My aunt was told she had a breast tumor and needed to a radical mastectomy. She was 70 at the time. She got a second opinion and a biopsy. The tumor turned out to be a non cancerous cyst. A dermatologist took care of it in the office under local anesthesia. She died last year at age 98.

Thank you for sharing.

[@grannygoes7882]

Yep, same thing happened to me in my 50's. My doctor didn't even tell me about the results of my mamogram, just scheduled a biopsy with a surgeon. The surgeon's office called me saying I needed a biopsy ASAP. Scared the crap out of me. I went to a larger town where they had centers that only did imaging studies and got a second opinion. They looked at my scans and said, "are you a coffee drinker?" I said year, since I was 16. They told me caffiene makes the breast tissue thicker and gives off false readings. I never went back to the doctor that started this nightmare even though he hounded me to get the biopsy. That was 20 years ago.

[@tytemind7850]

Exactly

[@katie7748]

I had the opposite. 4 doctors, plus countless nurses and radiologists, told me I was fine. Just an infection of some sort. To be fair, that's what I thought too but wanted to know for sure what it was so we could hopefully make it go away. Antibiotics or something. Anything to alleviate the symptoms. We did a bunch of imaging (2 ultrasounds and a 3D mammogram) and ran tests but found nothing. I insisted on more imaging (MRI) and demanded a biopsy (wound up being 2). Guess who had cancer all over and had a double mastectomy? Yep. Me. Got a second opinion afterwards to confirm. The part that miffed me the most about the diagnosis was one of the doctors who told me I was fine was only 33 when she had BC, yet told me I was too young and had no family history so it couldn't be that. I was 29.

As a person who had a cancerous growth on his thyroid, and having known full well it may not have ever caused me any issues during my lifetime, I still chose to get it cut out. No way would I have been able to live a happy life knowing I had that inside of me. Luckily that was the only treatment I needed and no mishaps took place during the surgery. I think it's certainly better to act, so long as the pros outweigh the cons. A year later, my thyroid levels are fine because I am young and the remaining part of my thyroid was able to pick up the slack of the missing half, but I know others aren't so lucky. Also, just to put it out there, I do not ever say "I had cancer". I only ever say "I had cancerous tissue/etc" because I am a firm believer that there is a big difference between those two things, which is what I believe this video was trying to convey to you all. My "cancerous growth" was actually completely encapsulated by scar tissue that my body had naturally made as a barrier to protect the rest of my thyroid. It is quite miraculous how capable the human body is. *knock on wood* of course :)

Quite right. If you get the 'easy thyroid cancer' that's usually a one off treatment. You sound like you got double lucky.

@@townc2824 10:05 There are three types of cancer : agressive, normal and slow-growth. Agressive and normal cancers cause symptoms which lead to an earlier death. Screening helps with THESE. However, slow-growth cancers do not cause symptoms and people with these died from natural causes just like those without any active cancer. The cancer is only detected in post mortem. Detection of these cancers are called over-screening. So, any treatment (and horrible side effects from complications) of slow growth cancers are actually redundant, it causes unnecessary suffering.

Brea#t cancer is a heterogenous group of cancers that occur in the breast, and each have their specific biological behaviour that differ in degree of indolence or agressiveness. “ Breast cancer” is not one disease. So some people can live for a long time because the cancer doesn’t spread, whilst others show spread to brain and lung etc and that is what causes death. This misinformation is potentially harmful. For every person that is cured miraculously, there are thousands where the disease spreads without treatment or in spite of treatment. There ar nuisances that non-medical people would not understand.

The other had pancreatic cancer, even though she had been seeing a doctor for almost a year with symptoms, finally figured out P cancer, ran all sorts of scans & tests then to be followed up with chemo.

Diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer four years ago at the age of 43. Three months of testing and consults before actually doing anything about it. Six rounds of chemo, pretty sure I only needed two to shrink the 4 cm tumor down to 1/2 cm. I scheduled a double mastectomy without reconstruction and my oncologist wanted to put me on another 3-4 rounds of additional "new" chemo. Did I mention each treatment billed my insurance for $32k?! I told her to shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I had my surgery with good margins and no signs in the lymph nodes and no radiation, turns out I was only stage 2. Funny how they didn't know the true extent of the disease until they physically cut it out of me. Everything prior to that was hyped up and speculation. Really?!!! When my oncologist realized that I wouldn't just follow her suggestions anymore, my "medical support team" evaporated, and good riddance. Tamoxifen made me a miserable person so I stopped taking that too. Chemo has left me with neuropathy in my hands and chemo brain is a real thing. I still have trouble remembering things. Heaven knows what other damage the six rounds of chemo has done. I often wonder how much was enough vs. too much. Why did I put myself through hell to potentially keep me alive for now, while possibly shortening my lifespan and damaging my quality of life in the long term....just to put myself back into the cubicle/rat race to continue paying into this inflated and greedy system.

Reminds me of how when I was 22 I went to my family doctor to get an ingrown toenail cut out and my heart sounded weird. With in weeks I was set up to have a cardiac ablation for WPW. Something that the doctor who was performing said ablation kept warning me that if I didn't take care of it at that moment, it could kill me when I was in my 70s. So, I had the procedure done and the doc removed my actual cardiac pathway and left me with extra weaker one. Then when I was 25 my heart stopped while I was taking a shower, because that stupid pathway was giving out. I lost my 20s trying not to die. Now, nearly a decade later I'm on all sorts of medications that I'll take for the rest of my shortened life. My family doctor still has regrets sending me that day and I regret not getting a second opinion nearly every day. Sometimes it just pays to leave things alone if they are not causing problems. I would have rather died from it in my 70s than deal with the near daily fear and probably die in my late 30s or early 40s because it was "caught in time" and "you're young enough to bounce back from this quickly" mentality.

The neurologist seemed pretty annoyed that I was wasting his time and explained to me that most pineal cysts are found on autopsy after causing no problems for their entire lives. I might have another one now in another part of my body. My new doctor is more conservative and said if I wanted to do anything about this that it would be elective and not recommended until it starts causing problems. I think you forget that even if the doctor explains to the patient all this, the patient's family and friends might push them into "doing something." I told my family about this new cyst and of course they freaked out. I had to explain to them that it's just a cyst and it's small and not causing problems yet but they want something done RIGHT NOW and I need to be PROACTIVE.

In the first Nuremberg trials after WW2 the plea of ignorance, or I was just following orders did not make any individual partaking in crimes again humanity not guilty,or at the very least GUILTY by association . If doctors or nurses see the harm that is happening, and turn a blind eye, they are guilty of participating in those crimes, especially since if they are administering experimental poisons to humans without giving informed consent. These jabs are not FDA approved, have no long term studies, and the studies that were done on animals, all of them died. If most of the public can easily find this information with a small amount of research, then health professionals truly have no reason not to know this. Many of doctors and nurses who blindly participated in the original Nuremberg trials, were dealt with in the harshest possible way, and their consequences were a direct result of their actions whether they knowingly part took in them or not,. Ignorance, is a choice, and there were no excuses.

Grandmother’s breast sensitivity was waved off as part of pregnancy and the cancer was actually caught by a local CHIROPRACTOR of all things. Grandmother was only 33 at her death, and my mom was raised by her aunt and uncle, and my mother soon didn’t recognize her own dad...he committed suicide in 1968. I believe in breast cancer screening and awareness efforts because of 33 yr old Jeanette. The other side: just last year an unusual prostate reading led to my dad, age 51, to undergo a biopsy. The biopsy led to sepsis and the sepsis led to cardiac arrest-he survived only because he was already spending the night in the ER. The biopsy was inconclusive for prostate cancer.

The "doctor" in this video lied when he said that. Early diagnosis is absolutely key for cancer and your aunt would've a much better chance if it was diagnosed early. He used the example of a female-cancer that was caught early as a "bad" example, as the woman _had her breast removed_ and _had chemo,_ which she might've not needed *totally forgetting to mention that:* 1) chemo wouldn't have been done in that chase! 2) often woman with breast cancer get blood tested for high-risk germline mutations of their DNA, which would put them at high risk for another breast cancer in the future! Depending on the circumstances, the _oh so bad_ decision to get a complete masectomy is the correct one.

[@karifoto]

So true. Women's health concerns are constantly being ignored by doctors here in the US. It can take extra time, even years, to get a doctor to believe you and start proper care. They often write us off as being "hormonal" or just having anxiety or something. Hopefully this is getting better as time goes on but that's a very real dynamic. I've experienced it before

As a mammographer I retired early due to seeing much over diagnosis and the subsequent procedures. This seemed to be the worst by the newest radiologists at our breast center. I likened it to them having specialized in "billable hours" training in school. You are correct, plus DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) is a highly debated topic among doctors as some do not consider it cancer and some do.

[@maryconner332]

Let me tell you about ductal carcinoma in Situ. In 1993 I was diagnosed with it and had a a small resection of the left breast followed by radiation and chemo. About 6 months later a small pimple popped up in the area of radiation dr biopsied it and said it was cancer this was followed by another round of chemo. Then the skin on my left breast became orange peel like and hard lumps formed. This led to a left breast mastectomy and then a stem cell transplant was able to use my own stem cells. To this day I believe the radiation caused the cancer and none of this would have been necessary.

I think in a lot of cases, it depends on family history. My stepmom, for example, started getting regular cancer screenings because her mother and both of her aunts died of breast cancer. It led to early detection of a very small lung tumour, and we're lucky enough to live in Houston, with MD Anderson. They were able to zap it and that was it. For a while. But, as you said, lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers you can get. And it likes to sneak around to other places. Four years later, another tumor emerged, and they began treatment again. But, on a hunch, her doctor did what he thought might have been an unnecessary body scan to check for metastases. And there were microscopic brain tumors developing that would have taken mind and then her life much faster. Outpatient gamma knife surgery and they were gone. She remained her amazing self the entire time. But the tumors grew back. She had a small cell lung cancer tumor in one lung and a large cell tumor in the other. Her doctors had actually never seen it before, and got her permission to study and write a paper on her case. But, because of that scan, we got 7 more years. 7 more good years. God, I miss that woman so, so much. But I am so thankful for those extra years we got because of that possibly unnecessary scan. Those doctors attended her celebration of life.

My good friend underwent mammograms yearly with nothing to show. In 2020, they found a lump and a biopsy said it was cancer. There is a possibility it could have just been parasites. She was declared stage 1. They did full chemo on her over a year and a half. She did not have insurance and due to the effects of chemo, had to quit her well paying job. She was declared “cancer free” in the fall of 2022. That is when I met her. She was excited to finally be able to find a job again and provide for herself and travel. About a month after I met her she started experiencing extreme fatigue and fever. She would go to the hospital and they would give her a blood transfusion. Then after about 3 weeks, she needed another. Then after 2 weeks. She consistently had low WBC. The doctor gave her a medication to promote the production of WBC. She suddenly had bone pain all through her body. They did a bone marrow biopsy, and was declared to have MDS. MDS is where the DNA in the stem cells (bone marrow) is corrupted (likely from the high dose chemo that was over the top), and it can not produce healthy cloud cells and the could develop into leukemia. She underwent two bone marrow transplants that failed. Later we learned that the matches were 70% and 80%, but there is no chance of success below 85%. So, why did they go forward$ with the transplant? In September she was told her “cancer free” breast cancer was back and metastatic. She elected for a mastectomy and radiation. I have been supporting her financially, but now am very limited. I wish we had known each other earlier. I would have pushed for a second opinion, reconsidering chemo, and encouraging lower dosages. She is having a very hard time, and I don’t know if she will recover. Modern medicine is evil.

I had a melanoma on my shoulder for 25 years. I never thought to have it checked as it had been there for so long and had never changed, so I thought it was nothing, even though it was asymmetrical in shape. When the dermatologist saw it, she insisted we biopsy it, and it came back as a stage one melanoma. The interesting thing was that pathology said it had signs of regression, meaning it had shrunk. The treatment was a simple wide excision, period. You don't think that cancers can shrink, but they do. Your body is smart and will hold some cancers at bay if you are healthy.

My nutrition/herbs teacher told us most humans will have cancer at some point I'm their life. Not all cancer becomes deadly though and some cancer regresses before it's ever noticed.

One thing worth nothing about cancer - Every day your body produces thousands to millions of cancerous cells. And it handles them all, usually. Issues only happen when the cancerous cell continues to reproduce all the while your body is failing to kill it.

[@somethinginthenothing]

Well you got extremely lucky because in most people melanoma spreads aggressively and quickly becomes metastatic. Know what you are talking about before you generalize. Most people's bodies don't heal the cancer once it gets noticeable enough to be diagnosed

You had a spot on your body that developed into melanoma very recently which is why you ahd it biopsied after 25 years.there is NO SUCH THING as a melanoma that lasts 25 years.

What about the other side? My brother was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis, but his doctors kept pushing him off for years for replacement surgery stating that it wasn't bad enough, you've got time, etc. He could not walk from his front door to his mailbox without passing out. His Aortic Stenosis killed him. I too was diagnosed with the same thing. I live in a different state. My cardiologist sent me to have open-heart surgery to replace my Aortic valve with a bovine replacement. I feel better than I have in years. I miss my brother. Please show us the statistics of lives saved from these diagnostic programs?

My dad had stage 4 lung cancer. Went thro treatments. Drs told him they have a very powerful chemo treatment, 3 prepaid treatments. He gave up after the first powerful dose. He was there milk cow.

I wonder, too, if they contribute to sagging breasts and a breakdown of breast tissue. They squeeze the crap out of every part of your breast and do it from every possible angle.

As a cancer survivor, I found this very intriguing and mind-opening. I had lung cancer and was cured by radiation and chemotherapy, but I also submitted to brain radiation due to the belief that certain cancers including lung cancer often spreads to the brain.

[@elainelouve]

@@jamesortega8681 he talks on a general level, based on statistics. Yes, I do understand the statistics. But every case is going to be different, and he isn't the doctor treating me, someone else is. Which means the doctor treating an individual case would know best what should be done in that particular case (as opposed to a youtuber who doesn't even live in the same country). This channel isn't meant to be taken as medical advise, as it litterally says in the description of this video. I understand doctors can have different opinions on a case, but I don't have that kind of knowledge, and watching one opinionated KZbin video won't make me informed on oncology.

[@marinusvonzilio9628]

@@jamesortega8681 Yeah, and those particular examples he chose were *bad.* Take the breast cancer study that he is using to supposedly demonstrate that a surgical procedure was unnecessary. 28 women with diagnosed cancer that was left untreated. 11 developed invasive cancer (meaning that the cancer spread outside the milk ducts and can now spread throughout the body if left unchecked). Of these 11, 5 died. That is 40% chance of developing invasive cancer and an almost 18% mortality. Do these statistics sound like something that supports "surgery is not necessary here" argument, which is what the guy in the video essentially did? And the way he phrased it is very telling. "...it is a cancer that *might* never have caused her any symptoms whatsoever." True statement, you can not accuse him of lying. But when you calculate that according to the study he himself quoted the chances of her not developing "any symptoms whatsoever" were 60% (which are *not* good odds), it becomes kind of mind-boggling why he asserts that surgery in these cases is not something that ought to be pushed. Very few doctors and very few patients will take 60% chances and just hope for the best. You *can not* know whether you will be in the 60% or the 40% group, and doctors as a universal rule of thumb assume the worst, for good reason. The kind of arguments he is presenting only make sense if the invasive and mortality rates are *way bloody low.* Yeah, the woman he used as the example might never have developed any symptoms whatsoever. She also might have died. The key factor here is that the guy *can not know which way it would have went,* and the statistics he himself offered were abysmal. "60% probability she never develops symptoms, it is more than half, sounds good. Let us leave it to fate." In what demented world does this sound like a good call? There is a lot of unnecessary screening going on, a lot of unnecessary surgery, a lot of unnecessary prescriptions, a lot of overdiagnosis, those are all valid criticisms. But the examples this guy took are still *asinine.* Especially since claiming that early detection (though screening) of cancer is somehow not something we should be pushing is just downright *insane,* with many types of cancer by the time you actually *feel* the symptoms your chances of survival have already dropped considerably. Bear in mind the guy is a cardiologist, *not* an oncologist, yet most of the video revolves around cancer. There is a reason why specialisations exist, the field of medicine is far too vast for one person to have deep knowledge on multiple subsections. *Cancer is not this guy's field of expertise.*

[@alisaishere]

@@elainelouve Apparently I got something totally different from this video. It's about making informed decisions. You are not an oncologist so it's hard to make these decisions, but sometimes you cannot put all the weight on what one doctor says. Get a second opinion before choosing a treatment plan. Try to do your own research using actual scientific journals or even basic sites like webmd or the Mayo clinic for easy to digest information to start you off. There are foundations for almost any type of cancer or disease and they usually provide great information that is scientifically backed and is meant to help you, the patient, make educated decisions. But some things are simple to research so that you can ask the right questions. For example, tumor just means an abnormal growth of tissue. It doesn't automatically mean cancer. So if a doctor finds a tumor and says it needs to be removed asap, try to be prepared to avoid unnecessary procedures. Make sure the doctor does a biopsy to tell if your growth is cancer and what variety. If it's benign, ask why it needs to be removed or treated. A lump of cells like a lipoma can be perfectly fine as long as it's not pressing against something important. If everything else seems okay, ask more questions, then seek that second opinion. I bet I just saved you from surgery, which comes with risks, and possible long term problems that come from having to be cut open and get something removed.

[@funnycatvideos5490]

No he's exactly right a doctor doesn't even know what cancer cells look like if they see something that looks suspicious they cut it out there is no definitive check
