    How many young or younger people have to be diagnosed with cancer before the medical profession stop saying 'Oh you're too young for cancer'? Don't they know cancer does not discriminate against age, gender, ethnicity, etc? 🙄

      Clinicians use probability to try and develop a diagnosis. Rule out the most probable causes then move to the next most probable diagnoses. The vast majority of cancers are age related which is why doctors tend to think of other problems with young people. I was surprised at the large proportion of older people in the chemo chairs when I was treated for cancer.

      That's probably iodine deficiency. We have a lot of glans. Lack of iodine damage them and eventually cancer. Testicular, lymph, overies, prostat. And breast like her

      This same thing happened to a friend of mine who was 28. The exception is that she lived in a fairly rural area and all the doctors kept blowing her off. By the time they got the time and money to get to a big, decent hospital, she was stage 4. She fought it off, had a double mastectomy, chemo, etc. 2 years later it came back, in her spine. They tried to do the chemo etc again for 2 more years, but it just didn't work. She passed away leaving a 12 year old son and a husband, her parents and 3 brothers behind, along with a bazillion friends who loved her.
      If you've got something that you can feel, like the lump my friend had and this lady did, don't let the doctors blow you off! Male doctors are particularly bad about doing this. Keep going until you find someone who will listen to you!

      I was told my sister had thyroid cancer when I was 16. She is older and was 28 at the time. They caught it while she was pregnant and she refused to have an abortion to be treated because she had struggled to get pregnant.
      The cancer spread to her lungs and after she had her son she had surgery to remove her thyroid but they could not get it all.
      At one point they gave her 6 months to live.

    I understand your frustration with mis-diagnosing you because of your age. My son was finally diagnosed with Parkinson’s at a young age after several drs dismissed him as having a mental problem. They literally said it was all in his head and then one Dr said he had only a short time to live. We have to advocate for ourselves. I am saddened to see many younger aged women with breast cancer. I am in my 70’s with recent diagnosis of stage 4 MBC. I can only imagine what the future holds for me but I feel like I have had a good long life. ❤

      It is selfish if you purposely have a child knowing that your life might be short.

      @@annas7892has nothing to do with incompetence on their part. It has to do with insurance companies never approving these necessary testing after ACA became part of the healthcare in the USA. There’s not enough drs to fill all the medical fields as drs are making 1/5th of what a salary once was. Less graduates are going into the field now the govt has a hand in how they handle their patients & the multitude of additional paperwork & politics that is now part of the healthcare system. If the ACA was suspended or done reconfigured it would go a long way in drs being able to provide the best care to their patients & allow them to not have to jump through the red tape to get a simple MRI for at risk patients.

    Cancer has no barriers when it comes to age. I live in the UK and I had menopause at 40, I'm now 56 with fibromyalgia, my lower 4 discs in my spine are prolapsed and I have osteoarthritis and osteopinia along with spondylosis and ME/CFS. The pain in my body has been a little different for quite a few months and although I have ME/CFS I've been extremely exhausted and this isn't the normal effects I experience with my health issues. Due to brain fog and depression I forgot to go for my routine mammogram. I mentioned this to my eldest son but prior to this a few weeks before I noticed a bump between my clavicle and sternum and it's a little tender and looks like a bruise/red inflamed mark. Everyone kept saying I'd probably knocked it or was my osteoarthritis. On the 10th of this month I was laying in bed watching the TV and decided to do a self breast check and I found a largish lump in my right breast and on checking it it has the same markings as the bump I have. To be honest I panicked and spoke to my sons and they said I had to go to my GP the next day. My eldest son went with me and I've been referred to the breast clinic for a mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy on Thursday morning of the 25th of July.
    My elder sister had breast cancer at 51 and luckily she's survived and is now 65. I didn't mention to my GP about the different pain I've been having in my lower back and body but after listening to you I will definitely mention it on Thursday. My eldest son is going with me and he will keep me calm and ask questions and retain the information given. I can't say I'm not petrified because I am, even at my age. My sons only have me and they are my world. I pray you make a full recovery and live a long and happy life with your darling daughter and husband along with your family. I found this video very helpful and very informative. God bless you ❤xxx

    I am 29 now, but i got a kidney transplant at 25,i was warned that the donor had mono ( kissing disease 🤣 ) and i had not had it yet. There was a 25% chance i would get mono, and of that 25% there was a 1% chance it would mutate to lymphoma. Sure enough, about a month later i had SEVERE abdominal pain and went to emerge. After blood tests and an MRI i was told i had lymphoma. It didn't even phase me tbh, i took a few seconds before looking at the doctor calmly and saying " ok, so how do we make it gone? " was nearly admitted to the psych ward 🤣. 6 months later after chemo every other week, cancer free. Almost at the 5 year mark now, and doing just fine. Cancer never HAS to be the end, so long as you don't lose hope and listen to what your body tells you, nothing is impossible. ❤

Doctors alone can’t care for us - my GP initially waved off my belief I had any type of lymphoma despite symptoms and a bloodwork history I’d saved - and can’t decide for us what’s best. You’ve given careful thought to your treatments and what matters most in life, then made choices that were right for you.

    I was diagnosed with stomach cancer when my son was 5 and I have gone through 6 years of hell. I refuse to have him grow up without his Mum.

Knowing he needs me is what gets me through the weak moments. Such up the pain and just push through.

      While there has been an increase in cancer diagnoses among younger people, it is still the case that the vast majority of cancer diagnoses are among older people. Nevertheless researchers are working to understand the increases that have been observed. They can't just magically produce an answer out of nowhere. However the likely causes are related to diet, obesity and sedentary lifestyles, which are factors we can do something about without having to wait for clinical explanations.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36 and told this was too young. I was told 3 times there was nothing wrong before a biopsy.
    Even though it is less common breast cancer does occur in younger women. I wish there was more awareness around this. X

    Oh it makes me so mad, I have been working in the health field for my entire working career and saying "you are too young for cancer" is unacceotable!! Even if you were the only person under 25 to be diagnosed with cancer ever, you have cancer and the doctors ignored to possibility. To me it is misdiagnosis and you should sue the pants off the doctor or doctors that ignored the possiblity. There is a youtube chanel about a beautiful young lady who passed away way to young because she was ignored for the same darn reason and like you spent the remainder of her life educating people on avocating for yhourself.

It’s hard to explain the bravery it takes to continue seizing opportunities when you know all too well how things can turn quickly. You inspire me… as usual!

    If doctors could be sued for negligence every single time someone is misdiagnosed everything would change. How many times doctors dismiss your symptoms just because you don’t fit the criteria either because of your age or because you don’t have “enough “ symptoms all together to meet their standards to order more tests.

I’m a stage 2 hormone receptor positive breast cancer survivor. I was age 42 and this was in 2008. They recommended mastectomy in one breast but I opted for both breasts in case it showed up in the second breast down the road and for symmetry. I also had chemo - adriamiacin and cytoxin.

    This young woman is amazingly courageous and impressive. She was also incredibly unfortunate to have Stage IV breast cancer by the age of 22. It's not clear to me that there was some diagnostic failure simply because she wasn't immediately referred for testing. She was nevertheless referred quite quickly, from what I can gather, and since her diagnosis seems to have has excellent care. There is such a thing is over-testing which has been shown to harm patients and healthcare systems. I don't think it's for people in the comments to assme that her GP was negligent in some way, or that this is indivative of wider failings in healthcare, and that doesn't seem to be an axe that she is grinding. Of course diagnostic pathways can always be improved, and I'm sure that work is ongoing. We live at a time when the ability to diagnose, treat and cure all sorts of cancers is greater than it has ever been, and brlieve this young woman is testament to those successes more than any supposed failures.
