Mother with breast implants told she deserved cancer

A mother of one said she was told she deserved cancer after she revealed that she was one of the women fitted with the breast implants that sparked a global health scare.

Lisa Fair is one of the 1,500 Irish women who were fitted with cheap, industrial-grade silicone implants made by the French firm Poly Implant Prothèse, which has since closed.

She was private about her breast operation but after the PIP scandal broke at Christmas she decided to take the step to speak out about her ordeal.
