I found an incredible page today, http://www.maureensmission.org and there is a video from Maureen Thiel, who died from breast cancer, about her misdiagnosis for many years of breast cancer.
It is a heartrending story, and a story that is still happening to many women today, who die from breast cancer due to lack of proper testing and doctors not paying attention to sometimes very obvious symptoms.
This is a video every woman should see, especially anyone who has ever been told the breast lump is only a cyst, or nothing to worry about. There is a serious gap in health coverage today, and Maureen's surviving spouse, William Thiel, is trying to bring this "lack" in our system to everyone's attention. There is a wealth of information on this site. Please visit this site for your own information and for every woman you know.
