The FDA meeting has been tentatively announced. It will be held March 25th and 26th at FDA headquarters. Sign ups for speaking during public comment has not been opened up yet. Please start preparing for your travel if you plan on attending. We would recommend a hotel reservation that can be canceled and flight insurance just in case the government shuts down again and the meeting gets delayed. We would highly encourage patients who have been dropped from studies, those with BIA-ALCL, those who have shown remarkable improvement after explant (especially with supportive medical documents), etc. to try and attend.
For those who can’t attend in person, you may get the opportunity to submit a statement online.

•Link to fundraiser. We’ve decided to just split whatever is raised among those who have hotel rooms at the time of travel. Rooms will run approximately $800 a piece to house 4-5 people. Any donation you can make will greatly help the burden of expenses. If we get 32 women to attend, we are looking at $6400 or more.

We would love to see this petition hit 25k before the actual meeting date. Let’s show the media how serious we are.
