They Told Me It Was A Cyst - It Was CANCER! - Kate | Stage 4 Breast Cancer | The Patient Story

After noticing a lump while breastfeeding, she sought medical attention, but was repeatedly told she was “too young” for cancer. Over two years, the lump grew to 15cm, invading her chest wall, skin, and lymph nodes, leading to her stage 4 diagnosis.

In this powerful video, Kate reflects on her experience, from the pain of losing her hair to finding strength for her children. She opens up about her determination to fight, the importance of self-advocacy, and her advice to never wait to enjoy life or demand answers from your doctor.

Thank you, Kate, for sharing your story to help others.
