I know if at least two cases of women who went to doctors and said they believe they have breast cancer. The doctors told them they were too young to have breast cancer. Turns out they had breast cancer and by the time they got diagnosed and treated it was too late and they both died. The doctors need to be educated as well. A male friend of mine had breast cancer and the doctors in Jamaica laughed at him. Thankfully he migrated and was successfully treated in the USA. Sadly, because of the doctors ignorance and the lack of early diagnosis and treatment he now has prostate cancer.
