Hannah, a young woman and TikTok creator, is raising awareness after doctors ignored her symptoms for nearly a year, leading to a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Despite having a cough, rash, fatigue, and weight loss, her GP repeatedly gave her antibiotics and refused in-person exams.
Her condition worsened until a 12cm tumor caused pneumonia. Even then, her chest pain was dismissed as menstrual cramps by hospital staff. Only when a nurse pushed for tests did she get an X-ray and CT scan—revealing cancer.
Now undergoing chemo, radiation, and a clinical trial, Hannah says her diagnosis could’ve come much sooner. “It might save your life,” she warns, urging people to trust their gut and demand proper care.
She and her husband Charlie share her story on TikTok with humor and honesty, calling out “medical gaslighting.” She encourages patients to ask doctors to *document* any refusal of testing.
Hannah’s story is a powerful reminder: don’t be afraid to speak up and push for answers when your health is on the line.
