Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul. You are right, if you are having serious pain, advocate for yourself. Don't worry about appearing rude. I am having serious pain now and need to request a CT Scan to rule out lung cancer. Your video inspired me. I will pray for you and you can pray for me.🙏

My husbands story exactly … he was a bit older, but playing tennis and doing the rowing machine .. he was surgeon and fugitive from his own healthcare needs .. it was orthopedics who kept giving him shoulder injections to no avail.. finally I said don’t come home without an MRI …he almost did but curiosity made him do it … he had a fractured shoulder blade from metastatic lung cancer .. if only it had been caught 10 weeks sooner … .. I love him dearly and missing him is a constant ache … don’t be passive follow you instincts, speak up !

It’s insane how casual they dealt with this.

[@jdbruiser]

Unfortunately many people fall into a cycle of trusting doctors who recommend waiting and fobbing the patients off with pills. People need to be proactive about their health, not wait around for 3 months to see if things improve.

[@carolemoore8505]

It's criminal, nhs failing again!!!!

[@katebuckfield7736]

Pretty similar to how l was treated

[@corriehordyk3342]

We had a 19 year old nephew who developed a lump in his neck. He was not overly concerned but finally saw the doctor anyway. Xrays done and other tests.as well. Well they just sat back and waited for the doctors to call back. This usually happens but somehow it got missed. So finally 19 year old decides to call the doctor, the lump was growing and becoming a nuisance. You got it. It was too late, they tried this and that but he died within a year.!! 19 years old!! Both wr wrong, they should have been on he blower looking for results, not just sit and wait!! The doctors office got too busy and overlooked it. But we need to take responsibility for ourselves. It is our body we know it best.Be assertive, in a nice way. Doctors have 1000 patients or more. They cannot keep track of it all. Take responsibility and follow through.

May he rest in peace. ❤ Going through this now.. My shoulder pain is excruciating, so bad that I can't sleep at night. I've developed a clavicular swelling above my left collarbone on the same side as my excruciating shoulder and arm pain that spreads down my arm to my fingers. I've developed a cough , and breathing in is excruciating. I've already just had sn endoscopy and found that I have several ulcers in my stomach with inflammation. Waiting on the biopsy results of the ulcers and my stomach. I'm definitely pushing for an MRI , etc and definitely a biopsy of my superclaviicular lymphnode at my gp appointment in a few weeks.I can't stand the pain anymore. Advocating for yourself is something you have to do.

Everyone talks about how great health care is in Europe. To me it seems like they give everyone meds and downplay the issue to push them through the system. Then when the pain doesn't go away they have to wait to get appiontments, by that time the illness has spread.

Going through this right now. Woke up one day with shoulder pain went to work and it progressively got worse. The next day I had to call out and went to the urgent care where they did some x-rays on my shoulder but couldn't find anything wrong. So i was sent to a spine specialist and they couldn't find anything so he sent me for an MRI and am waiting for the results hopefully today. But they have just thrown medications at me i am on 6 different medications and nothing has changed. I haven't slept in 2 days and haven't been able to go to work in almost a month now and still in excruciating pain.

[@bobs1356]

I had shoulder pain and in my left side and arm, went to doctor and the first thing he did was a chest xray, it was OK next xray was shoulder and arm, it was my poor posters from my job sitting at a machine for years. He gave me steroids and 2 days a week of therapy that really helped. Never had that pain again. But at least he checked that it wasn't my lung.

What type of lung cancer did he have. None small cell or the small cell type? A non smoker. Why was his condition not given priority focus. A lot of questions more than answers. May this good talented man Rest In Peace.

[@shaliahackneydodd6048]

My fiance are going through the same thing as to they should have found it earlier. He had underlying lung issues and kept getting sick but they just kept sending him home until his bones starting breaking. He had one hand that had five broken bones , the other one he had a broken arm, six broken ribs and they finally started doing test. And now he's in a fight for his life. It's so hard to have that news just dropped on you so sudden and it's so scary. Does anybody know any like support groups or anything for spouses? I feel like it's hard to talk to him sometimes because I don't want him to know how scared I am and I feel like if I'm scared then I'm not being strong for him.

Wait a minute ! Nick had a CT-Scan and the radiologist did not pick up on the.lung cancer ? Nick should have gone to the ER when the shoulder pain got so bad he was in tears . No one is too young or because they didn't smoke to have lung cancer . If you have lungs , you can have have lung cancer . It's a shame that Nick was not taken serious earlier . Physicians are supposed to suspect the worse until proven otherwise, when patients come to them with acute symptoms that are new and unlike what the patient has experienced before . They should write the patient off with something minor or with a psychological problem. Simply unbelievable.
