I mean, there are new types of breast cancers, as you know, that are coming out. Squamous cell carcinoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma. And the professor who was the surgeon that did my explant is constantly researching and finding new cancers all the time. So, I mean, this is why, I guess you, Dr. Tan, kind of just quiet and humble when I said, you know, you pretty much saved my life. Because it's not one of those things that, you know, you're proud of or happy of. It's just, I mean, it's what you do. And you watch somebody like myself and millions of others who sort of are suffering in silence in these underground support online groups, if you like, not being heard. And I guess to answer your question, Dr. Robert, Dr. Tanya and I have been working. I'm a certified wellness coach, food, lifestyle and wellness coach. Owned a chiropractic wellness practice for about 12, 13 years in Australia. And, you know, we saw a lot of patients that needed work from an integrative medical doctor. And that was Dr. Tanya Ash as well. So her and I met through co managing patients and clients, if you like. And one day she saw me online, you know, we're friends on Facebook, et cetera. And Dr. Tan said, could I consult you? And I said, yeah, sure. And it turned out that, you know, I had breast implant illness.
