I hate how dismissive some doctors are when it comes to cancer. Thank you for making this video, you probably saved hundreds of lives. Anyone can get cancer, young or old. It doesn’t matter if you’re low risk or high risk, cancer doesn’t discriminate. It’s time for doctors to actually put the needs of their patients first. Best case scenario is that nothing is wrong with you, worst case scenario is that you have cancer, but is curable because you advocated for your health and detected it early. ❤
I found a lump and have been blown off twice now. Im finally going in for my biopsy tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm definitely going to be vocal about my feelings!!!
Samantha Lynn cancer is a incomplete/damage cells mutating/dividing. chlorella stops cell division. google what stop cell division or mutation if you want more than one option. research before taking and ask a naturopathic doctor about it. here's a article about chlorella/chorophyll: www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2009/12/protect-your-genes-from-deadly-mutations
IT'S because, young women have very dense breasts, especially those who never had a child Many times boyfriends, husbands find lumps first. Even my husband knew when my period was coming since he said used to feel different right before menses
Not true about dense breast tissue! You can have dense breast tissue all your life! I don’t think mammograms are enough if you have dense breast tissue. Women should be given an ultrasound, too, and insurance should cover it!
Have to say for such a serious subject in this video, you actually made me laugh. Just casually texting people and dropping that bomb and you were like “I have to get better at telling people this...” it was just the way you put it over was priceless. You made me cry too, describing in that room you were looking at the faces of your parents and boyfriend and how it was affecting them before thinking of yourself, that’s pure love right there. You are beautiful inside and out, honey.
I have to say that I agree with this comment. I thought the same thing. I saw an innocent, beautiful soul while watching you. But I like your attitude. Stay positive and strong, as the mind is a powerful weapon. Think positive, continue to seek for medical suggestions and educate yourself a little more on the subject. You’re incredible; such a positive attitude. You’re absolutely on the right path, but take this serious and take care as soon as yesterday. Don’t allow your emotions affect your recovery and the search for a better tomorrow. Loved loved your attitude. It will make everything easier for you and your treatments. Also, thinking n worrying about your love ones, ahead of you and their feelings, says a lot about you , your heart and personality. Your God’s angel. Stay sweet n share updates. Huggies from Florida . Prayers. God bless . 🙏❤️
I decided to go back through your videos to see how this all started. I’m so sorry that you have had such a rough journey with medical professionals. It shouldn’t be this way.
I know firsthand how annoying it is to have them brush you off because you're young. I was 19 when I got diagnosed very late with Stage IV neuroendocrine cancer, partially due to not listening to my own body, and partially at the fault of the doctors. 24 now, still fighting it today. You've got such spirit in you and I commend you for posting these videos and sharing your story. I'm so happy you have such a great guy by your side as well. We will tough through this, Samantha. So glad I found your channel
I asked for a year to get some medical professional to look at an odd growth on my leg. Finally, one PA said, well if you're word about it, you can go to a dermatologist. A month or so later they diagnosed stage 2c melanoma. Lesson is we know our bodies and simply must advocate for ourselves.
You are so strong and beautiful. I found out i had breast cancer at 30 on 2/22/19. Worst day of my life. Got a double mastectomy and just had my second surgery for my reconstruction. I don’t know if I could handle a diagnosis at 22. You are so unbelievably courageous. God bless you and here’s to good health for all of us in the future. Cancer free! 🥂
You’re so strong, we kinda have the same story, they just diagnosed me with breast cancer, I’m still in shock, and I want everyone to make sure they are getting their mammograms and doing self checks as well, I’m only 28, but with GOD we can and will get through this
@@SamanthaL I’m really trying to decide which is the best options, it’s like I have no one to talk to who have been in this situation, waiting to see an oncologist to get the process started,
I’m 24 and I was just diagnosed with Stage II Breast Cancer. It’s in my lymph nodes, but not anywhere else. I feel the same way!! Like yep. This is it. Let do this. I’m just keeping on, keeping on. 🥰 4 more rounds on chemo, our treatment is the same. I already have two daughters and was done having kids, so I’m thankful that everything happened out the way that it did. You’re totally a badass. I love it. I hope you’re doing well! ❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing,am 26 and I noticed a lump in my right breast in April.i went for a check up and the doc said at my age it's a fibroadenoma.over all that time I noticed it was really growing.i changed the hospital,did a biopsy only for the positive results to come out.starting my chemotherapy tomorrow 🙏
I first noticed a lump in my left breast 2 years ago and did nothing about it (I know terrible) but I’m finally going to see a doctor about it. I hope it’s nothing serious but watching this has let me know not to let the doctors dismiss me bc I’m young Update: it was just a fibroadenoma! My doctors were incredible and got me in for a biopsy and didn’t dismiss me at all
Good to hear that it was nothing!.If u don't mind me asking, where is your lump located on your breast and how does it feels like? I found a lump and it's almost two years already same like you and didn't get it checked thoroughly. I did get it checked with a doctor before but she only did physical examination with me and she said it could be fibroadenoma as she said movable but i didn't get tested further. My lump is located on my lower right breast and it feels like it does move only like side to side but im not sure. I'm now living in fear as i never get to the end of it.
22?? That’s really young. I’m 36 and adopted. I know nothing about my bio family and may start getting tested soon. Your a very strong woman. Your spunk and upbeat attitude says it all.
I always advocate this to other women that cancer doesn't discriminate and that you are your body's best advocate. If it doesn't feel right get a second opinion. I was diagnosed with breast cancer myself at the age of 28. Had chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation and now hormone therapy. I'm turn ijng 34 this year and doing well. Now after 5.5 years I'm starting my egg freezing fertility. It's a roller coaster emotional journey but you've got this and will survive :)
I’m almost 21 and noticed a lump in my breast like a week ago😳 I’m hoping it’s nothing but breast cancer runs in my family so I’m just a tiny bit worried.. thanks for sharing your story!
i have a lump and my doctor made me feel like i have nothing and I'm not old enough but I've had it for months and i think about it every day and have anxiety about it all the time.
Same here. My last check up on it was August last year but im really scared my doctor is wrong but he assured me im not and said an ultrasound is not needed cus it will confirm its nothing. On my first check up in 2019 he said i have fibercystic breast condition so idk 😣 im just 24
I am so sorry that the first doctor didn’t take you seriously. I’m 22 and just saw a doc for a lump who luckily instantly took it seriously, but was still calm and assured me to not worry for the worst, and I have an ultrasound scheduled to check it out. No matter what your age, you know your body better than anyone else. Advocate for yourself!
That’s awesome! I trusted them too much and also never believed it was anything to worry about so in a way you could say I also didn’t take it seriously enough. But you live and learn…. I hope your ultrasound goes well and everything comes back ok!
Failed? She was properly diagnosed. It’s rare for someone her age to have breast cancer. If every woman who went to their doctor to complain of a breast lump got a biopsy it would use way too many medical resources and put people through procedure they don’t need. Her original doctor, while she could’ve worded things better, did the right thing. Try to reduce inflammation, treat with antibiotic and go from there. It’s terrible she is having to go through this but the idea that the “medical field” failed her is a gross over exaggeration.
@@cameronh1530 Everything worked out, so I don't blame that doctor much anymore. It is super rare and she would have no reason to think I had cancer that young. I do wish she sent me for the ultrasound earlier though. Breast cancer is rare in your twenties, but a lot of woman who do end up getting it then, have a very aggressive type. If my cancer was more aggressive, waiting weeks to get tested would have not ended up well. Thankfully, that was not the case for me, but it could have been, and getting an ultrasound just in case wouldn't have hurt anything
@@cameronh1530 - this idiotic attitude ''give antibiotics'' is what has caused multi-drug resistance! At 29, I found a l.i.b which was removed 3 days later and proved to be a fibroadenoma. End of story, so simple!
I fought cancer this time last year. HR positive her2 negative cancer. I was 25 when I was diagnosed. I had the lump from the time I was about 21/22. You will get through this!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i’ve been dealing w really bad breasts for 10 months (i just turned 18) including discharge, lumps, etc etc etc etc.. and my mammogram test is tomorrow. i’m so nervous..
Roxana torres all the best hun .I am having sharp pains on my left breast and some sort of lump that’s is why I was going through all the videos and comments.All the best on your diagnosis and hope you feel better soon ..❤️
14:10 my friend called me 30 minutes ago and told me she was upset I forgot to tell her my doctors are investigating my lump for cancer and found 2 others. So when she called me back 30 minutes ago she tried to tell me she was a little p!ssed at me and she was worried but I'm ok with whatever diagnosis they give me. She hurried if the phone and she sounded like she was crying, but I need to be ok with whatever happens... I dont mean to sound cavalier. I cant allow every waking moment to be surrounded by the lump on my breast. And even if I'm diagnosed I will try my hardest to not let death consume my life. I love your personality and thank you for sharing your story because I dont want to be annoyed with my friend. Maybe she is really hurt, but I'm not ready to be hurt, I just want to take it one step at a time. I had my doctors move my next imaging moved earlier.
Almost 3 years out from my diagnosis..... hugs to you. I still don't feel like I have "recovered" from my treatments in '17 and '18. Not letting them treat me again, but then I'm 60, not 23. All my best and I am now "catching up" on your story.
Good morning! I’m 24 I found it I had breast cancer last year at 23 I’ve been wanting to make a vlog on my journey everyone keep telling me as well but I’m camera shy and horrible at speaking as well but you definitely just encouraged me to get up and do it!
I'm very thankful I caught it when I did, but I wasn't doing checks as often as I should've been, so it could've been caught way earlier. That's why I want everyone to know how important it is to pay attention to changes in your body because even though it is extremely rare, young people can still get breast cancer
I found your last video and had to start at the beginning. God bless you. I am a 6 year Breast Cancer Survivor but my experience was so much different from yours (which by the way those dismissive doctors are horrible) God bless you my Pink Sister🙏🎗
YOUR SO BRAVE. I'm 23 and searching this bc I'm scared I have skin cancer. God bless you baby. Your beautiful and funny. Keep fighting. Your going to win.
You told this story so well. So straightforward. It's the way I would feel and speak it. Wow. What amazing bad luck that you had this, at this age! It seems like more young people are getting cancer, or is it my imagination? I feel amazed I got to MY age, and I still haven't had any serious cancer, even tho I smoked heavy for years, (I loved smoking...) before quitting. Still. No cancer. I am so sorry you got this! Good luck. Stay strong. I will subscribe as I want to know how things go for you. God bless you!xxxxx
Thank you so much! It is unfortunate to have cancer so young, but there are so many amazing things I have learned from this experience so far that I am very thankful for :)
Your story is crazy I agree with the previous comment, the medical field failed you. They do this so often with young patients, just because its rare doesn't mean it can't happen. I'm 27, and years ago I started developing breast pain in my right breast along with some lumps, I told my doctor, who said the same thing to me! "Oh you're too young its probably fibrocystic tissue or cysts, you'll just freak yourself out" I eventually got a ultrasound at 25 they found two cysts and said I was too young and had no family hx of breast cancer and the radiologist actually laughed at me. Then a few months after that, my mother found out she had invasive ductal carcinoma. its been a year since my mother had cancer, I still have pain that's worsening and the lumps are getting bigger. I have a new doc who I just saw last week, she's ordered me a mammogram and another ultrasound. Im hoping its nothing but now Im scared because I've waited so long, and no one before took me seriously.
How did it go E M? Hope it turns out to be nothing. I had similar cases to yours. Found a lump and get i checked and dr said could be fibroadenoma. So i didn't think too much of it. But like a year later we found out my mom has breast cancer and she's now in treatment. This has made me worry ever since! Want to get it checked again but im just not that strong now. I feel like i don't want to add another worry to my family but couldn't help feeling scared everyday.
I can’t believe this happened to you! They failed you and it’s very upsetting! I am a cancer patient as well and it took them over a year to find the cancer and that was only because I kept going back to the doctor due to the symptoms. They kept telling me nothing was wrong with me initially but I know me and I knew I was sick. I was 33 years old with Stage 3 colon cancer.
Never too young to develop cancer and I really wish doctor's would take it seriously. We just lost a friend to a rare form of breast cancer ( spindle cell carcinoma ) she was early forties. Bless everyone who is suffering from this horrible disease.
I think, something is different with these young people Boomers and gen x, didnt seem to get this..under 25 especially. Is it diet? Sunscreen? People not soaking up vitamin D3 from sun? Not enough sleep?
@@kathleenking47 I definitely agree and wonder if diets heavy in meat especially red is a contributing factor, also environmental with all the toxins and pollutants we are exposed too . Who knows .
@@kathleenking47 I think you may be right. When we grew up the food was different and there were not that many fast food choices available. Most people ate at home and eating out was a treat. Today, what we call food, even if bought in grocery stores, has many more additives that we never heard of in the 60s.
Get cured from (CANCER) after using herbal medicine was a dream come through after 3 years. I got in contact with DR MOMOH ALUYA on TH-cam who helped me with natural roots....
Listening to this I am so glad I live in South Africa on medical aid. I have had 2 open heart surgeries, numerous ICU visits on life support - fantastic care!! Go St Georges Hospital!!!
Thank you for sharing your story my daughter had the same thing happen to her primary did nothing now has stage 2 breast cancer luckily went to gynecologist because of her age 30 years old😢
I’m 24 and found a lump in my right breast 2 months ago. Grateful my doctor ordered a mammogram. I’m currently waiting to schedule an appointment so I’m really anxious. Really hoping it isn’t anything serious. It’s also scary since breast cancer has affected 2 women in my family.
your amazing during my whole treatment i cried, slept and watched youtube, hid under the blankets, chemo affected my cognitive ability so bad i couldn't even figure out how to get my cloths on let alone drive . its funny now, but back then it was awful. i now know how Alzheimer patients feel. i would have never made it to hydration and treatments with out my mom and sister, i couldn't even keep my meds straight. did you experience any cognitive problems on chemo? it was awful looking at my cloths and understanding they go on my body but not understanding how to get them on my body. i remeber not being able to regulate the shower temp id either be burning myself or freezing myself, i think there were times i got in the shower and never washed with soap.... and after my first round of chemo i forgot how to walk down stairs and my son and mom had to teach me to do that...it was crazy. i literally felt like my top half was disconected from my bottem half and i was just two pieces with the top half just floating over the bottom half.
I'm so sorry, that sounds so miserable! I sometimes had to concentrate really hard to be able to walk around, so I understand a little of what you're saying, but I never got that bad
Hello am in my 3rd year with my cancer and my life has changed so much at the moment i am cancer free but all the treatment has left me so weak i have good days and bad i had my radiotherapy and chemotherapy i 2018 .i spend my time on youtube but i have only just started subscribeing to other people who have cancer. I use to work 12 hour shifts looking after the elderly i worked at the same home for 16 years and on my days of work i use to look after my grand . kids. At the moment i am feeling so lonely some days i can not walk i am 48 years old and feel far to young not to be working. I think its going to help me listening to other peoples storys because i understand. I have subscribe to your channel . Listening to other people will stop me from feeling sorry for myself .loved your video big hugs for sharon 😊xxxx
Thank you for making this video. It’s excellent and I hope you keep telling your story as it unfolds. I’m sorry this is happening to you. I went through it last year. It’s scary and not fun and I found out how strong I am. You seem very strong too❤
Hey Samantha, Suzanne sent me this link. I am rooting for you! I'm about to start retrieval and I want you to know that your courage to get it over with - and to survive - is really really inspiring. You and your fam are in my prayers every day!
I’m watching this video absolutely terrified right now. I found a very large lump in my left breast heading towards my armpit. I’m going with my husband next Tuesday to get it looked at. I’m 36 years old, Have a family history of breast and cervical cancer. I have two sons and been married for 15 years. I’m so scared right now Praying my family and I can be strong throughout whatever God has in store for us 🌺
Samantha Lynn Hey thank you so much for taking time to respond to me 🌺. I subscribed to your channel today as I was searching for hope and insight into what may possibly be happening with my breast and if it is the big “C” hope and inspiration for that journey.... I just think you’re a awesome , strong, and inspirational young lady 💕. I will come back here next week and tell you what happens at the Drs... Weird besides my husband your the only other person I’ve talked to about this so far. I don’t want to scare my family and this video let me know that if that time comes I better have a good way of telling them 😉. Thank you for the video it gave me honest answers about what I could possibly expect as far as the biopsy, ultrasounds, etc....
Abigail Russo gosh thank you so much. ❤️. I’ve had a horrible day so far.... My anxiety has gotten the best of me and I’ve thrown up three times today Ugh 😫 Just trying to rest but keep my mind busy at the same time till Tuesday morning. 🌺
I am 26, at 22 years old I complained for a while to my family doctor, she said I was too young to be worried about such things. This month I had enough of having this weird irregular bumps on my breast and not knowing what it is. My new doctor scheduled me a mammogram for the next month. I am so stressed already, this things are scary. Hope everything is okay, but I can't stop thinking about if I have something....and if I had pressure my doctor more for some exams...
For modern medicine I believe, it still is RARE for women under 40 to get these Could it be, people not sleeping? Because of social media? Diet? Not enough sun?..because of sunscreen? etc
Thank you for sharing your story. Its very educational and "real"....unfortunately your experience is more common than you think. However, sharing this story will empower other young women to never give up and and demand to be taken seriously, no matter what your age..I wish you the very best and will subscribe an follow you as you go thru this journey. Peace and love to you.
LiV I have the same thing in my left! It flares up closer to my period and swells around that time too. It’s fibrous tissue but I swear it’s from always putting my phone in my left bra when I was in middle and high school. Goodluck!
Wish your mom had been with you on your first apt. Doctors want to put you on antibiotics every time. What happen to blood work then biopsy right away? Sorry you are experiencing this. Your young so that’s a plus. Stay strong and have a Merry Christmas. Your a sweetheart💕🙏🥑🎁🎄🦋
I am really annoyed by the lack of competence by the primary and radiologists and the idea that she questioned you about being what a hypochondriac? I cannot think of any 22 year old that goes to the doctor just because....The first doctor could have ordered a ultrasound or a mammogram to just check , what a cluster. Thank you for sharing so the rest of us keep pushing past arrogance and ignorance.
As a guy I at some point started feeling pain in my left breast when my GF hugged me. My doctor: "probably inflammation, take ibuprofen". Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the gynecologist. Gynecologist: "ultrasound seems ok, probably bacterial, take antibiotics for a week" Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the hospital. Hospital: did another ultrasound and photos, checked the blood, said the breast is enlarged but otherwise things look normal. I should apply cold wraps and come back a couple weeks later. Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the proctologist. Proctologist: took blood samples in two week intervals and checked the hormones, said the hormone levels are normal. But he could always take out the glands in the breast that men also have in there, because "glands are always a source of trouble". I rejected that suggestion so got sent back to the hospital. Hospital: took more photos and a tissue sample, said tissue seems fine. I should just wait and come back if it gets worse. Over the next couple months the breast got over time less painful (but stayed slightly bigger then the other). Got a followup checkup at the hospital. They said "stopped growing, no more painful, tests are fine, might have been some slight hormonal thing, case solved". The entire journey took like one and a half years. So I guess I got lucky that it's nothing bad. But it was odd how much the docs were blindly guessing. I still have no idea what caused that.
That doctor had her share of nerve to address you that way. They tell us to be proactive with your health and get things checked out, then they patronize you when you do. Even she was taking a second look at the lump! Absolutely no bedside manner whatsoever. And geez, how about at least cover themselves if nothing else and order a mammogram?? That being said, hope you get better, beat this, and live a long full life.
@@SamanthaL In quite a few stories I have heard, doctors didn't act as quickly as they should. I hope they start taking patients more seriously. Love to you from Virginia!
So crazy how similar our stories are.. Glad you went through and got all those biopsies. I had something similar when I had a breast lump and talk about OW!! Lol, stay strong girl, we're so brave!!
I hate when doctor’s make you feel stupid for thinking you might have something wrong 😡 and then actually turns out that you DO have something majorly wrong😡😡😡 I don’t have any trust in doctors or nurses!! I’m sorry she put you through that😢
It’s been along time since I’ve seen you are you still watching as little I love your Chris’s crazy adventures videos thank you for many memory’s (great memories) thank you
I'm watching because my daughter 22 has found a lump, seen doctor, referred to hospital seen in a week, they took a biopsy well 3, using that staple gun thing. They don't know what it is, they just know its large in size. Shes not worried but after watching your vid I am. She only came across it becuase it just started hurting and felt a lump. You remind me so much like my daughter playing with a teddie as you talk 🙂 and how you wernt digesting the worry until you saw others reactions. Im going to keep my fears to myself and let her carry on with her uni work. X hope you have made a full recovery I will search for more of your videos
Wow. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. I’m so grateful and proud of you for being so brave and sharing this video. I am shocked and disgusted at the reaction of the doctors and the fact that they seem like they didn’t even take it seriously due to your age. A random question which I appreciate you may not answer but do you/have you ever drank cows milk? I have seen studies that have shown it is linked to cancers including breast due to the hormone estrogen. I hope you are doing well and I pray that you are healing and healthy. ❤️🙏🏽💚
So I found a hard lump on the side of my breast a couple days , so I looked up breast cancer story time (I’m only 21 years old about to turn 22 in 3 months ) . Breast cancer is very common in my family as well so I just really enjoyed this video. Since we are basically the same it was funny how nonchalant you were because I react the same way to bad stuff that happens to me😅😅 it was just Comforting to see somebody my age going through something like this so it seems less lonely
@@tamialovett5785 thank god❤️ i have been trying to let my mom know i have lumps but it’s just fear. what did yours feel like ? and was it visible from the outside
@@ca-dc9wo they were hard , oval like the size of quarters or a little bigger, painful and sore, and they showed a little but not much, and you could definitely feel then through the skin
I just found a lump in my left breast. It is extremely painful. I came across your story because I was searching if it was possible for a 28 year old to get breast cancer. (My great grandma had breast cancer) WELL I GUESS ITS VERY POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOUR 22! FML! I will keep you in my prayers and I’m taking my ass to the DR. First thing Monday morning
drs make me so mad. they gave me the run around for 2 years, trying to say it was acid reflux, to tmj to i dont know. it made me so mad that i had to pay for idontknow. it also makes me mad that 2 drs with the same degree are so different. i finally went to another ent he had me diagnosed in 5 minutes. and had to do more tests to confirm. if i had that dr in the first place i would have been diagnosed before i was stage 4.
I’m terrified that I’ll have it my mom has had as well as my grandmother and great grandmother I’m so scared I go into my ob next month so I’m praying I can talk to them and ask them what to do! I have a daughter she’s almost one and I pray she doesn’t have it when she older god only knows .
Those doctors are unreal. They should have done test straight away . Antibiotics, breast feeding: idiots they are , as a nurse some doctors make me mad , their playing with people's lives xx your doing great love from Melbourne Australia xx
Thank you! I don’t blame her as much anymore since it is such a rare thing for someone my age to have breast cancer, but I do wish I could’ve gotten the ultrasound sooner
Wow. This is ridiculous! I can’t believe they treated you this way. So, I went to my primary for my the autoimmune disease and while I was there, I mentioned a small bump that I found under my armpit. My primary said, “Okay let’s order an ultrasound.” It’s been 3 weeks, and no call back.” The small bump is still there. I went to my gynecologist and she said, “You did mention you were drinking more coffee, so that’s what’s probably going on with you. Just tone it down and it should be okay.” Now, it’s been 3 weeks, and the bump is still there. Honestly I’ve given up. I found the lump under my armpit and my primary found one in my breast. Yet, nothing has been done. I’ll try and call again tomorrow.
I am so sorry that you went through this and going through it. your story made me teared a little and I want to tell you that you are very brave and thank you for sharing this personal story that will help raise awareness to others and it is going to help others emotionally because I cannot imagine how paint full it is to go through this situation physically and emotionally at such a young age. Stay strong!!!
You should of been sent for a mammo and soho that day even if you where 6 yrs old. Cancer is rare in the young but I unfortunately know a 3 yr old with ovarian cancer and also a 16 yr old girl who just passed away from colon cancer. Be a advocate for yourself always
You are really strong to share your story I really admire that. It kinda got me scared watching the video though because I never thought until recently that breast cancer would occur at a young age. I felt like a lump in my breast recently and I was just going to ignore it cause I'm just 21 but I am going to get checked to see if everything is okay now. This really helped!
I’m going through this right now. I have been sent to ultrasound and my primary doctor already told me after the ultrasound she was going to send me to a breast clinic.
I dont feel bad now , I was not an emotional mess at all and my family probably thought it was horrible because I told them, "SURPRISE ITS CANCER " apparently thats not funny to anyone but me. When they told me at the end of July I was just thinking I would power through this and its going to take awhile but I will through it. 2020 already sucks anyway lol. It wasnt until everyone else started responding.
I am praying for you...I have to get a ultrasound guided breast biopsy done this Wednesday coming up. I'm scared.... hopefully it comes back Benign but if not I'm preparing myself for the worse. That is chemotherapy and surgery and losing my little itty bitties and hair, brows and lashes. Thank God for Wigs and Breast inserts for the Bra. If I Lose my hair it's just Temporary.
I have a bunch of cysts in the bottom of my right breast right now I’ve had a lot of things happen in this one week your story is similar to mine I have a lump on my areola that’s been uncomfortable my breast has been hot to the touch and I’ve been getting an eczema looking rash now forming on my breast I was put on antibiotics being told I have a form of mastitis but I’m not breastfeeding and being told this can happen without doing so, I feel like I’m getting sicker my shoulder/neck has been hurting really bad also now and just not feeling good I’ve got another appointment tomorrow and hoping it’s nothing serious but after a week On antibiotics nothing has changed
I hate how dismissive some doctors are when it comes to cancer. Thank you for making this video, you probably saved hundreds of lives. Anyone can get cancer, young or old. It doesn’t matter if you’re low risk or high risk, cancer doesn’t discriminate. It’s time for doctors to actually put the needs of their patients first. Best case scenario is that nothing is wrong with you, worst case scenario is that you have cancer, but is curable because you advocated for your health and detected it early. ❤
I found a lump and have been blown off twice now. Im finally going in for my biopsy tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm definitely going to be vocal about my feelings!!!
Let us know!❤️
What did you find out? Prayers you’re ok.
Hope the biopsy results came back ok!
BoduaB and.....?
update?
I had a phyllodes tumor at 16! Cancer doesn't discriminate! Sending love.
I'm watching this because I have a strange feeling in my left breast and I'm trying to prepare myself in case anything goes wrong. You're so strong❤
Me too
Hope everything goes well for you

The bravery of people opening up like this is amazing to me.
I can not believe how much you were written off just because of your age.. I’m so sorry, you’re strong for sticking to your instincts! 💗
I don’t blame them too much since it is really rare, but it would’ve been nice to get an ultrasound a little faster
Samantha Lynn cancer is a incomplete/damage cells mutating/dividing. chlorella stops cell division. google what stop cell division or mutation if you want more than one option. research before taking and ask a naturopathic doctor about it. here's a article about chlorella/chorophyll:

IT'S because, young women have very dense breasts, especially those who never had a child
Many times boyfriends, husbands find lumps first.
Even my husband knew when my period was coming since he said used to feel different right before menses
Not true about dense breast tissue! You can have dense breast tissue all your life! I don’t think mammograms are enough if you have dense breast tissue. Women should be given an ultrasound, too, and insurance should cover it!
My niece had stage 4 ovarian cancer at age 28. She has been cancer free for 15 yrs now
The doctors blew her off too saying she had ibs (not cancer)

Have to say for such a serious subject in this video, you actually made me laugh. Just casually texting people and dropping that bomb and you were like “I have to get better at telling people this...” it was just the way you put it over was priceless. You made me cry too, describing in that room you were looking at the faces of your parents and boyfriend and how it was affecting them before thinking of yourself, that’s pure love right there. You are beautiful inside and out, honey.
Thank you ❤️
I have to say that I agree with this comment. I thought the same thing. I saw an innocent, beautiful soul while watching you. But I like your attitude. Stay positive and strong, as the mind is a powerful weapon. Think positive, continue to seek for medical suggestions and educate yourself a little more on the subject. You’re incredible; such a positive attitude. You’re absolutely on the right path, but take this serious and take care as soon as yesterday. Don’t allow your emotions affect your recovery and the search for a better tomorrow. Loved loved your attitude. It will make everything easier for you and your treatments. Also, thinking n worrying about your love ones, ahead of you and their feelings, says a lot about you , your heart and personality. Your God’s angel. Stay sweet n share updates. Huggies from Florida . Prayers. God bless . 🙏❤️
@@chiquitabee1 get hi
I decided to go back through your videos to see how this all started. I’m so sorry that you have had such a rough journey with medical professionals. It shouldn’t be this way.
I know firsthand how annoying it is to have them brush you off because you're young. I was 19 when I got diagnosed very late with Stage IV neuroendocrine cancer, partially due to not listening to my own body, and partially at the fault of the doctors. 24 now, still fighting it today. You've got such spirit in you and I commend you for posting these videos and sharing your story. I'm so happy you have such a great guy by your side as well. We will tough through this, Samantha. So glad I found your channel
Thank you so much! Hope you are doing well
You are amazing and so strong. God bless you hun
Sonya how are you doing? Please let us know. Stay strong❤❤❤❤
Yea she's a funny person
Hiiiii, how are youuuu??
I asked for a year to get some medical professional to look at an odd growth on my leg. Finally, one PA said, well if you're word about it, you can go to a dermatologist. A month or so later they diagnosed stage 2c melanoma. Lesson is we know our bodies and simply must advocate for ourselves.
You are so strong and beautiful. I found out i had breast cancer at 30 on 2/22/19. Worst day of my life. Got a double mastectomy and just had my second surgery for my reconstruction. I don’t know if I could handle a diagnosis at 22. You are so unbelievably courageous. God bless you and here’s to good health for all of us in the future. Cancer free! 🥂
Thank you! You were diagnosed not too long before me. Hope you are recovering well from surgery :)
Samantha Lynn thank you! 💗
May I ask what made you get it checked? I feel a tenderness near my right breast on one spot that doesnt go away. I cant explain it is just there.
brenda diaz I was doing a self breast examination and found my lump.
You’re so strong, we kinda have the same story, they just diagnosed me with breast cancer, I’m still in shock, and I want everyone to make sure they are getting their mammograms and doing self checks as well, I’m only 28, but with GOD we can and will get through this
Definitely! Thanks for the comment and hope your treatment goes smoothly
@@SamanthaL I’m really trying to decide which is the best options, it’s like I have no one to talk to who have been in this situation, waiting to see an oncologist to get the process started,
I’m 24 and I was just diagnosed with Stage II Breast Cancer. It’s in my lymph nodes, but not anywhere else.
I feel the same way!! Like yep. This is it. Let do this. I’m just keeping on, keeping on. 🥰 4 more rounds on chemo, our treatment is the same. I already have two daughters and was done having kids, so I’m thankful that everything happened out the way that it did.
You’re totally a badass. I love it. I hope you’re doing well! ❤️🙏
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but you sound so strong, so I know you'll get through it. Good luck to you on your cancer journey :)
Since it was only in your lynph nodes did you still have a bump in your breasts?
Hey Smantha. Really Sorry about your diagnosis. May i know, the armpit feels pain?
It’s so heartbreaking that they wrote you off because your age! Kudos to you for speaking up for yourself and listening to your body.
I’m just glad everything worked out in the end
Thanks for sharing,am 26 and I noticed a lump in my right breast in April.i went for a check up and the doc said at my age it's a fibroadenoma.over all that time I noticed it was really growing.i changed the hospital,did a biopsy only for the positive results to come out.starting my chemotherapy tomorrow 🙏
@@julietbiketi826 Prayers to you Juliet! You’ll pull through this!! So happy you went for a second opinion.
I first noticed a lump in my left breast 2 years ago and did nothing about it (I know terrible) but I’m finally going to see a doctor about it. I hope it’s nothing serious but watching this has let me know not to let the doctors dismiss me bc I’m young
Update: it was just a fibroadenoma! My doctors were incredible and got me in for a biopsy and didn’t dismiss me at all
Hope everything goes well
Good luck!
Hope for update
@@llexcusesll7933 update it was just a fibroadenoma!
Good to hear that it was nothing!.If u don't mind me asking, where is your lump located on your breast and how does it feels like? I found a lump and it's almost two years already same like you and didn't get it checked thoroughly. I did get it checked with a doctor before but she only did physical examination with me and she said it could be fibroadenoma as she said movable but i didn't get tested further. My lump is located on my lower right breast and it feels like it does move only like side to side but im not sure. I'm now living in fear as i never get to the end of it.
22?? That’s really young. I’m 36 and adopted. I know nothing about my bio family and may start getting tested soon. Your a very strong woman. Your spunk and upbeat attitude says it all.
Thank you :)
I always advocate this to other women that cancer doesn't discriminate and that you are your body's best advocate. If it doesn't feel right get a second opinion. I was diagnosed with breast cancer myself at the age of 28. Had chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation and now hormone therapy. I'm turn ijng 34 this year and doing well. Now after 5.5 years I'm starting my egg freezing fertility. It's a roller coaster emotional journey but you've got this and will survive :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! Good luck with your egg freezing. I hope it goes well for you
I’m almost 21 and noticed a lump in my breast like a week ago😳 I’m hoping it’s nothing but breast cancer runs in my family so I’m just a tiny bit worried.. thanks for sharing your story!
Hoping it ends up being nothing! Thanks for watching
update ?
How are you ?
Update
i have a lump and my doctor made me feel like i have nothing and I'm not old enough but I've had it for months and i think about it every day and have anxiety about it all the time.
Same here :(
Sameee
Same 🥺
Same here. My last check up on it was August last year but im really scared my doctor is wrong but he assured me im not and said an ultrasound is not needed cus it will confirm its nothing. On my first check up in 2019 he said i have fibercystic breast condition so idk 😣 im just 24
Me too I literally freak myself out so bad.. both of them feel lumpy and so do my armpits ???? I’m 15
I am so sorry that the first doctor didn’t take you seriously. I’m 22 and just saw a doc for a lump who luckily instantly took it seriously, but was still calm and assured me to not worry for the worst, and I have an ultrasound scheduled to check it out. No matter what your age, you know your body better than anyone else. Advocate for yourself!
That’s awesome! I trusted them too much and also never believed it was anything to worry about so in a way you could say I also didn’t take it seriously enough. But you live and learn…. I hope your ultrasound goes well and everything comes back ok!
The medical field FAILED you! Shame on them. Prayers for you. 🙏🏼
Thank you!
Failed? She was properly diagnosed. It’s rare for someone her age to have breast cancer. If every woman who went to their doctor to complain of a breast lump got a biopsy it would use way too many medical resources and put people through procedure they don’t need. Her original doctor, while she could’ve worded things better, did the right thing. Try to reduce inflammation, treat with antibiotic and go from there. It’s terrible she is having to go through this but the idea that the “medical field” failed her is a gross over exaggeration.
Cameron Z Good Lord! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@cameronh1530 Everything worked out, so I don't blame that doctor much anymore. It is super rare and she would have no reason to think I had cancer that young. I do wish she sent me for the ultrasound earlier though. Breast cancer is rare in your twenties, but a lot of woman who do end up getting it then, have a very aggressive type. If my cancer was more aggressive, waiting weeks to get tested would have not ended up well. Thankfully, that was not the case for me, but it could have been, and getting an ultrasound just in case wouldn't have hurt anything
@@cameronh1530 - this idiotic attitude ''give antibiotics'' is what has caused multi-drug resistance! At 29, I found a l.i.b which was removed 3 days later and proved to be a fibroadenoma. End of story, so simple!
I fought cancer this time last year. HR positive her2 negative cancer. I was 25 when I was diagnosed. I had the lump from the time I was about 21/22. You will get through this!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks! You must have been diagnosed close to when I was! Hope you are doing well
Yes Feb 15, 2019 to be exact!!
What happens after you beat it? Do your breasts stay the same? Or do they remove one of your breasts?
Sorry to ask but how did your lump felt? And where was it located?
update ?
i’ve been dealing w really bad breasts for 10 months (i just turned 18) including discharge, lumps, etc etc etc etc.. and my mammogram test is tomorrow. i’m so nervous..
I wish you the best of luck!
Hope your test went well and that the results come back clear!
hi! did ur results come in?
Roxana torres hey how did the test go .Hope you doing great .xxx
Roxana torres all the best hun .I am having sharp pains on my left breast and some sort of lump that’s is why I was going through all the videos and comments.All the best on your diagnosis and hope you feel better soon ..❤️
14:10 my friend called me 30 minutes ago and told me she was upset I forgot to tell her my doctors are investigating my lump for cancer and found 2 others. So when she called me back 30 minutes ago she tried to tell me she was a little p!ssed at me and she was worried but I'm ok with whatever diagnosis they give me. She hurried if the phone and she sounded like she was crying, but I need to be ok with whatever happens... I dont mean to sound cavalier. I cant allow every waking moment to be surrounded by the lump on my breast. And even if I'm diagnosed I will try my hardest to not let death consume my life. I love your personality and thank you for sharing your story because I dont want to be annoyed with my friend. Maybe she is really hurt, but I'm not ready to be hurt, I just want to take it one step at a time. I had my doctors move my next imaging moved earlier.
thanks for watching. I hope everything goes well with you
Almost 3 years out from my diagnosis..... hugs to you. I still don't feel like I have "recovered" from my treatments in '17 and '18. Not letting them treat me again, but then I'm 60, not 23. All my best and I am now "catching up" on your story.
Thank you! Hope you are doing well
So the chemo/radiation did not help you?
@@monicag6715 they helped. But I continued to have fatigue and to generally feel unwell. I was rediagnosed metastatic in 2021.
Good morning! I’m 24 I found it I had breast cancer last year at 23 I’ve been wanting to make a vlog on my journey everyone keep telling me as well but I’m camera shy and horrible at speaking as well but you definitely just encouraged me to get up and do it!
Go for it!! Hope you’re doing well
Thank goodness you got it early because I heard the longer you wait it gets worse where you can't treat it
I'm very thankful I caught it when I did, but I wasn't doing checks as often as I should've been, so it could've been caught way earlier. That's why I want everyone to know how important it is to pay attention to changes in your body because even though it is extremely rare, young people can still get breast cancer
I found your last video and had to start at the beginning. God bless you. I am a 6 year Breast Cancer Survivor but my experience was so much different from yours (which by the way those dismissive doctors are horrible) God bless you my Pink Sister🙏🎗
YOUR SO BRAVE. I'm 23 and searching this bc I'm scared I have skin cancer. God bless you baby. Your beautiful and funny. Keep fighting. Your going to win.
Thank you. I hope you are doing well ❤️
@@SamanthaL I'm OK love how are YOU baby
@@SamanthaL I'm praying for you
You told this story so well. So straightforward. It's the way I would feel and speak it. Wow. What amazing bad luck that you had this, at this age! It seems like more young people are getting cancer, or is it my imagination? I feel amazed I got to MY age, and I still haven't had any serious cancer, even tho I smoked heavy for years, (I loved smoking...) before quitting. Still. No cancer. I am so sorry you got this! Good luck. Stay strong. I will subscribe as I want to know how things go for you. God bless you!xxxxx
Thank you so much! It is unfortunate to have cancer so young, but there are so many amazing things I have learned from this experience so far that I am very thankful for :)
Your story is crazy I agree with the previous comment, the medical field failed you. They do this so often with young patients, just because its rare doesn't mean it can't happen. I'm 27, and years ago I started developing breast pain in my right breast along with some lumps, I told my doctor, who said the same thing to me! "Oh you're too young its probably fibrocystic tissue or cysts, you'll just freak yourself out" I eventually got a ultrasound at 25 they found two cysts and said I was too young and had no family hx of breast cancer and the radiologist actually laughed at me. Then a few months after that, my mother found out she had invasive ductal carcinoma. its been a year since my mother had cancer, I still have pain that's worsening and the lumps are getting bigger. I have a new doc who I just saw last week, she's ordered me a mammogram and another ultrasound. Im hoping its nothing but now Im scared because I've waited so long, and no one before took me seriously.
Wow sounds like a lot of rude doctors. Hope it ends up being nothing ❤️
we have the exact same story except i’m 18, but my mammogram is tmrw
@@rinibabe582 hi adah i hope you are doing well now
How did it go E M? Hope it turns out to be nothing. I had similar cases to yours. Found a lump and get i checked and dr said could be fibroadenoma. So i didn't think too much of it. But like a year later we found out my mom has breast cancer and she's now in treatment. This has made me worry ever since! Want to get it checked again but im just not that strong now. I feel like i don't want to add another worry to my family but couldn't help feeling scared everyday.
@@rinibabe582 update ?
I can’t believe this happened to you! They failed you and it’s very upsetting! I am a cancer patient as well and it took them over a year to find the cancer and that was only because I kept going back to the doctor due to the symptoms. They kept telling me nothing was wrong with me initially but I know me and I knew I was sick.
I was 33 years old with Stage 3 colon cancer.
wow. whst were you feeling?
Never too young to develop cancer and I really wish doctor's would take it seriously. We just lost a friend to a rare form of breast cancer ( spindle cell carcinoma ) she was early forties. Bless everyone who is suffering from this horrible disease.
I think, something is different with these young people
Boomers and gen x, didnt seem to get this..under 25 especially.
Is it diet? Sunscreen? People not soaking up vitamin D3 from sun?
Not enough sleep?
@@kathleenking47 I definitely agree and wonder if diets heavy in meat especially red is a contributing factor, also environmental with all the toxins and pollutants we are exposed too . Who knows .
@@BR9900-w5l it may not be red meat per se, but extra fast foods?
We've been doing fast food since early 80s with drive thrus?
@@kathleenking47 I think you may be right. When we grew up the food was different and there were not that many fast food choices available. Most people ate at home and eating out was a treat. Today, what we call food, even if bought in grocery stores, has many more additives that we never heard of in the 60s.
Hey girl keep fighting, God the Saviour can cure all miracles! May He keep you safe and grant you happiness, amen!
Here I am watching it because I'm 37 and I feel that my breast started to get numb while im laying on my right side. Stay strong Samantha!

But only for breast
Listening to this I am so glad I live in South Africa on medical aid. I have had 2 open heart surgeries, numerous ICU visits on life support - fantastic care!! Go St Georges Hospital!!!
Thank you for sharing your story my daughter had the same thing happen to her primary did nothing now has stage 2 breast cancer luckily went to gynecologist because of her age 30 years old😢
I’d love to hear how you told the first doctor you have cancer! Maybe then she won’t be so careless and brush off younger people.
I haven’t spoken to her since haha, but my oncologist sent all my info to my primary care doctor
you're so strong and positive and this is encouraging 💕💕
"alright well I don't have a baby so this isn't going to work" 😂😂
lol it’s true though
You are so beautiful and strong! I pray for well being. Healing energy to you!

When is the medical world going to stop ghosting young women !!!
I have been diagonised with breast cancer at 26. I also dont really know how to react .Wishing you a quick recovery.
It takes a while to comprehend but you will. Good luck!
Did you felt pain that doesn't go away?
Sorry to ask. How did you discover it?
I pray 🙏and I wish 2everyone had cancer get in better soon insha Allah. ♥️
I’m 24 and found a lump in my right breast 2 months ago. Grateful my doctor ordered a mammogram. I’m currently waiting to schedule an appointment so I’m really anxious. Really hoping it isn’t anything serious. It’s also scary since breast cancer has affected 2 women in my family.
Hoping for good results for you!
I've been watching your other channel for as long as I could remember. I hope you get better soon. You will be in my prayers.
Thanks Josh and family
your amazing during my whole treatment i cried, slept and watched youtube, hid under the blankets, chemo affected my cognitive ability so bad i couldn't even figure out how to get my cloths on let alone drive . its funny now, but back then it was awful. i now know how Alzheimer patients feel. i would have never made it to hydration and treatments with out my mom and sister, i couldn't even keep my meds straight. did you experience any cognitive problems on chemo? it was awful looking at my cloths and understanding they go on my body but not understanding how to get them on my body. i remeber not being able to regulate the shower temp id either be burning myself or freezing myself, i think there were times i got in the shower and never washed with soap.... and after my first round of chemo i forgot how to walk down stairs and my son and mom had to teach me to do that...it was crazy. i literally felt like my top half was disconected from my bottem half and i was just two pieces with the top half just floating over the bottom half.
I'm so sorry, that sounds so miserable! I sometimes had to concentrate really hard to be able to walk around, so I understand a little of what you're saying, but I never got that bad
@@SamanthaL it was miserable then but now its kinda funny to remember.
Hello am in my 3rd year with my cancer and my life has changed so much at the moment i am cancer free but all the treatment has left me so weak i have good days and bad i had my radiotherapy and chemotherapy i 2018 .i spend my time on youtube but i have only just started subscribeing to other people who have cancer. I use to work 12 hour shifts looking after the elderly i worked at the same home for 16 years and on my days of work i use to look after my grand . kids. At the moment i am feeling so lonely some days i can not walk i am 48 years old and feel far to young not to be working.

I’m watching this video absolutely terrified right now. I found a very large lump in my left breast heading towards my armpit. I’m going with my husband next Tuesday to get it looked at. I’m 36 years old, Have a family history of breast and cervical cancer. I have two sons and been married for 15 years. I’m so scared right now Praying my family and I can be strong throughout whatever God has in store for us 🌺
Hoping for good results for you. Stay strong and keep me updated if you can :)
Samantha Lynn Hey thank you so much for taking time to respond to me 🌺. I subscribed to your channel today as I was searching for hope and insight into what may possibly be happening with my breast and if it is the big “C” hope and inspiration for that journey.... I just think you’re a awesome , strong, and inspirational young lady 💕. I will come back here next week and tell you what happens at the Drs... Weird besides my husband your the only other person I’ve talked to about this so far. I don’t want to scare my family and this video let me know that if that time comes I better have a good way of telling them 😉. Thank you for the video it gave me honest answers about what I could possibly expect as far as the biopsy, ultrasounds, etc....
I hope everything goes okay for you 🧡
Abigail Russo gosh thank you so much. ❤️. I’ve had a horrible day so far.... My anxiety has gotten the best of me and I’ve thrown up three times today Ugh 😫 Just trying to rest but keep my mind busy at the same time till Tuesday morning. 🌺

Thank you
You are in my prayers. You will make it through♥️
Thank you
I am 26, at 22 years old I complained for a while to my family doctor, she said I was too young to be worried about such things.
This month I had enough of having this weird irregular bumps on my breast and not knowing what it is. My new doctor scheduled me a mammogram for the next month. I am so stressed already, this things are scary.
Hope everything is okay, but I can't stop thinking about if I have something....and if I had pressure my doctor more for some exams...
Hope it all ends up ok!!
update ?
For modern medicine
I believe, it still is RARE for women under 40 to get these
Could it be, people not sleeping?
Because of social media?
Diet? Not enough sun?..because of sunscreen? etc
Thank you for sharing your story. Its very educational and "real"....unfortunately your experience is more common than you think. However, sharing this story will empower other young women to never give up and and demand to be taken seriously, no matter what your age..I wish you the very best and will subscribe an follow you as you go thru this journey. Peace and love to you.
Thank you. I hope it will help people :)
Gonna have a breast lump examined soon. Im 23. Wish me luck i guess(: also its really sad they didnt take you serious first.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes
Good luck doll!!! Hope everything goes okay 🧡
Good luck Liv !! God Bless! 💚☘️
Thanks everyone, had the appointment yesterday and the doctor will make another one for me to go back to get an ultrasound done.
LiV I have the same thing in my left! It flares up closer to my period and swells around that time too. It’s fibrous tissue but I swear it’s from always putting my phone in my left bra when I was in middle and high school. Goodluck!
Wish your mom had been with you on your first apt. Doctors want to put you on antibiotics every time. What happen to blood work then biopsy right away? Sorry you are experiencing this. Your young so that’s a plus. Stay strong and have a Merry Christmas. Your a sweetheart💕🙏🥑🎁🎄🦋
Merry Christmas to you too!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️u praying you are pain free.
Thank you for sharing! I just turned 21 today and my doc just scheduled me for an ultrasound.
Hoping for good results!
No doctor should ever tell anyone that they are too young to have cancer.
I am really annoyed by the lack of competence by the primary and radiologists and the idea that she questioned you about being what a hypochondriac? I cannot think of any 22 year old that goes to the doctor just because....The first doctor could have ordered a ultrasound or a mammogram to just check , what a cluster. Thank you for sharing so the rest of us keep pushing past arrogance and ignorance.
I do think the first doctor should’ve ordered the ultrasound earlier
Thanks for watching!
God bless and i pray healing comes to you. You are beautiful and your smile is just stunning. Loved the video
As a guy I at some point started feeling pain in my left breast when my GF hugged me.
My doctor: "probably inflammation, take ibuprofen". Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the gynecologist.
Gynecologist: "ultrasound seems ok, probably bacterial, take antibiotics for a week" Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the hospital.
Hospital: did another ultrasound and photos, checked the blood, said the breast is enlarged but otherwise things look normal. I should apply cold wraps and come back a couple weeks later. Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the proctologist.
Proctologist: took blood samples in two week intervals and checked the hormones, said the hormone levels are normal. But he could always take out the glands in the breast that men also have in there, because "glands are always a source of trouble". I rejected that suggestion so got sent back to the hospital.
Hospital: took more photos and a tissue sample, said tissue seems fine. I should just wait and come back if it gets worse.
Over the next couple months the breast got over time less painful (but stayed slightly bigger then the other). Got a followup checkup at the hospital. They said "stopped growing, no more painful, tests are fine, might have been some slight hormonal thing, case solved".
The entire journey took like one and a half years. So I guess I got lucky that it's nothing bad. But it was odd how much the docs were blindly guessing. I still have no idea what caused that.
That doctor had her share of nerve to address you that way. They tell us to be proactive with your health and get things checked out, then they patronize you when you do. Even she was taking a second look at the lump! Absolutely no bedside manner whatsoever. And geez, how about at least cover themselves if nothing else and order a mammogram?? That being said, hope you get better, beat this, and live a long full life.
I don’t blame her too much anymore, but I do wish they ordered the ultrasound earlier 😕
@@SamanthaL In quite a few stories I have heard, doctors didn't act as quickly as they should. I hope they start taking patients more seriously. Love to you from Virginia!
So crazy how similar our stories are.. Glad you went through and got all those biopsies. I had something similar when I had a breast lump and talk about OW!! Lol, stay strong girl, we're so brave!!
Thank you, and right back at ya!
I'll be having breast ultrasound on Saturday because i have a lump in my left breast. huhu pray for me
How are u
I hate when doctor’s make you feel stupid for thinking you might have something wrong 😡 and then actually turns out that you DO have something majorly wrong😡😡😡 I don’t have any trust in doctors or nurses!! I’m sorry she put you through that😢
Wow what a bunch of insensitive incompetents some doctors can be sometimes!
It’s been along time since I’ve seen you are you still watching as little I love your Chris’s crazy adventures videos thank you for many memory’s (great memories) thank you
aw thanks so much for watching
I'm watching because my daughter 22 has found a lump, seen doctor, referred to hospital seen in a week, they took a biopsy well 3, using that staple gun thing. They don't know what it is, they just know its large in size. Shes not worried but after watching your vid I am. She only came across it becuase it just started hurting and felt a lump.
You remind me so much like my daughter playing with a teddie as you talk 🙂 and how you wernt digesting the worry until you saw others reactions. Im going to keep my fears to myself and let her carry on with her uni work. X hope you have made a full recovery I will search for more of your videos
Thanks for watching! I hope your daughter’s biopsy comes back negative, but let me know if you have any other questions :)
@@SamanthaL thanks x
Was your lump attached or would it move, they said hers moved?
@@lizcliff8134 the first person who looked at it said it moved but I’m not so sure it moved very much. I think that’s supposed to be a good sign
Wow. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. I’m so grateful and proud of you for being so brave and sharing this video. I am shocked and disgusted at the reaction of the doctors and the fact that they seem like they didn’t even take it seriously due to your age. A random question which I appreciate you may not answer but do you/have you ever drank cows milk? I have seen studies that have shown it is linked to cancers including breast due to the hormone estrogen. I hope you are doing well and I pray that you are healing and healthy. ❤️🙏🏽💚
Thank you!
So I found a hard lump on the side of my breast a couple days , so I looked up breast cancer story time (I’m only 21 years old about to turn 22 in 3 months ) . Breast cancer is very common in my family as well so I just really enjoyed this video. Since we are basically the same it was funny how nonchalant you were because I react the same way to bad stuff that happens to me😅😅 it was just Comforting to see somebody my age going through something like this so it seems less lonely
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed. I hope your lump ends up being benign ❤️
update?🥺❤️
@@ca-dc9wo I fine now , found out it wasn’t cancer
@@tamialovett5785 thank god❤️ i have been trying to let my mom know i have lumps but it’s just fear. what did yours feel like ? and was it visible from the outside
@@ca-dc9wo they were hard , oval like the size of quarters or a little bigger, painful and sore, and they showed a little but not much, and you could definitely feel then through the skin
I just found a lump in my left breast. It is extremely painful. I came across your story because I was searching if it was possible for a 28 year old to get breast cancer. (My great grandma had breast cancer) WELL I GUESS ITS VERY POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOUR 22! FML! I will keep you in my prayers and I’m taking my ass to the DR. First thing Monday morning
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your breast lump. I hope everything ended up ok for you at the doctor
Hey hope you are great .How did it go ? I am having some funny pain on my left breast too that’s why am on this video

What a coincidence haha! Thank you :)
You are so courageous. I admire you. God be w you.😘❤️
thank you
drs make me so mad. they gave me the run around for 2 years, trying to say it was acid reflux, to tmj to i dont know. it made me so mad that i had to pay for idontknow. it also makes me mad that 2 drs with the same degree are so different. i finally went to another ent he had me diagnosed in 5 minutes. and had to do more tests to confirm. if i had that dr in the first place i would have been diagnosed before i was stage 4.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Glad you went for a second opinion
@@SamanthaL me too. im glad you found good drs too
Girl power! You strong, girl. I'm 36, today's my bday. I have supposedly fibrocystic disease. Waiting to have the mamogram and sonogram to check.
Happy Birthday! Hope you get good results 💕
@@SamanthaL aww, thanks 😊
update?
Watching old videos. Thinking of you. I hope you are doing well ❤
Nice to meet you,my friend
Good Luck on your journey
I cried at the exact same time. It was traumatic.
I’m terrified that I’ll have it my mom has had as well as my grandmother and great grandmother I’m so scared I go into my ob next month so I’m praying I can talk to them and ask them what to do! I have a daughter she’s almost one and I pray she doesn’t have it when she older god only knows .
Those doctors are unreal. They should have done test straight away . Antibiotics, breast feeding: idiots they are , as a nurse some doctors make me mad , their playing with people's lives xx your doing great love from Melbourne Australia xx
Thank you! I don’t blame her as much anymore since it is such a rare thing for someone my age to have breast cancer, but I do wish I could’ve gotten the ultrasound sooner
That sounds very scary i hope and pray that you'll recieve good news i also had the needle stuck in me and it hurts
I am still on some medication now, but things are looking good and I'm doing well :)
Thats good news very happy to hear your doing well would love to recieve updates if you dont mind. And as always youll be in my prayers
Wow. This is ridiculous! I can’t believe they treated you this way.
So, I went to my primary for my the autoimmune disease and while I was there, I mentioned a small bump that I found under my armpit. My primary said, “Okay let’s order an ultrasound.” It’s been 3 weeks, and no call back.”
The small bump is still there. I went to my gynecologist and she said, “You did mention you were drinking more coffee, so that’s what’s probably going on with you. Just tone it down and it should be okay.” Now, it’s been 3 weeks, and the bump is still there.
Honestly I’ve given up. I found the lump under my armpit and my primary found one in my breast. Yet, nothing has been done.
I’ll try and call again tomorrow.
Don’t give up. Good luck to you ❤️
@@SamanthaL update ?
Thank you for sharing your story.
You’re such brave beautiful girl. I hope you doing well now. What stage was your diagnosis and has it spread to your lymph nodes?
Best of luck 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! I am NED now. I was diagnosed at stage 4 and it had spread to lymph nodes and a rib
I am so sorry that you went through this and going through it. your story made me teared a little and I want to tell you that you are very brave and thank you for sharing this personal story that will help raise awareness to others and it is going to help others emotionally because I cannot imagine how paint full it is to go through this situation physically and emotionally at such a young age. Stay strong!!!
Thank you, I will!!
I would definitely wanna see a video on your egg freezing
Awesome! Thanks for your suggestion
You should of been sent for a mammo and soho that day even if you where 6 yrs old. Cancer is rare in the young but I unfortunately know a 3 yr old with ovarian cancer and also a 16 yr old girl who just passed away from colon cancer. Be a advocate for yourself always
I think so too. Fortunately it didn't take too long to get the right tests done :)
You are strong person, Keep fighting and thank you for the video.
Thanks. Glad you liked it :)
You are really strong to share your story I really admire that. It kinda got me scared watching the video though because I never thought until recently that breast cancer would occur at a young age. I felt like a lump in my breast recently and I was just going to ignore it cause I'm just 21 but I am going to get checked to see if everything is okay now. This really helped!
Thank you! Hope the lump ends up not being anything bad
update ?
I’m going through this right now. I have been sent to ultrasound and my primary doctor already told me after the ultrasound she was going to send me to a breast clinic.
Hope everything goes well ❤️
hey how’s it going ? i’m 17 and been feelin these for a while just to scared to tell my mom and take action. update?
@@ca-dc9wo def go get checked. You know your body if you feel that somthing isn’t right def go get checked out. 💜
What a beautiful soul.. ❤❤
I dont feel bad now , I was not an emotional mess at all and my family probably thought it was horrible because I told them, "SURPRISE ITS CANCER " apparently thats not funny to anyone but me. When they told me at the end of July I was just thinking I would power through this and its going to take awhile but I will through it. 2020 already sucks anyway lol. It wasnt until everyone else started responding.
Lol sounds funny to me but I get it. 2020 does suck. Hope you are doing well and continuing to power through ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you the best.
Thanks
I am praying for you...I have to get a ultrasound guided breast biopsy done this Wednesday coming up. I'm scared.... hopefully it comes back Benign but if not I'm preparing myself for the worse. That is chemotherapy and surgery and losing my little itty bitties and hair, brows and lashes. Thank God for Wigs and Breast inserts for the Bra. If I Lose my hair it's just Temporary.
update ? hoping your doing well❤️
I have a bunch of cysts in the bottom of my right breast right now I’ve had a lot of things happen in this one week your story is similar to mine I have a lump on my areola that’s been uncomfortable my breast has been hot to the touch and I’ve been getting an eczema looking rash now forming on my breast I was put on antibiotics being told I have a form of mastitis but I’m not breastfeeding and being told this can happen without doing so, I feel like I’m getting sicker my shoulder/neck has been hurting really bad also now and just not feeling good I’ve got another appointment tomorrow and hoping it’s nothing serious but after a week On antibiotics nothing has changed
What happened did you get any diagnosis?
