    What do you do when your body rejects something meant to enhance it? On this episode of "Test Those Breasts," we sit down with Stephanie Grimaldi-Lang, a breast cancer survivor who faced an unexpected battle after discovering her breast implants were causing her illness. From her joyous family life filled with boating and off-road adventures, Stephanie opens up about the grueling journey from her breast implant illness diagnosis to finding David Light MD , a renowned breast surgeon, and making the life-altering decision to remove her implants. Stephanie’s candid recount of her research and resilience offers a raw look into the complexities of breast health.

    Stephanie's story doesn't end there. Faced with the challenge of a DCIS diagnosis in 2020, she had to navigate tough choices between radiation therapy and a double mastectomy. Through her experience with DIEP Flap reconstruction, we delve into the importance of self-advocacy and obtaining multiple medical opinions. This episode is not just for those navigating breast cancer; it's a testament to early detection, medical guidance, and the power of community support.
