Was your breast cancer misdiagnosed by a radiologist?

Yes, I, too, had a misdiagnosis. Two years before I was diagnosed with Stage 3 (tumor in right breast and lymph node involvement), I found three lumps in my right breast in 2017. I went for a mammogram and ultrasound. They said they don't appear to be cancer and to monitor with 6-month check-ups. I did 6 months later. Then I moved. A year later I was diagnosed with Stage 3. I didn't have a biopsy until 2019. Why? I'll never know. Now I'm Stage 4 with liver mets. Not a great prognosis. Just going down the chemo train until the last stop when they tell me it doesn't work anymore and my liver can't take any more drugs. Luckily, I have very little pain or discomfort yet. Reading a book called "Being Mortal." It puts things in perspective for my next stage of getting ready to enter the little last stage of life. So scary. But I will pray. And I will hold my loved ones close and dear. I wish you the best and hope you have a better outcome. Yes, one needs to ask for things/procedures/screenings/biopsies even when doctors don't. I have learned that the hard way. Insist! Its your life.

I’m so sorry to hear of your suffering and am amazed at your strength! There is always hope, regardless of what “Stage” diagnosis we are told. If you haven’t looked into alternative therapies as an adjunct to your chemotherapy, you might be interested to know many people fully recover or live long lives after Stage 4 cancer diagnosis. The Truth About Cancer.com has a wealth of information in that regard. Wishing you peace, happiness and love. 💕
