No One Would Listen! - Doreen | Breast Cancer | The Patient Story

Doreen was away on a work trip when she found a lump on her breast. Prior to finding the lump, she suddenly started gaining weight. Her doctor dismissed it as her “just being fat.” But Doreen didn’t give up, pushed for answers, and was later diagnosed with stage 2A IDC triple positive breast cancer.

In this cancer vlog, Doreen stresses the importance of self advocacy and how it saved her life, undergoing and recovering from TCHP chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, and radiation therapy.
