My daughter has thyroid cancer and had her operation yesterday. Don’t have much time for love island contestants but good for her bringing this to everyone’s attention. I wish her a speedy recovery ❤️❤️
I lost my friend and first girlfriend to cancer nearly five years ago. She had a fall and injured her leg which put her out of sixth form for quite a while and she was on crutches each time she could come in. Unfortunately, it emerged after a while that there was cancer in her leg that had spread to the point where it couldn’t be treated and we lost her just four months after she first got the injury so I echo Demi’s message. Act as fast as you can if something in your body is abnormal even if the professionals aren’t able to.
So sorry for your loss. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer last October after her appointments were continuously pushed back and by the time the results came back weeks later, she was too sick for chemo, it quickly reached stage 4 and we lost her 7 weeks after her diagnosis in December last year :(
@@ameliaascroft5453 Sorry for YOUR loss 😔🙏🏻. Hope you and your family are coping. This is yet more proof that cancer treatment needs just as much focus as it did before the pandemic. It’s just a terrible shame our NHS couldn’t save people like your Mum first.

I had my thyroid gland removed due to cancer, at age 29, 50 years ago. Thankfully it is a slow growing tumour and responds well to treatment. I too had to wait and push to get attention. Best wishes to Demi.
@@danl5961 Yes, I had one child before the surgery and two after. They did blood tests on the two babies who came after, for a year, to be sure they were okay. All was good. Best wishes to you...all will go well.
@@seemajhanb5671 I don't follow a "special" diet, but I have always made it a priority to eat well. I only consume meat about three times a week. I have fish at least once a week and I eat a vegetarian meal about three times a week. I make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I don't eat processed food and I consume very little sugar. I don''t take caffeine...no coffee, no tea, no soda pop. But as I said, that is not a specific diet, just sensible eating. I also don't snack between meals or eat after I finish my dinner.
Sadly there's not much point raising awareness with the public if they can't get a GP appoitment or are fobbed off when they do. The NHS is shockingly disfunctional and inadequate and this won't change until people stop holding it up on a saintly pedestal and start admitting problems, and hold it accountable for the people it fails
Second female reality show cast member to reveal thyroid cancer within the last couple of weeks, the other just 25 years old. Hers unfortunately was removed but returned soon after and is now in the second round of treatment. Something to definitely be aware of for sure.
I’ve struggled with Hypothyroidism ever since I was a Sophomore in high school and this has been my fear every time my symptoms get worse 🥺 These doctors overlook details and it’s so frustrating
Bless you, Demi- I hope you have a speedy recovery X The day before you announced you had cancer I went to the doctors to get a lump in my neck checked- they said it was normal part of my cartilage but now hearing your story it makes me doubt if they got it right (rightly or wrongly!). You seem such a strong lady, you've got this x
I love the NHS and i’m so grateful that we have it but something needs to be done about people being turned away, and the time taken for appointments over potentially life threatening illnesses. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer in October last year after continuously trying to get tested and trying to book appointments throughout summer. Eventually when she was diagnosed she quickly became too weak for treatment and we lost her 7 weeks after her diagnosis in December last year. She had only just turned 60 :( it wasn’t her time yet, i’m the youngest of 4 and i’m 19. Miss you mummy 💕
I found a lump in my throat in 2013 I was 18 at the time, after being brushed off by ENT that it’s just due to horomones or allergies I wasn’t seen or checked upon for 2 years (this is WELL before the pandemic) I was told by my GP they didn’t need to follow up “it was just a lump” and although my quality of life had reduced, tiredness, weight gain and ALL the symptoms I was ignored “blood tests indicate I’m fine”. In 2018 I finally got seen again, had another biopsy and all tests indicated not cancer but it had slightly grown so I had it removed. It was cancer! It’s really not a new issue that thyroid issues are left years undiagnosed, not monitored or tested properly.
I've Hashimoto's Disease, autoimmune thyroiditis. The treatment for thyroid conditions in general is poor. Look on any thyroid support groups, so many people are being kept sick by poor treatment options and care.
Easy said than done to ask and book appointment with any NHS doctor or gp . My go doesn't listen to me no support or understanding. NHS should focus on prevention not to deal with sick people later
i didnt even have a lump. I was learning how to use an ultrasound and randomly put a probe on my thyroid and found it. I had no symptoms, not on any meds, no medical history.I wonder how many young girls have thyroid cancer and have no idea.
I had thyroid cancer it start right at the begining of the lockdown the lump grow and grow and my GPS told me it was a muscle spasm and it would go away I had to fight my gp to get referral to the hospital to get told they wasn't doing byopsey or operations due to the covid and don't worry about had byopsey in Feb operation march of this year to be told you did have cancer two forms but at least it wasn't an agressive form i had to wait over a year from op I tried to put complaint into the primary care trust to be told due to covid 19 they weren't taking complaints
@@clareb3960 thank you for your kind words it's been an awfull year. Iam still furious with the NHS for the complete let down and lack of care and the lies that the NHS were telling everybody that hospital were to busy cos of the covid but everytime I did manage to get an hospital appointment the docs and nurses were sat around eating crisps playing cards with no patients in the waiting areas . Iam ok now I will under care for the rest of life in case the cancer comes back but at least I no what to look out for now . Again thank you for you kind words x
Girrrl, I had mine removed at 24 in 1995. Only found it by accident following up with a GP about something else. He checked my neck and throat, and there it was. I know you're not faking it. Have been cancer-free since, but with removal of part of the thyroid, I've needed follow up bloodwork and med. In one sense, you're fortunate that you don't know it's there because you may not feel it. In another sense, it's a concern because it's sitting there growing. In my experience, having children means you'll be tired, like, forever. But, at least you caught it and may not have any problems again. Personally, I blame nuclear contamination and other pollution for the high incidence.
Hey I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid w/ graves disease a month ago, meds take a long time to work but I still have a goiter and im really tired all of the time. How would I go about asking my new endocrinologist to drain my thyroid? I'm 28, my mom and gma had cancer both more than once, young. I'm scared
@@Ambersands123 My thyroid was removed due to cancer 50 years ago. Tiredness is part of my life, but I'm thrilled to be alive. I'm not sure that your thyroid can be drained. For cancer they remove the gland. For Graves disease you need to give the pills time to work. If the meds don't help, you may need to undergo radioactive iodine therapy, which can be taken as a capsule or liquid by mouth. Usually one treatment does the job. The radioactive iodine compound used for this therapy does not have adverse effects on other tissues in your body. In rare cases, a Graves' disease patient may need to undergo more than one radioactive iodine therapy treatment to get their thyroid hormone levels down. The majority of patients who undergo radioactive iodine therapy will develop hypothyroidism later because the cells that produce thyroid hormones have been destroyed. Hypothyroidism is easier to treat than Graves' disease because it can be completely controlled with daily medication. Please don't be scared. You don't have cancer. Even if you did, thyroid cancer has an incredible high success rate for recovery. I am living proof.
If it s a lump that is growing please get it sorted , I had one for ten years which was stationary then it grew from 12 mm to 55 mm in very short time 18 months and it turned out was a malignant follicular type fortunately so far so good after thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment Btw the docs didn't do anything initially said leave it It was the fact I had a accident that it was then re accessed And sorted. Thanks to the dog that brought me off my bike 😊
I have Had Thyroid Cancer and removed 10yrs ago and Last year found a Lump in My neck and went for a Biopsy which confirmed I have a Warfarin Tumour and Lymph nodes in the bed of where My Thyroid was I was Put on the Non Urgent list for removal Last january I called them in summer to ask How Much longer would I be waiting well not this Year I then last Month received a Letter from Worthing Hospital to ask if I would be happier going to a different hospital as they have a Long wait list So Given My History I decided to Move it to the Royal London as they have My Notes on the Thyroid removal .Give My history I find this so worrying so its been one year Now Unbelievable if I had the Money I would Go Private but due to my history insurance went up so much was not affordable anymore

Three doctors per surgery if your lucky.... takes 10days of calling to catch a receptionist for an available apt!!! Every surgery is the same and it’s not fair on patients or doctors. Gov need to help GP’s they are the life blood of our communities. We need doctors that are stationed so they can know their patients. Gov need to help all surgery’s across the uk.. when your sick it’s so hard to make the effort to chase but it’s the only way. Not the GP’s fault.

This is a clear flaw in the NHS system. She shouldn’t have had to push and push. As Dr Hilary said all lumps should be examined!
She should had to push gp should ask many many questions and test before send you home
