I hate how dismissive some doctors are when it comes to cancer. Thank you for making this video, you probably saved hundreds of lives. Anyone can get cancer, young or old. It doesn’t matter if you’re low risk or high risk, cancer doesn’t discriminate. It’s time for doctors to actually put the needs of their patients first. Best case scenario is that nothing is wrong with you, worst case scenario is that you have cancer, but is curable because you advocated for your health and detected it early. ❤

My niece had stage 4 ovarian cancer at age 28. She has been cancer free for 15 yrs now

I'm watching this because I have a strange feeling in my left breast and I'm trying to prepare myself in case anything goes wrong. You're so strong❤

I had a phyllodes tumor at 16! Cancer doesn't discriminate! Sending love.

I asked for a year to get some medical professional to look at an odd growth on my leg. Finally, one PA said, well if you're word about it, you can go to a dermatologist. A month or so later they diagnosed stage 2c melanoma. Lesson is we know our bodies and simply must advocate for ourselves.

you're so strong and positive and this is encouraging 💕💕

Thank you for making this video. It’s excellent and I hope you keep telling your story as it unfolds. I’m sorry this is happening to you. I went through it last year. It’s scary and not fun and I found out how strong I am. You seem very strong too❤

I found a lump and have been blown off twice now. Im finally going in for my biopsy tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm definitely going to be vocal about my feelings!!!

I can not believe how much you were written off just because of your age.. I’m so sorry, you’re strong for sticking to your instincts! 💗

You told this story so well. So straightforward. It's the way I would feel and speak it. Wow. What amazing bad luck that you had this, at this age! It seems like more young people are getting cancer, or is it my imagination? I feel amazed I got to MY age, and I still haven't had any serious cancer, even tho I smoked heavy for years, (I loved smoking...) before quitting. Still. No cancer. I am so sorry you got this! Good luck. Stay strong. I will subscribe as I want to know how things go for you. God bless you!xxxxx

God bless and i pray healing comes to you. You are beautiful and your smile is just stunning. Loved the video

You are so beautiful and strong! I pray for well being. Healing energy to you!

The bravery of people opening up like this is amazing to me.

Listening to this I am so glad I live in South Africa on medical aid. I have had 2 open heart surgeries, numerous ICU visits on life support - fantastic care!! Go St Georges Hospital!!!

I decided to go back through your videos to see how this all started. I’m so sorry that you have had such a rough journey with medical professionals. It shouldn’t be this way.

You’re going to be perfect for this type of vlog. Very best of luck for your journey

Hey Samantha, Suzanne sent me this link. I am rooting for you! I'm about to start retrieval and I want you to know that your courage to get it over with - and to survive - is really really inspiring. You and your fam are in my prayers every day!

You are amazing, strong,and absolutely beautiful!!! My prayers to you🙏🙏🙏

You're in our prayers🙏✝️ Stay strong... 💗

I've been watching your other channel for as long as I could remember. I hope you get better soon. You will be in my prayers.

You are in my prayers. You will make it through♥️

Thank goodness you got it early because I heard the longer you wait it gets worse where you can't treat it

It’s been along time since I’ve seen you are you still watching as little I love your Chris’s crazy adventures videos thank you for many memory’s (great memories) thank you

You're so brave and strong 💪 I'll pray for you and your family 🙏♥️ God is with you, girl 😊 Keep rocking and kicking 😬🔥

Nice to meet you,my friend Good Luck on your journey

22?? That’s really young. I’m 36 and adopted. I know nothing about my bio family and may start getting tested soon. Your a very strong woman. Your spunk and upbeat attitude says it all.

Good morning! I’m 24 I found it I had breast cancer last year at 23 I’ve been wanting to make a vlog on my journey everyone keep telling me as well but I’m camera shy and horrible at speaking as well but you definitely just encouraged me to get up and do it!

I am so sorry that the first doctor didn’t take you seriously. I’m 22 and just saw a doc for a lump who luckily instantly took it seriously, but was still calm and assured me to not worry for the worst, and I have an ultrasound scheduled to check it out. No matter what your age, you know your body better than anyone else. Advocate for yourself!

Thank you for sharing your story.

Have to say for such a serious subject in this video, you actually made me laugh. Just casually texting people and dropping that bomb and you were like “I have to get better at telling people this...” it was just the way you put it over was priceless. You made me cry too, describing in that room you were looking at the faces of your parents and boyfriend and how it was affecting them before thinking of yourself, that’s pure love right there. You are beautiful inside and out, honey.

You are so courageous. I admire you. God be w you.😘❤️

I found your last video and had to start at the beginning. God bless you. I am a 6 year Breast Cancer Survivor but my experience was so much different from yours (which by the way those dismissive doctors are horrible) God bless you my Pink Sister🙏🎗

YOUR SO BRAVE. I'm 23 and searching this bc I'm scared I have skin cancer. God bless you baby. Your beautiful and funny. Keep fighting. Your going to win.

I know firsthand how annoying it is to have them brush you off because you're young. I was 19 when I got diagnosed very late with Stage IV neuroendocrine cancer, partially due to not listening to my own body, and partially at the fault of the doctors. 24 now, still fighting it today. You've got such spirit in you and I commend you for posting these videos and sharing your story. I'm so happy you have such a great guy by your side as well. We will tough through this, Samantha. So glad I found your channel

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️u praying you are pain free.

You are strong person, Keep fighting and thank you for the video.

Thank you for sharing! I just turned 21 today and my doc just scheduled me for an ultrasound.

So crazy how similar our stories are.. Glad you went through and got all those biopsies. I had something similar when I had a breast lump and talk about OW!! Lol, stay strong girl, we're so brave!!

i have a lump and my doctor made me feel like i have nothing and I'm not old enough but I've had it for months and i think about it every day and have anxiety about it all the time.

Hey girl keep fighting, God the Saviour can cure all miracles! May He keep you safe and grant you happiness, amen!

Wow. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. I’m so grateful and proud of you for being so brave and sharing this video. I am shocked and disgusted at the reaction of the doctors and the fact that they seem like they didn’t even take it seriously due to your age. A random question which I appreciate you may not answer but do you/have you ever drank cows milk? I have seen studies that have shown it is linked to cancers including breast due to the hormone estrogen. I hope you are doing well and I pray that you are healing and healthy. ❤️🙏🏽💚

I am so sorry that you went through this and going through it. your story made me teared a little and I want to tell you that you are very brave and thank you for sharing this personal story that will help raise awareness to others and it is going to help others emotionally because I cannot imagine how paint full it is to go through this situation physically and emotionally at such a young age. Stay strong!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you the best.

It’s so heartbreaking that they wrote you off because your age! Kudos to you for speaking up for yourself and listening to your body.

14:10 my friend called me 30 minutes ago and told me she was upset I forgot to tell her my doctors are investigating my lump for cancer and found 2 others. So when she called me back 30 minutes ago she tried to tell me she was a little p!ssed at me and she was worried but I'm ok with whatever diagnosis they give me. She hurried if the phone and she sounded like she was crying, but I need to be ok with whatever happens... I dont mean to sound cavalier. I cant allow every waking moment to be surrounded by the lump on my breast. And even if I'm diagnosed I will try my hardest to not let death consume my life. I love your personality and thank you for sharing your story because I dont want to be annoyed with my friend. Maybe she is really hurt, but I'm not ready to be hurt, I just want to take it one step at a time. I had my doctors move my next imaging moved earlier.

You’re so strong, we kinda have the same story, they just diagnosed me with breast cancer, I’m still in shock, and I want everyone to make sure they are getting their mammograms and doing self checks as well, I’m only 28, but with GOD we can and will get through this

What a beautiful soul.. ❤❤

Thank you for sharing your story my daughter had the same thing happen to her primary did nothing now has stage 2 breast cancer luckily went to gynecologist because of her age 30 years old😢

I’m 24 and I was just diagnosed with Stage II Breast Cancer. It’s in my lymph nodes, but not anywhere else. I feel the same way!! Like yep. This is it. Let do this. I’m just keeping on, keeping on. 🥰 4 more rounds on chemo, our treatment is the same. I already have two daughters and was done having kids, so I’m thankful that everything happened out the way that it did. You’re totally a badass. I love it. I hope you’re doing well! ❤️🙏

I pray all is well🙏🙏 God bless you

Oh my God. God bless you 😇

You are so strong and beautiful. I found out i had breast cancer at 30 on 2/22/19. Worst day of my life. Got a double mastectomy and just had my second surgery for my reconstruction. I don’t know if I could handle a diagnosis at 22. You are so unbelievably courageous. God bless you and here’s to good health for all of us in the future. Cancer free! 🥂

Thank you for sharing your story. Its very educational and "real"....unfortunately your experience is more common than you think. However, sharing this story will empower other young women to never give up and and demand to be taken seriously, no matter what your age..I wish you the very best and will subscribe an follow you as you go thru this journey. Peace and love to you.

Almost 3 years out from my diagnosis..... hugs to you. I still don't feel like I have "recovered" from my treatments in '17 and '18. Not letting them treat me again, but then I'm 60, not 23. All my best and I am now "catching up" on your story.

Sending prayers god bless you !!!

I fought cancer this time last year. HR positive her2 negative cancer. I was 25 when I was diagnosed. I had the lump from the time I was about 21/22. You will get through this!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Wish your mom had been with you on your first apt. Doctors want to put you on antibiotics every time. What happen to blood work then biopsy right away? Sorry you are experiencing this. Your young so that’s a plus. Stay strong and have a Merry Christmas. Your a sweetheart💕🙏🥑🎁🎄🦋

I hope you get better really soon. And also my birthday is on March 7th.

I pray 🙏and I wish 2everyone had cancer get in better soon insha Allah. ♥️

I’m almost 21 and noticed a lump in my breast like a week ago😳 I’m hoping it’s nothing but breast cancer runs in my family so I’m just a tiny bit worried.. thanks for sharing your story!

You’re amazing 💕💕💕

Girl power! You strong, girl. I'm 36, today's my bday. I have supposedly fibrocystic disease. Waiting to have the mamogram and sonogram to check.

I have been diagonised with breast cancer at 26. I also dont really know how to react .Wishing you a quick recovery.

I'm watching because my daughter 22 has found a lump, seen doctor, referred to hospital seen in a week, they took a biopsy well 3, using that staple gun thing. They don't know what it is, they just know its large in size. Shes not worried but after watching your vid I am. She only came across it becuase it just started hurting and felt a lump. You remind me so much like my daughter playing with a teddie as you talk 🙂 and how you wernt digesting the worry until you saw others reactions. Im going to keep my fears to myself and let her carry on with her uni work. X hope you have made a full recovery I will search for more of your videos

I first noticed a lump in my left breast 2 years ago and did nothing about it (I know terrible) but I’m finally going to see a doctor about it. I hope it’s nothing serious but watching this has let me know not to let the doctors dismiss me bc I’m young Update: it was just a fibroadenoma! My doctors were incredible and got me in for a biopsy and didn’t dismiss me at all

I always advocate this to other women that cancer doesn't discriminate and that you are your body's best advocate. If it doesn't feel right get a second opinion. I was diagnosed with breast cancer myself at the age of 28. Had chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation and now hormone therapy. I'm turn ijng 34 this year and doing well. Now after 5.5 years I'm starting my egg freezing fertility. It's a roller coaster emotional journey but you've got this and will survive :)

You are really strong to share your story I really admire that. It kinda got me scared watching the video though because I never thought until recently that breast cancer would occur at a young age. I felt like a lump in my breast recently and I was just going to ignore it cause I'm just 21 but I am going to get checked to see if everything is okay now. This really helped!

Here I am watching it because I'm 37 and I feel that my breast started to get numb while im laying on my right side. Stay strong Samantha!

That sounds very scary i hope and pray that you'll recieve good news i also had the needle stuck in me and it hurts

You’re such brave beautiful girl. I hope you doing well now. What stage was your diagnosis and has it spread to your lymph nodes? Best of luck 🤞🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much for sharing with us 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️God bless you 🙏

"alright well I don't have a baby so this isn't going to work" 😂😂

Samantha you are very brave I hope you will be ok I also hope I will be ok because I have decided to have a mammogram I do it every year so hopefully I will be ok stay safe take great care sending my love alicat xxxx from newark uk

Never too young to develop cancer and I really wish doctor's would take it seriously. We just lost a friend to a rare form of breast cancer ( spindle cell carcinoma ) she was early forties. Bless everyone who is suffering from this horrible disease.

I can’t believe this happened to you! They failed you and it’s very upsetting! I am a cancer patient as well and it took them over a year to find the cancer and that was only because I kept going back to the doctor due to the symptoms. They kept telling me nothing was wrong with me initially but I know me and I knew I was sick. I was 33 years old with Stage 3 colon cancer.

Bless you

The medical field FAILED you! Shame on them. Prayers for you. 🙏🏼

your amazing during my whole treatment i cried, slept and watched youtube, hid under the blankets, chemo affected my cognitive ability so bad i couldn't even figure out how to get my cloths on let alone drive . its funny now, but back then it was awful. i now know how Alzheimer patients feel. i would have never made it to hydration and treatments with out my mom and sister, i couldn't even keep my meds straight. did you experience any cognitive problems on chemo? it was awful looking at my cloths and understanding they go on my body but not understanding how to get them on my body. i remeber not being able to regulate the shower temp id either be burning myself or freezing myself, i think there were times i got in the shower and never washed with soap.... and after my first round of chemo i forgot how to walk down stairs and my son and mom had to teach me to do that...it was crazy. i literally felt like my top half was disconected from my bottem half and i was just two pieces with the top half just floating over the bottom half.

I’m 24 and found a lump in my right breast 2 months ago. Grateful my doctor ordered a mammogram. I’m currently waiting to schedule an appointment so I’m really anxious. Really hoping it isn’t anything serious. It’s also scary since breast cancer has affected 2 women in my family.

I am praying for you...I have to get a ultrasound guided breast biopsy done this Wednesday coming up. I'm scared.... hopefully it comes back Benign but if not I'm preparing myself for the worse. That is chemotherapy and surgery and losing my little itty bitties and hair, brows and lashes. Thank God for Wigs and Breast inserts for the Bra. If I Lose my hair it's just Temporary.

Hi I used to be a huge fan of your old channel I missed you

Also you are so beautiful and strong. 💛

I’m terrified that I’ll have it my mom has had as well as my grandmother and great grandmother I’m so scared I go into my ob next month so I’m praying I can talk to them and ask them what to do! I have a daughter she’s almost one and I pray she doesn’t have it when she older god only knows .

i’ve been dealing w really bad breasts for 10 months (i just turned 18) including discharge, lumps, etc etc etc etc.. and my mammogram test is tomorrow. i’m so nervous..

Your story is crazy I agree with the previous comment, the medical field failed you. They do this so often with young patients, just because its rare doesn't mean it can't happen. I'm 27, and years ago I started developing breast pain in my right breast along with some lumps, I told my doctor, who said the same thing to me! "Oh you're too young its probably fibrocystic tissue or cysts, you'll just freak yourself out" I eventually got a ultrasound at 25 they found two cysts and said I was too young and had no family hx of breast cancer and the radiologist actually laughed at me. Then a few months after that, my mother found out she had invasive ductal carcinoma. its been a year since my mother had cancer, I still have pain that's worsening and the lumps are getting bigger. I have a new doc who I just saw last week, she's ordered me a mammogram and another ultrasound. Im hoping its nothing but now Im scared because I've waited so long, and no one before took me seriously.

I cried at the exact same time. It was traumatic.

You are amazing women stay strong .can I ask you have you ever did a root canal on your teeth ?

When is the medical world going to stop ghosting young women !!!

I would definitely wanna see a video on your egg freezing

I’d love to hear how you told the first doctor you have cancer! Maybe then she won’t be so careless and brush off younger people.

So I found a hard lump on the side of my breast a couple days , so I looked up breast cancer story time (I’m only 21 years old about to turn 22 in 3 months ) . Breast cancer is very common in my family as well so I just really enjoyed this video. Since we are basically the same it was funny how nonchalant you were because I react the same way to bad stuff that happens to me😅😅 it was just Comforting to see somebody my age going through something like this so it seems less lonely

Wow girl , I have to go for a follow up and I’m so nervous

Thanks for sharing your story. I chuckled at the chicken wing thing.

Gonna have a breast lump examined soon. Im 23. Wish me luck i guess(: also its really sad they didnt take you serious first.

No doctor should ever tell anyone that they are too young to have cancer.

I’ve had pain in my right boob for a week and a half now and found a lump a few nights ago. Went in today and they told me the same thing they told you (but I did breastfeed my son up until a few months ago). Thinking it’s a milk duct thing or cyst but glad I heard your story to know to keep an eye on it for sure!

I am 26, at 22 years old I complained for a while to my family doctor, she said I was too young to be worried about such things. This month I had enough of having this weird irregular bumps on my breast and not knowing what it is. My new doctor scheduled me a mammogram for the next month. I am so stressed already, this things are scary. Hope everything is okay, but I can't stop thinking about if I have something....and if I had pressure my doctor more for some exams...

As a guy I at some point started feeling pain in my left breast when my GF hugged me. My doctor: "probably inflammation, take ibuprofen". Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the gynecologist. Gynecologist: "ultrasound seems ok, probably bacterial, take antibiotics for a week" Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the hospital. Hospital: did another ultrasound and photos, checked the blood, said the breast is enlarged but otherwise things look normal. I should apply cold wraps and come back a couple weeks later. Did that, didn't help. Got sent to the proctologist. Proctologist: took blood samples in two week intervals and checked the hormones, said the hormone levels are normal. But he could always take out the glands in the breast that men also have in there, because "glands are always a source of trouble". I rejected that suggestion so got sent back to the hospital. Hospital: took more photos and a tissue sample, said tissue seems fine. I should just wait and come back if it gets worse. Over the next couple months the breast got over time less painful (but stayed slightly bigger then the other). Got a followup checkup at the hospital. They said "stopped growing, no more painful, tests are fine, might have been some slight hormonal thing, case solved". The entire journey took like one and a half years. So I guess I got lucky that it's nothing bad. But it was odd how much the docs were blindly guessing. I still have no idea what caused that.

Always trust your gut

I just came across your channel hope you beat this you can do it people have beat this before 👍
