    So upsetting how she was brushed off by her doctor I’m so glad this channel posts a ton of videos to educate all of us to listen to our instincts!!! She should not have been brushed off for. Year !!!

    What a wise young woman you are. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this. I had stage 3c ovarian cancer at 47 years of age, and just in January of this year, at age 64, was diagnosed with stage 0/grade 1 breast cancer. While cancer does change us, I’ve always felt I’ve got far more from the experience than was taken from me. I continue to try to grow and learn, as you are doing, as this is a journey, not an event. All the best to you - and happy travels in the future.

    I was diagnosed at 36 my your story is chillingly similar to mine. My 1 yo saved my life she stopped nursing and would always have to hold the “owie boogie” she would say 😭😂 my Dr blew it off 6 months later I was stage 3 breast cancer. These Dr’s need to stop gaslighting and ignoring us. Our bodies are letting us know something is wrong! Thank you for sharing your story

      Do it!!! Breast cancer survivor here. Anything under your armpit, around your clavicles and breast bone along with breast lumps are concerning!!!!!

    • @Ceerads
      @Ceerads Месяц назад +1

      And if you have dense breasts (many women, especially young women, have dense breasts), get a breast ultrasound, too, because mammograms don’t always pick up cancers in dense breasts.

    • @CrystalVIsMe
      @CrystalVIsMe Месяц назад +1

      @ especially lobular breast cancer because it doesn’t form lumps but spreads like a spider web.. dense breasts cause it to be found typically stage 3 or 4…
      Aunt was lobular stage 4 de novo and I was luckily found stage 2…

    What if they diagnosed her cancer, a year earlier? Less chemo, no chemo, no radiation, no surgery, only surgery, what? I wonder why they never talk about that, to spread awareness and ask pressure. Less pain, less risk, less side effects, but at the same time, less money for doctors and pharma companies. I can guess the reason.

    • @19th-Nervous-Breakdown

      How about more of a chance to survive? The earlier your breast cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chance it's curable. It's really sad that young women are often not taken seriously when they find a breast lump. I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and I'm cancer free 32 years later.

      The problem is they're only giving mammograms to women who are 40 and over. The age needs to be dropped down to 25.
