A young woman from the UK, known online as Hannah, has shared her harrowing journey of being medically gaslit for eight months, leading to a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Hannah recounted experiencing a persistent cough, full-body rash, extreme fatigue, and significant weight loss starting in July 2021. Despite her worsening symptoms, she was repeatedly dismissed by her general practitioner, who advised her to take antibiotics and refused further investigations. The situation escalated when Hannah developed unbearable chest pains, leading her to seek emergency care with a suspected heart attack. It was during this hospital visit that a junior doctor, noticing something amiss on her X-ray, ordered a CT scan. The scan revealed a 12-centimeter tumor pressing on her lungs and heart, confirming a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. After her diagnosis, Hannah underwent eight months of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a clinical trial. She emphasizes that her cancer could have been treated at an earlier stage if her initial concerns had been taken seriously. Hannah now uses her platform to advocate for patient rights, urging individuals to insist that doctors document any refusal for scans or tests, as this simple step could potentially save lives.
