Carmen shares the harrowing story of how she lost her breasts twice. After first having them removed in order to prevent her from developing breast cancer (to which she is genetically predisposed), she came to learn that her breast implants had been recalled by Health Canada, and that they were responsible for the barrage of health problems she had begun to experience.

What followed was a months-long journey through a medical & bureaucratic labyrinth, during which she faced adversity and obstacles at every turn, as she sought to have her breasts removed a second time.

Join us for a moving and powerful conversation about grief, tenacity, courage, and finding the strength to claim agency and demand answers at any cost.
