing. Simple solutions yet allergen puts out an ad saying they are looking for us ?

Please help me help us. What would we like to know ?

Wanted share this article as a momentous moment In the history of BII. We are making an impact and the power is in our numbers. I am partnering with Cinena Libre Studios to share my story as one of the 900 women mentioned in this article. I need all of your help too. This is a purpose not a production and I hope one more catalyst for change. I’m choosing to be this vulnerable and tell my truth because im compelled to save other women like me. My mission is telling the truth and preventing this epidemic from killing more women. If you or someone you know has or is thinking of getting breast implants please read this. For those of you who have followed my journey to the truth watching me suffer from seizures to brain infections to deafness and cardiac arrest, thank you. Your support gives me the courage to know that just because I’m sick I’m not weak. I’m fighting back. Please read this and share the story. Knowledge is power and I hope my story can empower at least one woman to find her cure, and then sharing my pain and loss was worth it. Allergen I may not be alive to see my lawyers put you out of business but I will make sure my granddaughters know that silicon doesn’t ever go in anyone’s body and the only thing we enhance is our minds ! Please follow and share your stories here as it’s our job to track this disease. Communities are the networks of the future and I plant to grow this community into a group those making implants listen to , and those scared and afraid to explain find the support they need. I may not be here to save the millions of women who are about to face what I am but our stories can ! **kallergen

'They killed her': Why are breast implants still putting millions of women at risk? Allergan’s “medical aesthetics” products helped persuade AbbVie to buy the company. But what if the devices driving profit are also endangering women’s health?

Welcome to BNoble on BII, an interactive community dedicated to raising awareness about Breast Implant Illness (BII) and providing support for people coping with it.

We were inspired to launch this page by Kristin Nobles, who has faced numerous illnesses since first getting implants nearly 20 years ago. While continuing to fight debilitating health battles, Kristin is determined to turn her own crisis into an opportunity to educate, inspire, and empower millions of women like her.

Kristin is a social impact entertainment entrepreneur with a company that makes content designed to make a difference addressing a wide range of societal problems, from mass incarceration to drug addiction to under-reported illnesses like BII. Kristin assembled a team to make a documentary film to tell her story and others and shine a light on this only recently officially acknowledged condition.

We welcome your input and involvement. If you are coping with BII or think that you might be, we want to hear from you. You can message us here or email us at [email protected].
