Been told that many times. I no longer tolerate doctors that say "you're too young to have....fill in the blank." We know our bodies!!! We live in these bodies everyday and when something is wrong we are the first to feel it. This poor woman was failed by her doctors. It's a damn shame. Very infuriating.
Your husband seems like a beautiful soul. Any man that can cry is a MAN in my eyes. Rooting for you. Hope you have a long and happy life with your beaitiful family😊😊
you are so strong! As someone who found a lump and went through the stressful three months of waiting for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, I know how overwhelming and emotional that journey can be. Your courage and resilience are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story-it gives hope and strength to so many of us. ❤
I just started my breast cancer journey. Just finished my third round of chemo. It must be super hard for you when you have young children that rely on you. You seem like a fighter. This is a tough road but I believ our mental attitude is the most important while going through this. I wish you the best of luck. It sucks these doctors poopood you for those twoyears
I wish u recover through thick and thin and lead a healthy life once again. U r a strong woman. A survivor is an icon to the future than those who give in to cancer . Let this yr bring the end of all the hardships. ❤
It is outrageous that no medical professional you saw ever suggested you have something as basic as a mammogram - AND a breast ultrasound - especially once the “cyst” grew. I am furious. At the time you first found the mass, young women were being diagnosed with breast cancers at a higher rate than in previous decades. As you said, had your doctor removed the mass immediately, your cancer might even have been caught when it was only DCIS. What a gross medical mistake those doctors made. It’s unconscionable. I hope your treatments eradicate the cancer entirely. I wish you and your family many decades of happiness.
You are beautiful, strong!! Thank you for sharing your story. I know how you feel my first cancer diagnosis was Brain second one was Melanoma Skin Cancer. I try to stay positive and strong because I have to much to live for! I will keep you and your family I’m my prayers🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗
I feel the same way. It’s just a lot of energy for her, in a way she might not want to spend it right now, to pursue a lawsuit. (Been there, myself. My sister would have sued my first doctor had I died.) However, it might be worth making a formal complaint to the medical board in her state. Scaring these doctors so they never do this to someone else again would be an option to consider. Sending you best wishes.
I’m so sorry for all you are going through! You are so strong and brave and I feel so proud of you ! Your advice to live to the fullest now is excellent!It’s very frightening how so many doctors make mistakes! I’ve listened to many of these stories and doctors miss things , they misdiagnose and it’s unnerving!
This is so sad I had cyst in my breast my gyn doctor did biopsy right there at my visit. My doctor suspected cyst did biopsy to rule out cancer. Breast cancer is strong in my family. I was 37 years old. My doctor gave me a copy of records told me to tell doctor in my new city I was diagnosed suspicious lump I won’t get turned down because I am too young. My biopsy showed no cancer but I got mammograms and ultrasound thereafter every year. Thank you for sharing.
Young lady, you are a beautiful human being. I have prayed for you & your family. Keep your strength & most importantly, keep your hope. I'm touched by your story.❤🙏
I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. For anyone else whose doctor isn’t listening to them, find someone new or tell them to note in your chart that you are too young to have cancer. That might make them think twice.
@@karenh2890 it is, isn't it. I'm sure it's sometimes that their egos can't take it if "just a normal person" tells them they know better, and there IS something wrong.
Omg omg omg. This is negligence. These doctors need to be struck off and all the patients under their care need to be reviewed. I hope you are okay. Xx
I know it won’t make it better, but you and your family should become quite wealthy from this medical malpractice. At very least, you should never have to pay for another medical bill with them. This angers me because they didn’t pay attention to you. I went in with a 16cm tumor and they paid attention to me because I was 59. This BS that young women don’t get breast cancer is ridiculous. When I was going through treatment, we had a 50/50 mix of women who were young and post-menopausal. The rapid increase of young women being diagnosed is scary.
I know what you mean, but that takes a lot of energy & a lot of negative energy. To fight cancer one needs positive energy not negative & anger. She needs to be with her family & embrace their day to day lives. Insurance companies have time & huge resources. Leave her be.
@@susanford2388 Why is fighting for your family’s future ‘negative energy’? And pretending to be ‘positive’, all the while knowing your future could have been very different, is a good thing? Do some research on the link between ‘nice’ people and their heightened risk of developing autoimmune diseases. It’s a very real phenomena.
@@MyPronounIsGoddess If you have had a loved one going through cancer you may have noticed they don't have a great deal of energy & what they do have they need for themselves to get through day to day & the next chemo treatment. Dealing with legal dramas whilst undergoing treatment is very hard on an individual. I know of what I write. Focusing on reams of information whilst going through chemo is very hard going. For a lot of sufferers being dizzy just standing up is common.
I agree. People can win lawsuits for stupid things that are their own fault, yet all they will say is radiologist or not obligated to give a definitive answer. And then they will say if something shows a low percentage, cancer risk, that’s not violating any guidelines . So the best solution is to change these instead of certain women being told they have to get an ultrasound every six months for two years in addition to a yearly mammogram, they need to shorten it to one follow up, which means one year from a time lump is discovered at most. I’m pretty sure there’s a sizable difference between a cancer that is, caught with one year of development, instead of the two they require for birads 3which basically means probably benign, but they can’t guarantee it. I really wish they’d stop terrifying people about cancer and getting mammograms when women are starting to find out from other women that a mammogram and even an ultrasound cannot give a definite answer. If someone has a lump and they cannot say it’s benign, they need to bump it to a birads 4 until proven otherwise. disgusting
You have no lashes and no hair but baby you are sooooo beautiful! I am so sorry this happened to you. It makes me so angry that these doctors ignored so many signs. You're a fighter and you're a survivor. I'm so happy that you have a wonderful support system. Keep moving, keep fighting. I am rooting and praying for you. Stay strong. I pray things go very well. Sending warm hugs and positive vibes your way.🙏🏽❤ Your babies are so adorable.🥰
I love your Choices of music!, especially Christina A. BTW you look really cute with shoulder length hair, and teaching your daughter with positivity words! ❤ Do everything right NOW!!
Thank you Kate for telling your story. I sincerely hope everything will go well from now on! It's pretty shocking and depressing to see on this channel, that doctors over and over downplay the worry and symtoms from all these women. Nah, you're too young for cancer etc. How many thousands of patients do they need to see, before they update and face reality?
Almost every single case on this channel begins with "doctors dismissed my cancer" I think there should be something in place to make it easier for people to take these cases forward. They shouldn't be the ones having to battle to sue, or at least get an apology...
My family runs with history of every cancer I have lost family members to brain cancer stomach cancer lung cancer I had thyroid cancer caught in time no chemo or radiation I have a sister who had breast cancer and right now I have a sister with multiple myeloma cancer and a cousin with breast cancer it sucks and I pray for Blessings for you this year to keep on fighting to win the battle🙏
I think we are married to the same man!! In all seriousness, I am so sorry the doctors dismissed you for so many years. While I don't have a cancer diagnosis, I was ignored and dismissed for 13 years by so many doctors. It's infuriating, and they will never admit they were wrong. You have a beautiful family, and I wish you nothing but the best going forward.
For some reason I am listening to these stories..and I am thinking the doctors in America are so not serious with what they sign up for....prayers from someone who has had breast cancer 4 years ago and i am cancer free......love and light to u fro halfway around the world in beautiful Guyana SouthAmerica 🇬🇾.... .
I'm a 68 year old woman, I have many friends and relatives who have had breast cancer, and my brother is an oncologist. I can tell you, that when a breast cyst is suspected, your doctor should tell you to keep watch on it, and if it doesn't go away when you menstruate, call to make an appointment for a biopsy. For a doctor to simply say, "It's a cyst, don't worry about it," is malpractice.
This is awful, no wonder why so many of us have a distrust in medical professionals. I know not all are negligent but I just can’t help but feel distrust after stories like these
I was just 30 years old in 2003 and told my doctor 4 times in different appointments that I had shortness of breath. Go and just exercise more was his answer. Then my mom took control. She went to the hospital and demanded an appointment for me with the pulmonologist. Two days later I had an appointment. It turned out that I had pulmonary embolism. I was in the hospital for ten days. My doctor who send me home 4 times apologized to me. He was lucky that I hadn't died. My mom wouldn't have let him get away with it.
Im sorry for you this is horrible. Its not that easy to sue. A doctor had to remove a lump in my throat cut the main nerve paralyzed vocal cords and in march 2025 it will be 20 yrs with a trach numerous lasering vocal cords and tried to sue and i was told it happens. So i had to pay for his mistake. Its been hell. God bless you
Was the doctor who told you about the cancer the same one who told you it was nothing to start? This is absolutely insane. Every time I hear these stories, I am even more grateful for my doctor.
I think Drs sometimes go by what insurance will pay for based upon age. Anything that’s a certain size should be checked via mammograms, ultrasound and biopsies. It really sucks that this happened to you and every Dr should be totally ashamed of their treatment or lack there of. We have to advocate for our care and push and push. So many people have been diagnosed with various cancers in the last 4 years. I am a breast cancer survivor and just celebrated 10 yrs of remission. My prayers are with you and your family. I had stage 2, double mastectomy and various recurrences so they considered me stage 4, but the hormone blocker really saved my life. Losing my hair was easier than when it was growing back in. Only 1 chemo treatment of the red devil will take your hair. I lost all body hair which was so great to not have to shave. I didn’t lose my eyelashes or eyebrows. It took forever to be able to use metal utensils because of everything tastes like metal.
I think they don't order tests as it costs money, especially in u k where we have nhs. Again, you are never too young for cancer. Makes you think they do this deliberately.
I’m in the UK and over the last 15 years have had 4 breast lumps that have all been investigated within 2 weeks - and all within the NHS. Amazing treatment. No argument. No trying to persuade the doctors to take me seriously. THEY TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. I was lucky. I hope your treatment is successful. Xxx
@gillsimpson4976 It's very hard to see a doctor now in uk, especially in my area. Glad you got swift action, but it's not always the case. I live here too
I’m so sorry that is happening. My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few years ago and was given 3 mo but he is still alive. He got on tecentriq. Is there anything else you can go on like immunotherapy? He was too far along they said to have surgery and so he hasn’t had any. Can they give you estrogen blockers instead of surgery like tomoxifen? My mom was on that for breast cancer years ago and she is still alive. Wheatgrass juice is supposed to help kill cancer and gets stronger if you wait a couple hours after it’s juiced or you can buy it frozen online. Thank you for doing the video. Doctors need to take concerns more seriously. And patients need to advocate for themselves, switch doctors or pay for the tests themselves. I hope the best for you and your family. ❤
I was diagnosed at age 28 with melanoma ( my aunt died of melanoma) my doctor told me it didn’t look like melanoma ( and he was a doctor so I believed him) 6 months later I picked up a copy of the readers digest ( this was 1986) opened it up randomly and there was a page titled “ The 10 warning signs of Melanoma “ I had all 10! I called my doctor the next morning and pretty much demanded a biopsy so he did it while continuing to say it didn’t look like Melanoma 😡it came back stage 2( they grade them differently now) and confirmed by the Mayo Clinic, I had surgery and promptly fired my primary doctor, since then I’ve adamantly stood up to doctors, ( doesn’t always mean they will change anything, if they don’t I see a different doctor) in my early 30’s my left breast started leaking fluid ( my son had been bottle fed) I literally went from doctor to doctor being gaslit because of my age when finally after 2 years of going to different doctors I went to an old surgeon with an excellent reputation who did NO TESTS and looked at me and said “ it’s one of 2 things, either Paget’s disease or a papilloma and he said I’m taking you to surgery Friday and finding out which one it is, he was 100% correct it was a papilloma in the milk ducts and he removed the ductwork and said it had not yet turned malignant but would have if left much longer, I will be 68 this year and still have to fight doctors to get appropriate care ( just fired my primary PA last month and found a new doctor, at my new doctor appointment I asked her some medical questions/ scenarios and asked her what she would do in those situations, by her answers I believe she is knowledgeable, caring and competent, BTW I am a retired nurse, fight for your care and don’t worry about what the doctor thinks! Best wishes
I am more sorry than I can ever say for the ordeal you have had to go through. It didn't have to happen. You tried and were not listened to by doctors you had been expected to trust. As women, many of us were brought up that doctors are some kind of special people. We have got to get over that ridiculous untruth to save our lives. There is NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT DOCTORS. They are just people trained in a different field. So get up in their faces and very, very firmly tell them to do the damn tests needed. Tell them that NO is not an acceptable answer. For doctors, patients are just a revolving door to make more money. I refuse to take any crap from them. I have lost too many family members that I loved because they were afraid to stand up to doctors. There are a few decent doctors in this world, but most are not. Actually, I have more respect for airline pilots than doctors. They have to go through more training and care for their passengers.
i really do not understand this,my daughter had a mass 5 cm and she is 14 ..they did usg and biopsi directly..it was fibroma..she IS too young!not a woman 35 years old ..i am really sorry for you..❤
If your doctor isn't listening to you, consider finding a new healthcare provider. As an attorney, I can also advise that in cases of negligence or harm, you may have grounds to pursue legal action against your doctor.
I’m so…..sorry 😢 I had a hysterectomy at 40 knowing my family history of cancer….but, at 59 I found a tiny nodule & so my 1st biopsy was in 2018 & came back as benign (I celebrated by buying myself a ring) but, I still insisted it be removed….my surgeon noted the day she removed it that it looked benign but, 4 days later I got the call that it was cancer & it actually had 2 cancers within the nodule 😶 So, I had to go back into surgery to take the margins, check the lymph nodes & internal radiation ☢️ 4 yrs later I found another nodule & my surgeon assured me it wasn’t cancer/couldn’t be cancer but, again I insisted it be removed & again it was cancerous & had mutated & so I chose a DMX / reconstruction 😶 Now I’m 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻They haven’t found the gene 🧬 within our family….My 45 yr old daughter just went through breast cancer / she’s the first in our 5th generation of our cancer tree 😢 & chose radiation/anti cancer meds 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My mother had ovarian cancer and when she lost her hair, I think it may have been harder on me than her. I took her to find a real hair wig which cost $2000 and was only shoulder length. I broke me.
I think se is in Canada... here with our 'free' healthcare we are turned down quite often for symptoms that are looked as 'unspecific' according to 'evidence-based' medicine...
I never comment ever. Sorry to hear what happened. You are in my prayer. I work in healthcare and I just want to add to everyone comment that when you go to the doctor please please provide all the family history that you know, it is very important. Mom’s ovarian cancer and BRCA gene plus aunt breast cancer history once added to the chart would have put you on a higher risk even if they thought it was a cyst. They would have likely send you to do MRI and biopsy earlier due being high risk. I just want to educate the viewers on the importance to advocate for yourself and provide everything you can think of family history. Health care provider are trained to filter which information is useful in that particular situation. Let them dissect the information, you just provide them all the informations you can think of. Peace and love to all

Get yourself a lawyer and sue those doctors. Letting it go was so irresponsible of them. Wishing you all the best.

It took forever to be able to use metal utensils because of everything tastes like metal.
I think they don't order tests as it costs money, especially in u k where we have nhs. Again, you are never too young for cancer. Makes you think they do this deliberately.
I’m in the UK and over the last 15 years have had 4 breast lumps that have all been investigated within 2 weeks - and all within the NHS. Amazing treatment. No argument. No trying to persuade the doctors to take me seriously. THEY TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. I was lucky. I hope your treatment is successful. Xxx
@gillsimpson4976 It's very hard to see a doctor now in uk, especially in my area. Glad you got swift action, but it's not always the case. I live here too
I’m so sorry that is happening. My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few years ago and was given 3 mo but he is still alive. He got on tecentriq. Is there anything else you can go on like immunotherapy? He was too far along they said to have surgery and so he hasn’t had any. Can they give you estrogen blockers instead of surgery like tomoxifen? My mom was on that for breast cancer years ago and she is still alive. Wheatgrass juice is supposed to help kill cancer and gets stronger if you wait a couple hours after it’s juiced or you can buy it frozen online. Thank you for doing the video. Doctors need to take concerns more seriously. And patients need to advocate for themselves, switch doctors or pay for the tests themselves. I hope the best for you and your family. ❤
Listen to your body and rest prayers for you and your family 🤗🙏🏻❤️🤗
I was diagnosed at age 28 with melanoma ( my aunt died of melanoma) my doctor told me it didn’t look like melanoma ( and he was a doctor so I believed him) 6 months later I picked up a copy of the readers digest ( this was 1986) opened it up randomly and there was a page titled “ The 10 warning signs of Melanoma “ I had all 10! I called my doctor the next morning and pretty much demanded a biopsy so he did it while continuing to say it didn’t look like Melanoma 😡it came back stage 2( they grade them differently now) and confirmed by the Mayo Clinic, I had surgery and promptly fired my primary doctor, since then I’ve adamantly stood up to doctors, ( doesn’t always mean they will change anything, if they don’t I see a different doctor) in my early 30’s my left breast started leaking fluid ( my son had been bottle fed) I literally went from doctor to doctor being gaslit because of my age when finally after 2 years of going to different doctors I went to an old surgeon with an excellent reputation who did NO TESTS and looked at me and said “ it’s one of 2 things, either Paget’s disease or a papilloma and he said I’m taking you to surgery Friday and finding out which one it is, he was 100% correct it was a papilloma in the milk ducts and he removed the ductwork and said it had not yet turned malignant but would have if left much longer, I will be 68 this year and still have to fight doctors to get appropriate care ( just fired my primary PA last month and found a new doctor, at my new doctor appointment I asked her some medical questions/ scenarios and asked her what she would do in those situations, by her answers I believe she is knowledgeable, caring and competent, BTW I am a retired nurse, fight for your care and don’t worry about what the doctor thinks! Best wishes
I am more sorry than I can ever say for the ordeal you have had to go through. It didn't have to happen. You tried and were not listened to by doctors you had been expected to trust.
As women, many of us were brought up that doctors are some kind of special people. We have got to get over that ridiculous untruth to save our lives. There is NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT DOCTORS. They are just people trained in a different field. So get up in their faces and very, very firmly tell them to do the damn tests needed. Tell them that NO is not an acceptable answer. For doctors, patients are just a revolving door to make more money. I refuse to take any crap from them. I have lost too many family members that I loved because they were afraid to stand up to doctors. There are a few decent doctors in this world, but most are not. Actually, I have more respect for airline pilots than doctors. They have to go through more training and care for their passengers.
i really do not understand this,my daughter had a mass 5 cm and she is 14 ..they did usg and biopsi directly..it was fibroma..she IS too young!not a woman 35 years old ..i am really sorry for you..❤
Enjoy your remaining time on earth with your family. Take it one day at a time, have lost a dear friend from metastatic breast ca.
If your doctor isn't listening to you, consider finding a new healthcare provider. As an attorney, I can also advise that in cases of negligence or harm, you may have grounds to pursue legal action against your doctor.
I’m so…..sorry 😢 I had a hysterectomy at 40 knowing my family history of cancer….but, at 59 I found a tiny nodule & so my 1st biopsy was in 2018 & came back as benign (I celebrated by buying myself a ring) but, I still insisted it be removed….my surgeon noted the day she removed it that it looked benign but, 4 days later I got the call that it was cancer & it actually had 2 cancers within the nodule 😶 So, I had to go back into surgery to take the margins, check the lymph nodes & internal radiation ☢️ 4 yrs later I found another nodule & my surgeon assured me it wasn’t cancer/couldn’t be cancer but, again I insisted it be removed & again it was cancerous & had mutated & so I chose a DMX / reconstruction 😶 Now I’m 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻They haven’t found the gene 🧬 within our family….My 45 yr old daughter just went through breast cancer / she’s the first in our 5th generation of our cancer tree 😢 & chose radiation/anti cancer meds 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Any issues with hiccups? That’s been the worst side effect from my chemo. Goes on for days.
Law suit 100%
If doctor would listen...
No such thing " too young for cancer".
My mother had ovarian cancer and when she lost her hair, I think it may have been harder on me than her. I took her to find a real hair wig which cost $2000 and was only shoulder length. I broke me.
Sue these dirty excuses for doctors
Oh, I found something when I was 14 years old and had a mammogram men I'm 65 now
This was clear medical malpractice.
I think se is in Canada... here with our 'free' healthcare we are turned down quite often for symptoms that are looked as 'unspecific' according to 'evidence-based' medicine...
Medical gaslighting!!!!!
❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
❤
Dismissive Doctors , long waits to follow-up, Insurance delays Etc. Etc. Etc. is what KILLS women & Men...
My friend called it chemo brain. It’s real
🙏🙏❤️❤️🤗🥰
I dont understand how the mass was mistaken for a cyst MULTIPLE times?? Anyone?
I never comment ever. Sorry to hear what happened. You are in my prayer.
I work in healthcare and I just want to add to everyone comment that when you go to the doctor please please provide all the family history that you know, it is very important. Mom’s ovarian cancer and BRCA gene plus aunt breast cancer history once added to the chart would have put you on a higher risk even if they thought it was a cyst. They would have likely send you to do MRI and biopsy earlier due being high risk. I just want to educate the viewers on the importance to advocate for yourself and provide everything you can think of family history. Health care provider are trained to filter which information is useful in that particular situation. Let them dissect the information, you just provide them all the informations you can think of.
Peace and love to all
My heart breaks for you and your family. My prayers are with you. Are you a follower of Christ/born again/spirit filled believer?
Check Andreas Kalcker and CDS
Doctors are humans & are not perfect. When you know your own body you have to be your own advocate. One, alas, is never too young! God Bless.
No. Being human is one mistake not a couple years worth.
@@victoriafrey6264 In 1965 my parents were told I had two weeks to live they got another opinion, I turned 60 last weekend.
Unfortunately a lot of us put too much trust in them because we assume they know more
@@kmoon33 I think most of us give them too much credit much to our own detriment.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be
saved.John 3:16-17
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:Acts 17:30
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.Luke 13:3
Jesus died for you on Calvary’s cross and rose again to offer you a pardon for all your sins. If you turn to Him in faith, you will know the forgiveness of your sins and have the assurance of
eternal life.
Jesus said, “him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.Revelation 21:4
