7. This makes me so mad
My mom was seeing a pain management doctor for 2 years prior to her diagnosis of ovarian cancer. She was complaining of stomach pain, vomiting daily, and lost 70 pounds in 6 months without trying. Everytime she mentioned these symptoms she was told that she's just "getting older" and she's overweight and she's "menopausal." By the time she was diagnosed in March of 2004, she was stage 3C. She died June 15, 2005. It doesn't matter if you go to the doctor with these symptoms, it's still "all in your head."
