They're pushing for people to go to the GP about lumps and issues, but when we get there they don't believe us or take us seriously
Especially when your young, it’s like they are not even listening to you.
She was lovely on love island and lovely here. Wish you a speedy recovery Demi x
This is a clear flaw in the NHS system. She shouldn’t have had to push and push. As Dr Hilary said all lumps should be examined!
She should had to push gp should ask many many questions and test before send you home
Maybe if the tories funded it properly, it wouldn't be
This is a problem with GP surgeries at the moment my uncle was refused an appointment after complaining of a sore throat. A few days later his teeth fell out he manages to get a dentist appointment the dentist sent him straight to the hospital he has throat cancer.
Demi always stands out as being one of the most genuine and sweetest Love Island stars, such a shame she's had to go through this at such a young age.
Bless you Demi for being brave and drawing attention to the thyroid cancer awareness. Don't wait. Get checked. Push for more checks. 👍🙏
How was your life after?
I had my thyroid gland removed due to cancer, at age 29, 50 years ago. Thankfully it is a slow growing tumour and responds well to treatment. I too had to wait and push to get attention. Best wishes to Demi.
@@danl5961 Life is fine, thanks. I do believe I get tried more than I would have, if I still had my thyroid, but there is no big problem.
@@maryoleary2037 did you have children after? ( I am 28 and getting mine removed)
@@danl5961 Yes, I had one child before the surgery and two after. They did blood tests on the two babies who came after, for a year, to be sure they were okay. All was good. Best wishes to you...all will go well.
Have u follow any specific diet or normal diet.thanks for your comment through we came to know it was a about 50 years ago.. feeling hopefull
@@seemajhanb5671 I don't follow a "special" diet, but I have always made it a priority to eat well. I only consume meat about three times a week. I have fish at least once a week and I eat a vegetarian meal about three times a week. I make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I don't eat processed food and I consume very little sugar. I don''t take caffeine...no coffee, no tea, no soda pop. But as I said, that is not a specific diet, just sensible eating. I also don't snack between meals or eat after I finish my dinner.
My daughter has thyroid cancer and had her operation yesterday. Don’t have much time for love island contestants but good for her bringing this to everyone’s attention. I wish her a speedy recovery ❤️❤️
Lovely young lady hope she has a speedy recovery 💙🇬🇧X
I lost my friend and first girlfriend to cancer nearly five years ago. She had a fall and injured her leg which put her out of sixth form for quite a while and she was on crutches each time she could come in. Unfortunately, it emerged after a while that there was cancer in her leg that had spread to the point where it couldn’t be treated and we lost her just four months after she first got the injury so I echo Demi’s message. Act as fast as you can if something in your body is abnormal even if the professionals aren’t able to.
im so sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer last October after her appointments were continuously pushed back and by the time the results came back weeks later, she was too sick for chemo, it quickly reached stage 4 and we lost her 7 weeks after her diagnosis in December last year :(
@@ameliaascroft5453 Sorry for YOUR loss 😔🙏🏻. Hope you and your family are coping. This is yet more proof that cancer treatment needs just as much focus as it did before the pandemic. It’s just a terrible shame our NHS couldn’t save people like your Mum first.
Nothing can compare the joy in my heart for being free from this terrible disease Herpes,for a long time I suffer from it not until I saw a review on how Dr Iyere herbs on RUclips Cured someone from Herpes..I contact him and bought his medicine lucky for me I was cured and free,,,

Second female reality show cast member to reveal thyroid cancer within the last couple of weeks, the other just 25 years old. Hers unfortunately was removed but returned soon after and is now in the second round of treatment. Something to definitely be aware of for sure.
Who’s the other one?
love Demi. bless her such a beautiful soul. stay strong princess💛💛💛🎀🎀🎀✨✨✨💕💕💕
Going forward regardless of a pandemic you should be taken seriously!
Bless you, Demi- I hope you have a speedy recovery X The day before you announced you had cancer I went to the doctors to get a lump in my neck checked- they said it was normal part of my cartilage but now hearing your story it makes me doubt if they got it right (rightly or wrongly!).
You seem such a strong lady, you've got this x
Great work Demi! Keep showing love and spreading awareness! X
She’s so strong!!!
She’s an absolute wordie, so beautiful, bless her🥺😍♥️
I’ve struggled with Hypothyroidism ever since I was a Sophomore in high school and this has been my fear every time my symptoms get worse 🥺 These doctors overlook details and it’s so frustrating
Sadly there's not much point raising awareness with the public if they can't get a GP appoitment or are fobbed off when they do. The NHS is shockingly disfunctional and inadequate and this won't change until people stop holding it up on a saintly pedestal and start admitting problems, and hold it accountable for the people it fails
I really like her on love island .... glad to see she up and well again
I love the NHS and i’m so grateful that we have it but something needs to be done about people being turned away, and the time taken for appointments over potentially life threatening illnesses. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer in October last year after continuously trying to get tested and trying to book appointments throughout summer. Eventually when she was diagnosed she quickly became too weak for treatment and we lost her 7 weeks after her diagnosis in December last year. She had only just turned 60 :( it wasn’t her time yet, i’m the youngest of 4 and i’m 19. Miss you mummy 💕
Wishing you a fast safe recovery 🙏
I found a lump in my throat in 2013 I was 18 at the time, after being brushed off by ENT that it’s just due to horomones or allergies I wasn’t seen or checked upon for 2 years (this is WELL before the pandemic) I was told by my GP they didn’t need to follow up “it was just a lump” and although my quality of life had reduced, tiredness, weight gain and ALL the symptoms I was ignored “blood tests indicate I’m fine”. In 2018 I finally got seen again, had another biopsy and all tests indicated not cancer but it had slightly grown so I had it removed. It was cancer! It’s really not a new issue that thyroid issues are left years undiagnosed, not monitored or tested properly.
I've Hashimoto's Disease, autoimmune thyroiditis. The treatment for thyroid conditions in general is poor. Look on any thyroid support groups, so many people are being kept sick by poor treatment options and care.
Bless her 🙏🏽
God bless her
i love her
Wish you a speedy recovery Demi xx 💋
I’m glad she’s ok!
So grateful that people like Demi can spread awareness how the nhs and gps look past so many things. Keep fighting Demi xxxx
I hope you are on the mend soon. Xx
I don't get why comments are on for one article but not another, just sounds like media control again. Open up all comments!!
I had thyroid cancer it start right at the begining of the lockdown the lump grow and grow and my GPS told me it was a muscle spasm and it would go away I had to fight my gp to get referral to the hospital to get told they wasn't doing byopsey or operations due to the covid and don't worry about had byopsey in Feb operation march of this year to be told you did have cancer two forms but at least it wasn't an agressive form i had to wait over a year from op I tried to put complaint into the primary care trust to be told due to covid 19 they weren't taking complaints
I am so sorry you had to go through that, hope you are okay, i feel so angry for you x
@@clareb3960 thank you for your kind words it's been an awfull year. Iam still furious with the NHS for the complete let down and lack of care and the lies that the NHS were telling everybody that hospital were to busy cos of the covid but everytime I did manage to get an hospital appointment the docs and nurses were sat around eating crisps playing cards with no patients in the waiting areas . Iam ok now I will under care for the rest of life in case the cancer comes back but at least I no what to look out for now . Again thank you for you kind words x
Easy said than done to ask and book appointment with any NHS doctor or gp . My go doesn't listen to me no support or understanding. NHS should focus on prevention not to deal with sick people later
If it s a lump that is growing please get it sorted , I had one for ten years which was stationary then it grew from 12 mm to 55 mm in very short time 18 months and it turned out was a malignant follicular type fortunately so far so good after thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment
Btw the docs didn't do anything initially said leave it
It was the fact I had a accident that it was then re accessed
And sorted.
Thanks to the dog that brought me off my bike 😊
❤️🙏
I have Hyperthyroidism since 2018.
All last year cancelled my appt every monnth ..had blood tests..quite high level as compared to previous..suddenly dropped weight around 20 kg..
Having Carbimazole..next step Radiation therapy or Surgery..
I have this too but was told it’s nothing to worry about?
How comes gmb turn on the comment section for this subject but turned off the comment section when David lammy and thersa kofi was on this morning
Such a huge scare for her. Glad she caught it unlike another reality TV star Big Ange ☹️ She looks fantastic, the very best of luck to her
im 21 and just recently got over thyroid cancer and mine spread to my lungs
So sorry🙁. Wish you well🙏.
Girrrl, I had mine removed at 24 in 1995. Only found it by accident following up with a GP about something else. He checked my neck and throat, and there it was. I know you're not faking it. Have been cancer-free since, but with removal of part of the thyroid, I've needed follow up bloodwork and med.
In one sense, you're fortunate that you don't know it's there because you may not feel it. In another sense, it's a concern because it's sitting there growing.
In my experience, having children means you'll be tired, like, forever. But, at least you caught it and may not have any problems again.
Personally, I blame nuclear contamination and other pollution for the high incidence.
Hey I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid w/ graves disease a month ago, meds take a long time to work but I still have a goiter and im really tired all of the time. How would I go about asking my new endocrinologist to drain my thyroid? I'm 28, my mom and gma had cancer both more than once, young. I'm scared
having children?
@@danl5961 I had one child before the surgery and two after. All went well.
@@Ambersands123 My thyroid was removed due to cancer 50 years ago. Tiredness is part of my life, but I'm thrilled to be alive. I'm not sure that your thyroid can be drained. For cancer they remove the gland. For Graves disease you need to give the pills time to work. If the meds don't help, you may need to undergo radioactive iodine therapy, which can be taken as a capsule or liquid by mouth. Usually one treatment does the job. The radioactive iodine compound used for this therapy does not have adverse effects on other tissues in your body. In rare cases, a Graves' disease patient may need to undergo more than one radioactive iodine therapy treatment to get their thyroid hormone levels down. The majority of patients who undergo radioactive iodine therapy will develop hypothyroidism later because the cells that produce thyroid hormones have been destroyed. Hypothyroidism is easier to treat than Graves' disease because it can be completely controlled with daily medication. Please don't be scared. You don't have cancer. Even if you did, thyroid cancer has an incredible high success rate for recovery. I am living proof.
Does anyone know why the GMB channel started allowing comments?
i didnt even have a lump. I was learning how to use an ultrasound and randomly put a probe on my thyroid and found it. I had no symptoms, not on any meds, no medical history.I wonder how many young girls have thyroid cancer and have no idea.
You have to be assertive and challenge drs etc. Xx
I have Had Thyroid Cancer and removed 10yrs ago and Last year found a Lump in My neck and went for a Biopsy which confirmed I have a Warfarin Tumour and Lymph nodes in the bed of where My Thyroid was I was Put on the Non Urgent list for removal Last january I called them in summer to ask How Much longer would I be waiting well not this Year I then last Month received a Letter from Worthing Hospital to ask if I would be happier going to a different hospital as they have a Long wait list So Given My History I decided to Move it to the Royal London as they have My Notes on the Thyroid removal .Give My history I find this so worrying so its been one year Now Unbelievable if I had the Money I would Go Private but due to my history insurance went up so much was not affordable anymore
Why do the best people have to go through the worst.
Right 😒 it’s the worst
GP aren't on patient side at all it's a lie
TRUE!!!!
They are private businesses doing job for NHS!
True here in Ireland also! You go to your GP concerned and they send you on your way with an antibiotic as usual and they charge you €50!!
@@rebeccamcdonald4884 we have it good compared to the US lol
Three doctors per surgery if your lucky.... takes 10days of calling to catch a receptionist for an available apt!!! Every surgery is the same and it’s not fair on patients or doctors. Gov need to help GP’s they are the life blood of our communities. We need doctors that are stationed so they can know their patients. Gov need to help all surgery’s across the uk.. when your sick it’s so hard to make the effort to chase but it’s the only way. Not the GP’s fault.
I got a underactive thyroid will i get it?
No, just because you have an under active or over active thyroid doesn’t mean you’ll develop cancer. I have over an active thyroid x
Many people have an overactive or underachieve thyroid gland. That is no way relates to having cancer of the thyroid.

Crypto is profitable .I have been trading for years and I am overwhelmed at the money am making it from it
Crypto is the new gold .I bought Bitcoin 2014 I thought it was a wasted investment but. All I have is joy now.no regrets.
I bought crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price.i thought it was just buying and holding crypto.

#FreePalestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 why is good morning Britain not covering the genocide and ethnic cleansing that is happening in Palestine?
Not really the time
@@skyebutchart6766 So when exactly is the time to condemn oppression, genocide and ethnic cleansing?
@@aishaarshadalam3412 Well find a more respectful post to do it. Its also important that people know to go get lumps checked as they could be cancerous
@@skyebutchart6766 Wow. Find a more respectful post to talk about ethnic cleansing, genocide and oppression. Unbelievable. This is the Internet and I will post whatever I like whenever I like and where ever I like. That's how you spread awareness. You don't want to talk about the oppression taking place in Palestine? Don't. But don't tell others they shouldn't talk about it either. You have a nice life.

Thick because she pushed and pushed her doctors to double check her lump?.......
@@marniestephens267 Good on her for doing that but she once thought hollandese was the language they spoke in the Netherlands. I rest my case.
