Hello everyone ! My name is Catherine , you might know me as HellCath, a pin up model from Québec, Canada.
As some of you know , I have been dealing with health issues for about 7 years. The last 2 years have been horrible ... Not only did I stopped modeling , but I also stopped working , seeing anyone or basically do anything.

My body is constantly in a lot of pain , I have migraines , severe exhaustion , muscle weakness, restless legs syndrome , joint pain , muscle stiffness , rashes, limbs numbness , acid reflux , nausea , vertigo , asthma , brain fog , melasma, uncontrollable weight gain, sore lymph nodes and more...
I also broke my 2 feet without any logical explanation (left last summer , right just broke), had multiple sprains , torticollis and tendinitis , I also suffer from costochondritis since October 2018, plus I'm constantly sick (cold , flu , infections)

Doctors have been searching in vain , I tried tons of medication , exercises in hot water , cbd , acupuncture , etc ...nothing helps. Then I found out what have been causing all of this : my breasts implants.

I had my son at 20 years old , my body changed and I just wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin, so I decided to get implants. Surgeons NEVER mentioned that kind of thing could happen, they said it was totally safe and most of them still says ''it's all in women's head'' to this day. The FDA recently acknowledged many of my symptoms to be linked to breasts implant illness (BII) and I learned a lot through facebook groups. One of them has over 93 000 members suffering (or used to before explant) from their breasts implants. We are not crazy , our pain is real !
Please ladies , if you ever feel tempted to get breasts implants , look out for those groups and do your research carefully. Please , love yourself just the way you are , and I will try and do the same.


Those toxic bags have stolen the last 7 years of my life, precious family moments , friends gatherings, career opportunity , etc. My life completely changed , I completely changed... I want myself back , but the only way I can do this is with your help.

I always been an independent and strong woman , but as I said , this illness took away everything from me. It is still very hard for me to ask for your help today but I have no more options. It took so long , and so much money to try and find out what I had and try to get some relief. Now I'm left with nothing but my pain.

I know what I need to do , it scares the shit outta me to be honest , but I must do it , I feel like I'm slowly dying, poisoned by those shit bags. I need them out asap !


It is very important to get an enbloc removal of the implant with total removal of the tissues that formed around the implant to get rid of all the toxicity. A very few surgeons are doing this , and the cost is around 10 000$ CAD. I am not able to work due to the severity of my symptoms and haven't for a while and have spent all the money I had aside to cover basic needs for the last few years. As the studies on the possible impacts from implants have not been completed by the manufacturers as requested by Santé Canada, the BII is not yet recognize as a scientific illness and therefore no governmental help is offered. As the BII is getting more awareness (as well as implants related cancers) , law suits are coming, but it is a long and hard process that can last decades and I cannot wait anymore.
I set the goal to 13 000$CAD because I am not able to work until my health improves, and won't be for a few months after for my recovery so that's the least I got to get to be able to proceed to the explant. 

Please , donate anything you can , every penny counts. Sharing my story would also be greatly appreciated, to help me, yes, but also to prevent this from happening to someone else , or that someone sick with implants can learn what they have and that they are not alone.

My son and my family need me and I need myself back. Please help.

With all my gratitude , love and respect ,

Catherine
