Woman denied a colonoscopy by her doctor died of colon cancer at 39, friend says in viral Twitter thread
A Twitter TWTR, 0.33% thread about a woman who recently died at 39 from colorectal cancer has spotlighted awareness about the proper age to begin screening for the often-fatal disease. It has also raised questions about how seriously the medical system takes health concerns among women.
Caitlin Gibson, a reporter at the Washington Post, shared the story Monday about the woman, a friend of hers, on the social-media platform. The thread has since received thousands of retweets.
And those who have responded to Gibsons thread have shared stories of being misdiagnosed or ignored by doctors, only to face severe consequences, such as eventually finding out they had skin, breast or colon cancer.

VIDEO: Maple Ridge woman with celiac disease warns of being misdiagnosed
After suffering from what she thought was a stroke, a Maple Ridge woman had to go through four years of tests and scans before being diagnosed with a disease that affects one per cent of the Canadian population.
Sonia Pereira was eventually diagnosed with celiac disease, a condition, according to the Canadian Celiac Association, where the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten.

Woman's 'panic attacks' were caused by tumor lurking in her brain
Kim Grau was prescribed Xanax by a psychiatrist who thought her symptoms were due to anxiety and panic disorders. The real cause was much more serious.

But I'm sure this will never happen from the who people report on women for a 10,000 dollar bounty... or to the police for prosecution.
Sure.
... sure.

Experience. The other part is being gaslighted into submission, making you feel like youre looney tunes. Let me tell you, These are the kind of experiences that result in strong women...if you survive.
