his death is so shocking. he was still young.

i don't know how much of it is confirmation bias on my end, but it seems i keep hearing of people having cancer younger and younger. kate micucci (of garfunkel and oates) was diagnosed with early stage lung cancer, and she is 41 and a nonsmoker. chadwick boseman, who passed so soon and tragically. i know two women who had ovarian cancer in their 30s (one recovered, one, sadly, succumbed to it). it greatly worries me.

It’s an actual phenomenon but with younger people it’s been mostly gastrointestinal in the last few years - before you didn’t have to worry about regular screening (colonoscopies) until you were 45+, so I’m talking about people only in their 30s 🫠

The ovarian one is especially dangerous and deadly for women because when women complain of symptoms/things wrong with their body, they are usually dismissed and ignored. The cancer develops and worsens, then when it’s finally discovered, the doctor then tells the woman it’s too late now and she will die

women are often told they “just have IBS” since the symptoms are bloating and digestive problems (constipation/diarrhea)

my female primary doc told me it was just constipation issues. thankfully I kept insisting for months. it took an ultrasound to get things moving.

I would be so full of rage…. I hope you confronted her on how her ~mistake would have killed you.

Stay strong, bb!!! I’ll be thinking of you - I have two family members fighting different types right now too. ♥️

yeah, I keep reading about people in their 30s getting colon cancer. I have a male coworker with gastro problems for a while now and I keep urging him to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy but he's so stubborn...
I'm getting chemo for stage 1 ovarian (no family history) and I just turned 41 in November. it's nuts.

My cousin passed away of metastatic breast cancer when she was in her early 30s -- her daughter wasn't even a year old. It's awful.
