So... The first physician failed to detect the actual tumor hanging out of her uterus, then scrapes the uterine lining sending the cancerous cells throughout her entire body, then the physicians misdagnose the metastases and also deny her a lifesaving hysterectomy, and then they misplace the radiation beam and burn her stomach so she can't digest any food anymore? And I'm not even half way through the video. Can't put into words how furious I am.
@@shin-ishikiri-no this video is not about the covid vaccine. This woman spent her final moments in life to help prevent what happened to her to ever happen to anybody else again. This is no place for your covid conspiracies. Disrespectful.
@@archaenthus I can comment whatever I need to, whenever I want. I am spreading awareness for people to think for themselves. You are doing nothing but following invisible rules that don't even exist. I said nothing to disrespect this person. Your imagination is strong.
@@shin-ishikiri-no In a way you are disrespectful to her and her message. You're trying to draw attention away from her story to spread conspiracies that have zero relevancy to this video nor to her message. Spread them elsewhere, or better yet, don't. Also, just because you can do something doesn't mean it's necessarily something you should do. Some things are better kept to oneself.
This woman deserves a Nobel peace prize.The total strenght she shows and selflessmess for sharing this to the world while being so unwell .God has a special place for her in heaven.A TRUE ANGEL 😇
Is there anything that van be done to make it happen i am not sure if i can do anything as i am from Canada .If you know anything that i can si olease let me know please
Watched this till the end. I'm a 62 year old man, and I'll never get this cancer, but I felt it was the very least I could do to listen to her story. No words can express what a beautiful soul she had. God bless her, and shame on the doctors who failed her.
At age 28 I had the same cancer. I had a normal menstrual cycle in June, and then a week later I started bleeding again. It did not stop until I had a hysterectomy at the end of November. My first doctor who treated me just didn't seem to take my complaints seriously. I was growing weaker by the day and he said I needed a DNC, which is the scraping of the uterus. I told him that I believed I had cancer and he laughed at me. He said he loved people who diagnosed themselves. I left his office that day and made an appointment with another doctor. I saw him the next week and he did biopsies. As soon as the results came in he called me and said the results were not good and scheduled me with the head of oncology at a hospital 50 miles from my home. He told me to pack a bag because I would not be coming home anytime soon. I saw the oncologist and he admitted me that day. I had to have blood transfusions before I could have surgery. I had two surgeries in three days and three weeks later I went home. I was so thankful for the second doctor for listening to me and acting quickly. He as well as the Oncologist saved my life. Please listen to this lady. This cancer is curable if caught before it spreads outside the uterus. You are your best advocate so get that second opinion.
Sandra Reading your story was so frightening when you said the first doctor wanted to do the uterine scraping. Thank goodness you got another opinion. The medical mistakes in this lady’s treatment were horrifying. Mistake after mistake after mistake. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did but thank goodness you got other opinions. Do you mind if I ask how long ago that was? I have to wonder if she might have been able to be saved if 1) they didn’t give her hormone replacement therapy, which was adding fuel to the fire, and 2) they didn’t do the uterine scraping which instantly spread the previously contained cancer around her entire body, and 3) the likely incorrect placement of the radiation beam. I know there were more mistakes that she discussed but there were so many that it’s hard to keep track. It’s atrocious that the first doctor laughed at you and sarcastically said he loved people who diagnosed themselves, if you listened to him your cancer would have spread. You didn’t attend medical school but you were right! I shudder to think how many people die unnecessarily because of doctor’s mistakes.
@VeganLife-mn1jp This was 41 years ago. I am just turned 69 years old in March. What happened to this lady is the reason I shared my story. We were both young to have this type of cancer, which is one reason our doctors didn't take it seriously. Usually, older women around menopause develop it. I was treated with hormone therapy by my first doctor. It only made it worse. The Oncologist told me that you never treat this cancer with hormones. He also said a DNC would have spread it throughout my body. This sweet lady didn't have to suffer and die like this. The more people who become aware of this type of cancer and the proper treatment, the more lives will be saved. Ladies need to know that it can happen to them at a young age, and if you are having prolonged problems with your menstrual cycle seek help. Ask questions and get second opinions.
Drs infuriate me. They’ve been telling me for over 20 years that everything is is my head. Now, in my 20’s I’m diagnosed with several chronic diseases and now I’m feeling worse and very very tired. Not sure what’s wrong now. Point is, I’ve experienced firsthand drs shrugging me off as a headcase, laughing at me when I’m concerned with what I might have. This poor woman, it breaks my heart. She was so strong.
"My first doctor who treated me just didn't seem to take my complaints seriously." Why does this seem to happen so often? Another gal had lung cancer as a non smoker and it took a second doctor to order an x-ray and CT scan to finally be diagnosed all the while precious time was ticking away. Oh and did you ever go back to the first doctor and shove it in his face? I would have.
@Mustang-bj5pe I didn't go back to the first doctor. My last visit with him was very stressful, and nothing I could say to him would have affected his attitude. Sometimes, you just have to be grateful for the second chance of life you have been given and move on. We lived in a fairly small town and word got around about the way he treated his patients. He moved his practicen after a couple years. I just prayed that he didn't harm anyone else.
I am extremely fortunate - my mum had Endometrial Cancer and her GP was really on the ball. He had her tested for a couple of weeks and within a month mum was in hospital having a radical hysterectomy. They caught it early and mum has been cancer free for the last 15 yrs. She didn't require any further treatment. She's now a healthy 86yr old
It is so rare for a Doctor to be so compassionate,she was truly blessed to have that one.....I heard years back that Doctors were taught to hold their feelings back with patients and not to be compassionate or caring in any way...just do their job as quickly in and out as possible.......and you as the patient CAN see and feel IF this Dr. Is a caring person or not for yourselves with the vibes you get from them....if not,it would pay to get another DR....
@@salvolondon Yes she was in her 70's. The specialist she saw said that she had 2 high risk contributing factors. Firstly she was on a type of HRT that is no longer used as there were side effects that weren't known at the time ( this was the early 1980's) and also she hadn't given birth - I'm adopted. Evidently this put her in a higher risk. Not sure if this is still the thinking but it certainly was when she was diagnosed. Also we're in Australia so thinking could be different for different countries. The main symptom for her was she started spotting every month.Technically she didn't go through menopause as she was on HRT very early on and never went through a so called natural menopause. So the spotting was a huge indicator something was wrong.
Salvo Smith my mother was diagnosed at the age of 71, never had any hormone therapy. The cancer returned after four years and she is undergoing chemotherapy and as it presented in her colon, she has an ileostomy.
She’s a doctor herself. A life wasted on misdiagnosed too busy doctors who saw her. A warrior in her own right. Her life story deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and ANY Humanitarian Award for peace, bravery and love. Rest now.
There's a lot of medical bias towards women(of colour even more) in healthcare, especially surrounding the reproductive system. Most is probably not deliberate on the doctors part, but a lot of serious conditions get dismissed repeatedly before finally being diagnosed. It's too bad that this woman could have had a better outcome if the cancer had been caught earlier
She has a doctorate, but not in a scientific subject. She got herself extremely mixed up. I think she must have had ovarian cancer, not endometrial cancer. A D&C is a very thorough test for endometrial cancer, and this was performed on her. It is more thorough than a simple endometrial biopsy, which takes only a little piece of tissue, and could miss the cancer. A D&C checks the entire endometrium for cancer.
She put on makeup, makes an effort, and soldiers on. What an inspiration! And she still glows, and has gratitude. So much grace, so much dignity. God bless her.
I expect someone did her make-up. She was an intelligent woman who tried to hold on as long as she could. I would have stopped that, long before she did. That is my view on these terminal conditions. They don't get better and since we do not have legal euthanasia, some of us have to endure the debilitation and misery that comes with the diagnosis. That is when we take the issue into our own hands. We always have that option and that choice. It will not come from the medical community. Just moving on.
In the State of Oregon, physician assisted euthanasia was recently legalised. It obviously took a lot of effort and energy for her to make this video, yet she bravely carried on until she made all her points. It was obviously important for her to leave a warning and overview of her experience as a cautionary tale perhaps. This evidently was her legacy. I suspect she let go and transitioned shortly after this was finished.
Bernadette is missed so much. It so sad that our beautiful niece had to die before us. She would be 55 if still alive. She did so much in her life and still had more plans to do. God lover her. If only our lives had been different. 💕💕💕💖💖💖💖X
My prayers to you and your loved ones for the loss of your dear n i e c e Bernadette. She looks like she was an amazing thoughtful giving woman. My heart was breaking listening to her tribulations and all of the issues that she had to face due to all of the misdiagnosis of her condition. The whole time I was thinking that she made a full recovery and didn't know the outcome until I read the comments. Again sending you and your loved ones my heartfelt condolences for the loss of this beautiful loving woman.
Hi, I am sitting in a severe level lockdown in NZ and stumbled across this video of your niece...can you tell me if Bernadette had suffered from endometriosis before her cancer was diagnosed ? Thanks in advance
Thanks Lynn Jones. It really helps when there are people like you who say such lovely things. Bernadette is a great loss to us and to many others. She actually made a 6 series on TV channel 5. It was called How to make your child brilliant. You can see it on UA-cam, and to see her on that, you would never think she would ever get cancer. So try to watch it, it's really good, once again thanks for your kind words🌈🙏💖
People with thumbs down don't realise they will get cancer 2 is usually 1 out of 2 to believe you me those people with thumbs down going do it go in thumbs down because your time is Gonna Come brother or sister in you remember me Stevie the window cleaner that's my name because when you do get that cancer which I know you don't you remember Me Stevie the window cleaner
My dear friends those thumbs down on this woman because she's got cancer let me tell you is ladies cancer disease will soon be your disease you remember me Stevie the window cleaner when you have got this disease 1 out of 2 will get this cancer I have never never understood you humans when it is my time to go go I'm going to say thank you get me out of this evil world
Even though the cancer has made her so tiny and frail she is still very beautiful I could only imagine her in her healthier years yet she is smiling through it all and trying to help others what an outstanding woman
So many mistakes made in her history. What I don't understand is that in order to find abnormal cells, a biopsy would be necessary (or a scraping as she had). Or is a hysterectomy a first step? There's lots of discussion about how there are too many needless hysterectomies (not in her case of course).
@Jon Jackson It's done like this: respect, listen to and validate your patients. Had doctors done that for me it wouldn't have taken me 7 years to get the diagnosis and surgery I needed. I knew the exact illness I had before they did. It takes someone ignorant to assume educated people can never make mistakes. Even for my degree, I'm aware clinicians can misdiagnose or mistreat clients, and I will always remember to treat mine as an equal, not as intellectually inferior or hysterical off the bat. This lady's death was entirely avoidable, and it reflects a systemic problem in the world of medicine.
@@furosh118 i dont think the first doctor did a biopsy at all (thus what she meant by "cover up"). even if it was, she wasnt informed until she/second doctor asked for em. The scraping for pap smear isnt a scraping of the womb as a whole either. so even if it did loosen the cancer, it shouldnt have done so too much. As she mentioned, it shouldnt have even gotten that far. Her cervix seems to have shown signs of abnormality that should have indicated the potential for cancer. But was ignored by the first doctor and assumed she just needed scraping. I dont know if she just didnt mention if they tried to do a biopsy then or any other tests, but i assume they didnt. Or didnt have to since a week later the cancer was already all over the place.
Two doctors at the hospital, they truly should have gone on further with me, these last few weeks... The PA I seen at the emergency in between these “ doctors “, he knew... they should have caught a lot, they haven’t. Especially when when cancer is high in my family, including two of my children. She is such my hero, I’m sharing her story with my gastroenterologist, he , and his staff have been so incredible. I can’t eat now, I’m starving feeling always. I’m also getting aloud of a holistic doctor. She’s absolutely does need, deserve an award above a noble prize.
What an incredible woman. Even in her last days, in all her pain, she still dedicated her time to spread awareness to other women. May she rest in peace 🙏 ❤ ❤
@@caroldavis9852 Which scripture is that? Jesus would NEVER EVER tell his children such nonsense. In fact scripture tells us: John 15:19 KJV [19] IF ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because YE ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 1 John 2:15 KJV [15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Jesus commands His children to love one ANOTHER as He has loved us. John 13:34-35 KJV [34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Okay I’m a new Christian u might no your scriptures point maid meant Jesus said I give u a new commandment love each other as I’ve loved u dosent that mean anybody n every body
Patty Souza I agree with you, damn shame on them, 😑 And this woman she WAS a Doctor, so she had a HUGE knowledge in medicin. The hospital staff usually have much MORE respect 4 patient that are high educated, & usually treat them better! So it is very strange that this poor woman was so bad treated 🤦♀️😔
That is absolutly crazy!!! No forgiveness for that doctor! There are so many ways of analysis that can detect cancer at early stage and none of that doctors did it!
It happens all the time. My wife went to the doctor for three years complaining of a swollen abdomen and gastric problems and on a scan they saw fluid in the abdomen but said it was nothing and gave her tablets to dry it up. She died two and half years ago from gallbladder cancer that had spread to her liver, bowel, lungs and other parts her body. She was a beautiful quiet lovely person that I will miss till the day I die. Not only did they end her life they wrecked mine to. Doctors and nurses like to put themselves on a pedestal that most don't deserve.
@@familiademers the drs are half the problem. So much negligence and disgraceful attitude. It’s like everyone knows someone who’s died too soon unnecessarily. It’s an utter abomination !
RIP beautiful soul. My daughter was also misdiagnosed and she lost her life because of doctors carelessness. Before death she had to suffer a lot. She was also a beautiful soul just like you..
I'm so sorry for your loss ..as I was writing this msged I stopped and said a prayer for you the child you lost along with the lady in the video and all your family. God bless you all and bring peace and healing to your hearts
I worked as a gynecologist nurse for years. ANY abnormal bleeding in perimenopausal or menopausal should have an endometrial biopsy. Very simple and diagnosed easily. If one would be positive a total hysterectomy is cure in early stages. I've never heard of leaving the uterus there. (I live in America ) this cancer is very curable with early intervention. Such a shame... she is so dignified, bless her. RIP sweet lady.
Christine Miller please help me- my mom is 52 & had a 23mm lining w/cysts & super heavy bleeding so they did a d&c. Now this lady says that's the worst thing to do. Should she revisit someone else??
@@ellabistro8246 it's can be only possibly bad if it was cancer ? What was the diagnosis? They should have a pathology report showing if it was cancer. If it is benign...just may not need anything else done but follow ups.
@@aprildenisecuffley1270 Best wishes to you. Dont be too afraid...this poor lady in the video went on for a long time and wasnt treated appropriately. You seem to be. ♥️ plus you just started bleeding...if you have cancer that's very early diagnosis. It could be benign things too.
I am going through a horrible situation and had very neglectful doctors. I suffer of excruciating pain was supposed to have surgery and the health professionals I was under care have failed me.
I am so angry at the fact they denied her a hysterectomy and that her doctor lacked the knowledge/skills to identify what was wrong with her. Her doctor caused her unnecessary pain and ultimately killed her.
The doctor didn't kill her. That's ridiculous. I'm sure a qualified doctor isn't am idiot like you appear to suggest. The more likely course of events is that such cancers are incredibly difficult to detect, and the doctor went through a checklist of medical issues which you and I have absolutely no knowledge of, yet you're quick enough to throw all your eggs in one basket and basically call the doctor a fucking clown... Shameful.
My dear wife died in 2012 of ovarian cancer and I nursed her but watching her go over 8 months so I know what this lady is saying. I still cry buckets over losing someone so special.
Is that the only cure?? I have continuous bleeding and I'm praying I do not have endometrial cancer 😔 I have an upcoming appointment to see what is going on.
OMG - just seeing this in 2019. When she ended her discussion she made me cry. She faced death with dignity, grace and bravery even though she was suffering tremendously.
Me too, when she looked into the camera and spoke directley to us and wished us well....my eyes just filled up immediatley...what a strong willed, brave and determined lady to leave this message for people....plus you could tell she was struggling with pain and severe acid .... this is one video i will never forget and I am about to share it with as many people I know x
Despite her losing so many weight, her natural beauty still shined through. She had so much life and willingness to live that it makes some of us that complain about things not going our way seem so small the fact that we are not having to worry about struggling to live.
Bernadette had so much to live for. She was forever coming up with different ideas. Thank you for your lovely words. I cannot believe it's almost 6 yrs in August since Bernadette died. She had a lot to put up with. She was always strong and positive. I am Bernadettes aunty her Mum was my sister, she tragically died 2003., and her dad died 4 mths before Bernadette. So how she could speak freely about her illness makes her having been very very brave. Missed so much.
Denise Hicks Very sad that her father passed four months before she did, so she had that sadness on top of her own illness. Perhaps it’s better for him if he didn’t have to bury his child but he must have known she was terminal. I’m sorry to hear you lost your sister, niece and brother in law.
And here I am responding to myself… I am awaiting results… swelling in the mid-drift is an understatement…. That’s the only place I’ve gained… bleeding everyday… for 8 months straight… so much more…😢
My considerable internet research has finally paid off and recognized with extremely good facts to exchange with my friends and the world. Medical Doctors and Dermatologists said (HSV 1&2, Herpes zosters) do not have a medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells. it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn't an incurable virus! your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication, it is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without any side effects, natural herbs kill the virus totally not just reducing the outbreaks. I just got my test result today after 7 days of using the herbal Medication and it came out Negative to both HSV 1&2.im so delighted I recommend this to anyone suffering from herpes virus. You can get natural Herbal Medication from Dr. Aloha contact him through his email: Alohaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +1(202)871-3222
There are many good thing about doctors clearly but that out of the way,medical error is a leading cause of death here in America. I had an accident but did not injure my head.Frankly, had I done so I might now be dead. It is too long a story ( 4 surgeries) but caught errors all along the way Egregious ones in some cases. I had a lot of pain but refused narcotics etc.which they tried to push daily. Big pharma is aggressive here. I even refused a surgery which I know might be hard to believe but ended up saving portions of my leg by doing. The two things I would recommend is to STAY AWAKE if you can or try and have an advocate at all times if you are ever hospitalized.
Speaking from someone who lost their mother/best friend to breast cancer because of a doctor's error; doctors are not gods. They are HUMAN. They make mistakes just like anybody else. We've all made mistakes at a job at least once in our life if not more. We ask doctors to be more than human and they just can't be. It took me 4 years to stop blaming the doctor and put the blame where it surely belonged; the cancer.
Yes...and her vocabulary.... I only saw she was a doctor herself after in the description after I watched her video. Lovely lady. I bet she was a caring, compassionate doctor.
@@BlueButterfly7777 She did say she was not a medical Dr. There are many different kind of Drs. particularly in Europe, and from what I gathered she lived in France.
I had heavy bleeding, at around 48 years old, I went to my gynaecologist, who, fortunately took it seriously, and did biopsies.... Pre cancerous cells were diagnosed, and I was was very fortunate to have an amazing gynaecologist, who, offered a total hysterectomy before they turned to cancer !!!!! My heart breaks for this beautiful lady....
@@vanessaoverton9796 Wouldn't it make sense to take out the cancerous organ to decrease tumor load and then fix the acidic environment afterwards? It doesn't seem to make sense to leave a known cancer in place, especially for an organ that's not essential. Yet I know studies show that sometimes, removing a primary tumor can cause micro-metastases to bloom (unless no micro-metastases had spread yet)
@@vanessaoverton9796 this woman was healthy in the video.. way way way healthier than any human being around me. And yet it came back.. so uhhh, nope, the evidence that you're wrong is literally right here.
I’m 48, bleeding heavily and going for my ultrasound next week if I can manage to start my period before then. My first ultrasound showed a thickened lining, I’m expecting a biopsy. I should not be watching these videos. But I also can’t look away.
This woman suffered from medical incompetency and neglect at multiple levels and from multiple medical professionals. She tried her best to get help, and help failed her. God bless her for sharing her story; May her memory be a blessing.
Yes but this woman who was dying she is a very very very spiritual woman she knows where she is going that's why she is not scared it's only people that think there's nothing after this those people are scared we are not
RIP beautiful lady. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 2 years ago. Doctors told me there was a 99% chance it was cancer before they even ran any tests. I was sent to a specialist and fortunately it turned out to be stage 4 endometriosis. I had a full hysterectomy. God bless this wonderful woman.
I’ve been stage 4 endometriosis for a long while now. I’ve been refusing a hysterectomy because I wasn’t 40 and I was having a really hard time accepting that I could never get pregnant. I really had to unpack all of it. Now that I am 40 I have decided, it’s time. It’s getting harder and harder to manage..pain wise. Does the abdominal pain get better after hysterectomy?
@@anniemunson3675 yes, it does help so much! And I completely understand how you felt, I had my surgery at 30 years old. I’m 35 now and I’m glad that I went through with it.
Because of past surgies,scar tissue and 2 big hernias I couldnt have hysterectomy. I had an inner and outer radiation and chemotherapy. I pray every day it dont return after 4 years clear
One of the most touching contributions I have ever seen on UA-cam. I am moved to tears, enraged by the medical failures, and inspired by a woman who generously and serenely offers her remaining moments, while clearly suffering, so that others might benefit. Anyone who wants to witness the greatest qualities a human might possess would be well served by watching this.
Barbara D : I do not believe, but read too often that people 'pray'. Apparently it does nothing..... This beautiful woman never ONCE mentioned about a god, so don't impose god onto others.
Yara, I am so very sad that you feel this way; I am praying that you come to know Jesus as your personal savior; Barbara D only is speaking truth. Peace be with you.
To Chachi925: isn't everyone speaking truth....?? When this woman died anytime ago, either she already is in heaven or she isn't. To pray weeks later she is in heaven is too late anyway. It's not that a prayer weeks later will let god open his frontdoor afterall. When you pray this woman is in heaven, means you ~doubt~ she could just the same has landed in hell?!? That's nice talking between the lines..... :-/ I'm so happy I do not have to live in fear for a hell, and live and act out of fear. And I have also no doubt if she is in hell: it does not exist. I hope you really try to find demonstrable prove for your claims. There's nothing but peace around here. No religeous-based war, no churches where they let me live in fear. I live on the planet Earth! Nasa is looking for Earth-like planets. If they find one, is that planet within reach for your god and can he gets it as a new toy? Or will such a planet has his 'own' god? (spoiler-alert: neither!)
To Trish Saint: "for someone who doesn't believe"? People who believe have more to say? No needs for pity, I live a life free of indoctrination. You didnt't have a choice and now you're stuck in the same religion as your environment..... Such a coincidence.
Georgina Jebali that’s what I thought too, every nown again she dropped in a smile, so lovely. U can definitely tell to with her words and her tone she was lovely towards others x
This Dr used to have a brilliant TV series called 'make your child brilliant'. She also wrote a few books. Such a genius - so sorry this happened to her
This is exactly what happened to my sister. I advise all woman I met to get 2nd opinions and keep getting them until you are satisfied no stone is left unturned. Misdiagnosis the biggest killer of all
What an amazing woman. I could not stop watching and being furious that the fools in the medical prof that think they know it all were the cause of this remarkable gentle soul sad losing this battle. She will be dearly missed and the world is all the poorer for her not being with us. Such a shame in so many ways. God bless her. I will always share this lady's story as she wishes.
Unfortunately she did everything wrong. Way too wrong way too late. Always listen to your bodyvand your gut. When you feel tired for longer time, go to doctor. When you have growths in your womb, go to doctor, if he says its nothing go to another one. You have to take care of yourself, nobody else will☝☝☝
@@miriamchalmovianska863 I’m not going to argue with you, but saying she did “everything wrong” is really incorrect and disrespectful. I encourage you to actually listen to her story, look at her healthy lifestyle, the excuses she was given by doctors, and then refrain from being this woefully ignorant in the future.
@@miriamchalmovianska863 Bernadette did not do anything "wrong." The doctors with whom she consulted (the earlier ones) are at fault here; they gave her the typical response and said that she had dysfunctional uterine bleeding and needed hormone-replacement therapy. The one who clearly felt the growths and then "scraped" her anyway should lose his license to practice medicine. She tried her best to get help, and being a doctor herself, she probably thought those gynecologists knew what they were doing. This just shows us that anyone - even doctors - can get caught in a web of medical negligence. Doctors need to truly listen to their patients, ask more questions, and stop giving "textbook" answers that are simple. But yes, you are right about listening to our bodies and if we feel that something is wrong, then we should continue to pursue it. However, it is difficult to continue to switch doctors, especially here in the U.S. Specialists like gynecologists usually have a waiting list of patients for three months, and then there are all the insurance issues.
A moving account, of misdiagnosis, incompetence, and just sheer unprofessionalism, on a disease that could have so easily been spotted at an earlier stage, and with the right treatment, might well have saved this very brave lady's life. If there is one thing I've taken from this is never to go against my own instincts if I feel my health concerns are not getting taken seriously enough, and that doctors are not gods, that never make mistakes or miss something that is staring them in the face. My profound gratitude to the memory of this very gracious and caring woman.
I’ve been complaining a lot about very very dumb things. After watching this I feel I’ve taken things for granted. Watching this made me realize how blessed we are just by having good health. This woman deserved to live a thousand lives. 💜
Oh my! How sad! This poor woman. I'm an endometrial cancer survivor, stage 1A, Grade 2. I told my OB/GYN 3 months before I was officially diagnosed that I had cancer and she told me I was nuts till after a D & C confirmed the cancer. When I told her this it was also a month before my post menopausal bleeding began. I knew because I was starting to get PMS symptoms such as pains in my abdomen, moodiness, crying etc. I was getting the symptoms that I use to get when I was having periods and since I stopped my periods 2 years before this new PMS I knew something was not right a whole month before the irregular bleeding started. I have been cancer free (Thank God) since my surgery 1/12/2011. May this woman RIP and may any woman who feels anything weird, please see your doctor ASAP. God Bless everyone.
@@lisaeischens2352 I am not the OP, but I can tell you what happened with me, a month after diagnosis I had my uterus and ovaries removed by robotic surgery, I was in the hospital for only one night, the surgery and the aftermath were not painful (I did come home with pain relievers but they were only necessary for a few days,) full recovery took about 6 weeks, and then I felt fine.
teresa hicks You will see your beautiful brave niece again... she is in Heaven. Don’t give up in that hope because Heaven is totally real, & our Eternal Home for Eternity with JESUS. U know that you are grieving your deep loss of Dr Bernadette, she suffered terribly. My sympathies to you & all those who are grieving this beautiful woman. It’s absolutely devastating that because of the original Doctors very bad misdiagnosis her life was cut short. She’s was & is an inspiration. Sincerely hoping that many are saved from suffering as Dr Bernadette did. God Bless & Comfort you in your heartbreaking loss. She was Such a gentle Lady, her bravery will encourage women not to ignore the first signs of this terrible disease.
I have to think anyone who would “thumbs down” this video is well intentioned but simply doesn’t understand social media and how likes work. To new people it could feel strange and counterintuitive to give a big ol cheerful like to a woman dying of cancer. I have to think they are doing it to empathize with this woman in that way one might say I’m so sorry this is terrible - and validate that her situation is horrific. But yes they shouldn’t do it. Hopefully these people figure it out. Prayers for this beautiful brave woman.
patricia p very well said, It was a very hard video to watch as it made me desperately sad for this lovely lady but her bravery in doing this video is outstanding. I pray that she finds peace and I pray that by doing this video my lives are saved.much love to you Patricia x
@@MB-tb5vt "This is what socilaized medicine looks like". Yes. Vastly superior to for-profit medicine, where greedy shareholders profit from the illness of others.
This is very upsetting. She didn't deserve to die because of a doctor's misdiagnosis. I wish you a very well rest. No more pain and no more medicine. You have earned your wings.
I worked for a gynecologist for a few years and every Thursday we did hysteroscopies IN OUR OFFICE because this is something he felt very strongly about and so he invested in a scope. Yes it's not pleasant but it is very worth it. I don't know of any other doctors doing them in the office but you can still have it done in the hospital. It involves passing the scope through the cervix and having a good look at the inside of the uterus and vagina and is a quick procedure that will give you immediate answers. We diagnosed everything from cancer to fibroids etc and always did a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. But let me be clear, I am not a doctor and it has been a few years since I worked with him so there may be different procedures and tests that are new or more effective so please do your research and advocate for yourself or loved one if experiencing abnormal bleeding or experiencing symptoms that are new or different. I am mortified that this intelligent, caring and beautiful woman had to suffer and die such a painful, long death. Let's honor her by taking care of ourselves and loved ones and pass her story on to as many women possible. Hopefully she is in heaven content in the knowledge that she did her best to help her fellow woman in the midst of her horrible suffering. Let her see less and less woman joining her too soon.
I had a hysterectomy but left my ovaries. I had hyperplasia with endometriosis. My doctor gave me 6 months to decide then he said he would take it out. He said I would have cancer within a year. I had my surgery done in 3 months. I was 41. I'm so glad.
I hope he didn't leave an ovary so that you could have a normal menopause like my did. If so, get checked out and do so every year. You could still end up with cancer, or tumors.
Always, always get a second opinion. I had a young locum tell me that I was eating too much curry when I presented with a sore throat that had been occurring for six weeks. Unbelievable. I went to another doctor as I was not happy with this diagnosis. I was sent for blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy and was diagnosed with acute myeloma leukaemia (AML). I am now 8 years in remission. If I had listened to that young inexperienced locum, I would have been dead now for nearly 9 years.
Samantha McGill likely you would get 10 opinions & they will all be wrong. The problem with the medical industry is that they think they go to uni for a few years & know your body better than your own intuition & your own psychic ability

It’s so sweet that she did this for us women. She has so much love for everyone it’s amazing. I know from watching my son in hospice that he was so weak he couldn’t speak unless he saved up all his strength and then he could barely be heard above a very soft whisper and it tired him out so quickly that it was very frustrating for him. I know this must have been a big struggle but she was so motivated to help other women out there and I’m very thankful for what she has done, but also very sorry she had to suffer.
Rest in heaven sweetheart. Fly high because you have earned yur wings. I’m sorry no one listened to you sooner. I thank u from the bottom of my heart that you cane here despite of what you were going through to warn women out there. I love u beautiful angel 😇 😘😢
Thank you Bernadette for sharing your heartbreaking story, such an inspirational woman, so selfless and strong beyond belief. Bernadette’s story will raise awareness and save so many women, it’s so important to be able to question what a doctor tells you and not accept everything they say as correct. God rest her gentle soul.
As soon as I began to watch her tell her story I felt this overwhelming feeling of empathy towards her and started to cry in silence, thinking that life is not fair, that women like her shouldnt have to suffer so much pain... Wherever Bernadette is at the moment, I really hope she is very happy!
Oh my I burst out into tears at the last part of this video, I felt like she was speaking to me, I hope she is at peace. The world lost an amazing woman.
It would have been Bernadette's 52nd Birthday today. I have sent birthday messages to Bernadette every year since I have known her in 2009 but for the past few years she has not responded. I had thought her work has kept her too busy. Today I thought I may have emailed her to an inactive email of hers so I searched her name only to find out this sad sad news... This world has lost once of it's best woman but at least Heaven has gained another Angel. I and my family are deeply saddened. Bernadette helped me through a very difficult period and I cannot thank her enough.... You will always be remembered for all the good you have done in this world and Christopher and I will remember you, ALWAYS!
Mrs Maria How very sad, what a beautiful soul I am in tears for the pain and suffering of her. So sad she passed and I am so very sorry this earth lost such a beautiful soul😭 May her soul be with the angels and at peace🕊
Mrs Maria Thank you for expressing your love for Bernadette.l can imagine once you found she had died that you was heartbroken. How true your words are that this world has lost one of its best women,indeed it has. To suffer in the way she did it’s too painful to comprehend. How special and beautiful that you had the chance to meet her,know her. Yes she at least is now safe in heaven with God ,and reunited with her beautiful Mother and Dad God bless you and your family Mrs Maria Rose Zion
@@jeripruneda3293 Hello Jeri, Yes Bernadette is definitely with the Angels and the good Lord Its very heartbreaking that she suffered so much, and yet it could all have been prevented Wherever and whoever Bernadette met she left a beautiful memory, She suffered such a lot that people would never have guessed her smile lit up a room and her charisma was great to be around She missed her Mother for the past 13 years, who sadly died in an accident and she loved her Dad But both of them never recovered form their major loss- Bernadette had a natural empathy even though she always looked like life had given her a wonderful pack of cards..no, She had her fair share of real pain but never showed this instead she used her pain by giving love to others Bernadette and her Mother and Dd are safe now in heaven, The three of them believed in God and I am so happy to know this
So very upsetting that, due to the incompetence of a few oncologists, this intelligent, beautiful, + patient soul went through unnecessary pain + ravages of an end stage disease + died. Not only did her patient’s lose their capable physician but her close, + extended, family members + friends lost a very caring + thoughtful person. I offer my condolences to the family + friends of Dr. Bernadette Tynan. R.I.P💐
Oh what a waste of a truely wonderful soul. She being in medicine herself and they didn't take her seriously. What hope do the rest of us have. I believe what she says, the male Dr's don't take women seriously enough. We all know women put up with much worse than men. We are in every way except
brute strenght, stronger than men. Why the hell don't they take us seriously? I have other health concerns that are life changing, not deadly that I know of, but I along with many others, that happen to be mostly women. Are ignored, told we are physically fine, offered antidepressants by the bucket
load, have specialists tell us one thing in their rooms and something different goes into reports to our GP's. What hope have we got. Way too many women I have known and loved dead at the hands of negligent Dr's. I am so sick of it. The Pill too what are they doing to us, is it because we are
disposable ? Do they want us to live the lives of women in the 50's ? Barefoot, pregnant and powerless ? Those that don't choose that life are poisioned, slowly but surely. I am so glad that my body knew better than I did that that stuff is poisoning it. My body made me listen to it. I had no
choice in the matter. Thank you body. I am so glad I watched this, because of my other conditions I would have no idea if I had the symptoms this dear sweet lady told us about. My other conditions give me all of them except the growths she spoke of. I was told I had something in my Uterus but
We would like to thank everyone for the very kind comments and warm condolences they have expressed here. Bernadette would be very pleased that her video has reached so many people and hopefully is having a positive impact. At her request, we have set-up a memorial fund for Bernadette, to raise money for a series of Well-being events, aimed also to highlight hidden early signs, for cancer sufferers and carers. To be run by not-for-profit social enterprise Cracking Good Food. If you would like to donate, please visit www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/crackinggoodfood Thank you.
I am saddened to hear of Bernadettes passing. May her strength continue to touch other people. I am awaiting tests. it was this video that prompted me to seek help.
Manchester PsychMed great video that will help others..I loss my mom Dec 7 2016 from cancer and it has a really rough road but I caused me to go get my first mammogram and next getting pap smear abd trying to get healthy...cancer awareness can save lives.. my mom had adenocarcinoma...I never heard of it until she had.
She mentions a "silver bullet" that was found in her womb. Was this a uterine polyp? Or what was it? Recently diagnosed with a uterine polyp & doctor wants to do a D & C (scrape out the lining of my womb) to remove. After watching this video I am worried if my polyp is cancerous a D & C could aggressively spread cancer.
Dr. Bernadette, you have passed on, but I still need to say " thank you" for creating this video despite being so overwhelmed and tired. I thank God for your life. You are truly and inspiration to us all. I have had gynaecological issues my whole life. I will definitely assess myself differently now. Love and hugs ❤
RIP: What a courageous woman in her hour of need she is helping others on how to avoid being misdiagnosed with cancer, it’s the Doctors who need to be held accountable for their incompetency with further training or struck off the medical register for professional incompetence?
In USA we call them "practitioners" because all they're doing is practicing on us Guinee pigs. All Drs know is to send stuff to the lab and say what its not. Not until stage 4 do they catch it.
😭😭😭😭 Rest in Paradise. What a sad shame how this poor sweet soul was completely misdiagnosed at the hands of inconsiderate, incompetent doctors. Angers me deeply.
It's a testament to the kind of person Bernadette is that even in such a circumstance she think's of other's and wishes to help. Yes, I said "is" because such people will live on as all such wonderful people do.
I wish I’d seen this video years ago. My sister sadly passed away a few months ago and was not diagnosed until it was to late and she was suffering from kidney failure due the spread of the cancer. She pretty much had all the symptoms this poor lady described, but in themselves they seemed innocuous until it was to late and the month before she passed was treated for oedema due to fluid seeping from her abdomen, still no cancer diagnosis. Rest in peace you brave lady.
I am so sorry, I am on my way there now, I know I have multiple cancers but can't get a diagnosis, more pain by the day. I know I am dying but don't have support because no one believes me.
Wow what a beautiful, brave, eloquent and intelligent woman. I am so glad I watched this insightful and meaningful video and so grateful you were able to share your story to the world. RIP xxx
There are many people who will dislike a video depending on how it made them feel, so if the content upsets them, they will select the thumbs down option. Shouldn't be the case, but not everyone thinks the same way.
This was informative, beautiful and sad all at once. This brilliant woman was in so much pain, yet still wanted to help others before she died. Everything was just so raw and unselfish. I pray that people are saved from this video, and that she Rest In Peace.❤️
She is i made appointment tommorow to talk about getting an biopsy done because i have pcos and it took over 3yrs before i can get an answer about that because the doctors didnt know what to look for so with or with out signs which i am sure i had them mistake them for something else i dont want anymore surprises popping up since i am at a high risk for it and i am only 24.
She was failed on so many levels, I am absolutely furious that her symptoms were ignored until it was too late. Bless this lovely lady and Doctor, I hope her soul is at peace now.
This poor woman has suffered terribly, having been a victim of a catalogue of mistakes. Such a brave woman to share what she has learned through this horrible process, in order to prevent this happening to someone else. RIP beautiful soul!
Brave, so very brave. So emotional to watch because she was a beautiful intelligent woman who was terribly misdiagnosed . Heartbreaking because doctors failed to do their job properly. She has taught us a lot in this video. I bet she has saved many lives because she was so brave to do this. Hope the doctors who misdiagnosed her are watching this and see what they have done, they destroyed a life of a gentle caring intelligent beautiful lady.
Bernadettes father was my cousin..we were brought up together ..we lost touch with each other when they went to live in France then I saw this video ..heartbreaking I had no idea ..even though she was so ill she still looked as beautiful to me ..she was the imagine of her mother an Irish beauty ..God bless you Bernadette and what a final gift you left us ..love Julie xx
This woman was a real warrior. I’m a nurse and a patient and I am so tired of all the physician incompetence with women’s medical health care. I hope she sued the living crap out of those doctors before she got sick and passed away. Just to get their attention. Sometimes the only thing that gets their attention is finances.
I am returning after watching this a few years ago, because this showed back up in my recommended. This video touched me, and I think of this woman from time to time since viewing. I pray for God's blessings on everyone whom this video has touched, and those it has yet to reach.
What a beautiful lady. Her strength and compassion radiates through her. There are some things that cancer can not steal. I’m so grateful for the valuable information she shared as I am just starting my journey with this cancer. What a selfless thing to do in a time of so much suffering.
There is a promise by our Creator in Isaiah 33:24: "And no resident will say I am sick...." I personally look forward to that time, not only for this beautiful and courageous woman that reminds me of my mom (whose cancer started in the gallblader) but for everybody who suffers. To be healthy and young again in beautiful surroundings,in our own home planet earth, transformed into a paradise again! That's something no government can offer you. Only our maker. Jehovah is his name, by means of His kingdom with His son Jesus as king. That hope keeps me in a good mood and to share it makes me happy
Aaah Jeebus. As an Irishman I just want to hug you non stop. Your bravery knows no bounds. Yes, I am going to say a prayer. I think you're in God's hands now. He wants you back.
I often come and watch this video. It’s soothing to listen to this intelligent and beautiful lady talk and yet painful because she tells all out of her bad experience. My heart breaks when she tearfully wishes well to all women. Wish she had a chance to live longer; this awful world needs more people like she was. Rest in peace beautiful angel. Rest in peace Dr Bernadette 💔
docs need to go back to school! Then again it isn't normal to bleed out a whole organ....if I was a doc and a patient told me she bled so much that it was like a miscarriage I'd sent her in for tests asap... I hate to say it but the docs were responsible here...
I honestly felt, much of the time, that the oncologists while I went through breast cancer (seemed to be a revolving door of them in my case) never looked at my chart before they cam into the room... very frustrating when the first thing out of their mouth contradicts my chart.
She apparently felt so sick but still found strength to help others by sharing her story. What a shame that doctor's screwed her up and what a pity that she is not with us anymore. Rest on peace, Angel
To see yourself wasting away and know there's nothing you can do. Cancer patients literally die of starvation and she explains it very well. She gives such good suggestions and I thank her for that. May she rest in peace
I am 55 yrs old. Just yesterday after 3+ yrs of not having a period, one came. I am here because of that. If this woman is not yet passed, I wish her pleasant dreams and thank you for your advice.
Every once in a while I come here and watch her. I cry every time; this lady was simply a great person. It’s sad she is gone, she had so many plans, she made many kids stand out. I believe she is missed a lot by those that knew her. Rest In Peace beautiful lady 💔
So... The first physician failed to detect the actual tumor hanging out of her uterus, then scrapes the uterine lining sending the cancerous cells throughout her entire body, then the physicians misdagnose the metastases and also deny her a lifesaving hysterectomy, and then they misplace the radiation beam and burn her stomach so she can't digest any food anymore? And I'm not even half way through the video. Can't put into words how furious I am.
But the "vaccine" is safe... Experts!
@@shin-ishikiri-no this video is not about the covid vaccine. This woman spent her final moments in life to help prevent what happened to her to ever happen to anybody else again. This is no place for your covid conspiracies. Disrespectful.
@@archaenthus I can comment whatever I need to, whenever I want. I am spreading awareness for people to think for themselves. You are doing nothing but following invisible rules that don't even exist. I said nothing to disrespect this person. Your imagination is strong.
@@shin-ishikiri-no In a way you are disrespectful to her and her message. You're trying to draw attention away from her story to spread conspiracies that have zero relevancy to this video nor to her message. Spread them elsewhere, or better yet, don't. Also, just because you can do something doesn't mean it's necessarily something you should do. Some things are better kept to oneself.
@@archaenthus absolutely
This woman deserves a Nobel peace prize.The total strenght she shows and selflessmess for sharing this to the world while being so unwell .God has a special place for her in heaven.A TRUE ANGEL 😇
Marie Blackmore I could not agree more!
Trece Caine Thankyou we need more like her here in this planet .It is a shame she has passed ;(
Marie Blackmore yes!
Is there anything that van be done to make it happen i am not sure if i can do anything as i am from Canada .If you know anything that i can si olease let me know please
Marie Blackmore i can see she is strong but did god tell u He has a special place for this lady?hmm
Watched this till the end. I'm a 62 year old man, and I'll never get this cancer, but I felt it was the very least I could do to listen to her story. No words can express what a beautiful soul she had. God bless her, and shame on the doctors who failed her.
Thankyou so much for that. 👍
It is good to hear from men who listen and care for “women’s issues”, which are, of course, everyone’s issues in scope. Thank you for your heart x
@@beekneed That's really so kind of you ...thank you x
At age 28 I had the same cancer. I had a normal menstrual cycle in June, and then a week later I started bleeding again. It did not stop until I had a hysterectomy at the end of November. My first doctor who treated me just didn't seem to take my complaints seriously. I was growing weaker by the day and he said I needed a DNC, which is the scraping of the uterus. I told him that I believed I had cancer and he laughed at me. He said he loved people who diagnosed themselves. I left his office that day and made an appointment with another doctor. I saw him the next week and he did biopsies. As soon as the results came in he called me and said the results were not good and scheduled me with the head of oncology at a hospital 50 miles from my home. He told me to pack a bag because I would not be coming home anytime soon. I saw the oncologist and he admitted me that day. I had to have blood transfusions before I could have surgery. I had two surgeries in three days and three weeks later I went home. I was so thankful for the second doctor for listening to me and acting quickly. He as well as the Oncologist saved my life. Please listen to this lady. This cancer is curable if caught before it spreads outside the uterus. You are your best advocate so get that second opinion.
Sandra Reading your story was so frightening when you said the first doctor wanted to do the uterine scraping. Thank goodness you got another opinion. The medical mistakes in this lady’s treatment were horrifying. Mistake after mistake after mistake. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did but thank goodness you got other opinions. Do you mind if I ask how long ago that was? I have to wonder if she might have been able to be saved if 1) they didn’t give her hormone replacement therapy, which was adding fuel to the fire, and 2) they didn’t do the uterine scraping which instantly spread the previously contained cancer around her entire body, and 3) the likely incorrect placement of the radiation beam. I know there were more mistakes that she discussed but there were so many that it’s hard to keep track. It’s atrocious that the first doctor laughed at you and sarcastically said he loved people who diagnosed themselves, if you listened to him your cancer would have spread. You didn’t attend medical school but you were right! I shudder to think how many people die unnecessarily because of doctor’s mistakes.
@VeganLife-mn1jp This was 41 years ago. I am just turned 69 years old in March. What happened to this lady is the reason I shared my story. We were both young to have this type of cancer, which is one reason our doctors didn't take it seriously. Usually, older women around menopause develop it. I was treated with hormone therapy by my first doctor. It only made it worse. The Oncologist told me that you never treat this cancer with hormones. He also said a DNC would have spread it throughout my body. This sweet lady didn't have to suffer and die like this. The more people who become aware of this type of cancer and the proper treatment, the more lives will be saved. Ladies need to know that it can happen to them at a young age, and if you are having prolonged problems with your menstrual cycle seek help. Ask questions and get second opinions.
Drs infuriate me. They’ve been telling me for over 20 years that everything is is my head. Now, in my 20’s I’m diagnosed with several chronic diseases and now I’m feeling worse and very very tired. Not sure what’s wrong now. Point is, I’ve experienced firsthand drs shrugging me off as a headcase, laughing at me when I’m concerned with what I might have. This poor woman, it breaks my heart. She was so strong.
"My first doctor who treated me just didn't seem to take my complaints seriously." Why does this seem to happen so often? Another gal had lung cancer as a non smoker and it took a second doctor to order an x-ray and CT scan to finally be diagnosed all the while precious time was ticking away. Oh and did you ever go back to the first doctor and shove it in his face? I would have.
@Mustang-bj5pe I didn't go back to the first doctor. My last visit with him was very stressful, and nothing I could say to him would have affected his attitude. Sometimes, you just have to be grateful for the second chance of life you have been given and move on. We lived in a fairly small town and word got around about the way he treated his patients. He moved his practicen after a couple years. I just prayed that he didn't harm anyone else.
I am extremely fortunate - my mum had Endometrial Cancer and her GP was really on the ball. He had her tested for a couple of weeks and within a month mum was in hospital having a radical hysterectomy. They caught it early and mum has been cancer free for the last 15 yrs. She didn't require any further treatment. She's now a healthy 86yr old
It is so rare for a Doctor to be so compassionate,she was truly blessed to have that one.....I heard years back that Doctors were taught to hold their feelings back with patients and not to be compassionate or caring in any way...just do their job as quickly in and out as possible.......and you as the patient CAN see and feel IF this Dr. Is a caring person or not for yourselves with the vibes you get from them....if not,it would pay to get another DR....
❤
Kirsten Noble so she had it at over 70 ? I thought it couldn’t happen in women so much after menopause .
@@salvolondon Yes she was in her 70's. The specialist she saw said that she had 2 high risk contributing factors. Firstly she was on a type of HRT that is no longer used as there were side effects that weren't known at the time ( this was the early 1980's) and also she hadn't given birth - I'm adopted. Evidently this put her in a higher risk. Not sure if this is still the thinking but it certainly was when she was diagnosed. Also we're in Australia so thinking could be different for different countries. The main symptom for her was she started spotting every month.Technically she didn't go through menopause as she was on HRT very early on and never went through a so called natural menopause. So the spotting was a huge indicator something was wrong.
Salvo Smith my mother was diagnosed at the age of 71, never had any hormone therapy. The cancer returned after four years and she is undergoing chemotherapy and as it presented in her colon, she has an ileostomy.
She’s a doctor herself. A life wasted on misdiagnosed too busy doctors who saw her. A warrior in her own right. Her life story deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and ANY Humanitarian Award for peace, bravery and love. Rest now.
How a doctor could not prevented this? If im sick i go to private doctors. I do anything.
There's a lot of medical bias towards women(of colour even more) in healthcare, especially surrounding the reproductive system. Most is probably not deliberate on the doctors part, but a lot of serious conditions get dismissed repeatedly before finally being diagnosed. It's too bad that this woman could have had a better outcome if the cancer had been caught earlier
She has a doctorate ie a PhD in a non-medical subject. She states this whilst talking
Rest in Grace beautiful lady
She has a doctorate, but not in a scientific subject. She got herself extremely mixed up. I think she must have had ovarian cancer, not endometrial cancer. A D&C is a very thorough test for endometrial cancer, and this was performed on her. It is more thorough than a simple endometrial biopsy, which takes only a little piece of tissue, and could miss the cancer. A D&C checks the entire endometrium for cancer.
She put on makeup, makes an effort, and soldiers on. What an inspiration! And she still glows, and has gratitude. So much grace, so much dignity. God bless her.
I agree
I expect someone did her make-up. She was an intelligent woman who tried to hold on as long as she could. I would have stopped that, long before she did. That is my view on these terminal conditions. They don't get better and since we do not have legal euthanasia, some of us have to endure the debilitation and misery that comes with the diagnosis. That is when we take the issue into our own hands. We always have that option and that choice. It will not come from the medical community. Just moving on.
Yes, unbelievable. So sad....
She's brave she can explain effortlessly about cancer despite.feeling pain
In the State of Oregon,
physician assisted euthanasia was recently legalised.
It obviously took a lot of effort and energy for her to make this video, yet she bravely carried on until she made all her points.
It was obviously important for her to leave a warning and overview of her experience as a cautionary tale perhaps.
This evidently was her legacy.
I suspect she let go and transitioned shortly after this was finished.
Bernadette is missed so much. It so sad that our beautiful niece had to die before us. She would be 55 if still alive. She did so much in her life and still had more plans to do. God lover her. If only our lives had been different. 💕💕💕💖💖💖💖X
What sort of doctor was she? Did she have a PhD in something?.she was obviously very intelligent....
💖
My prayers to you and your loved ones for the loss of your dear n i e c e Bernadette. She looks like she was an amazing thoughtful giving woman. My heart was breaking listening to her tribulations and all of the issues that she had to face due to all of the misdiagnosis of her condition. The whole time I was thinking that she made a full recovery and didn't know the outcome until I read the comments. Again sending you and your loved ones my heartfelt condolences for the loss of this beautiful loving woman.
@@mollyhorse I found a video on UA-cam with her in called Brain training badly behaving children-Make your child brilliant..Episode 1.
Hi, I am sitting in a severe level lockdown in NZ and stumbled across this video of your niece...can you tell me if Bernadette had suffered from endometriosis before her cancer was diagnosed ? Thanks in advance
The world lost a beautiful,graceful,intelligent soul....rip lovely lady
What a angel so ill and helping others listening and being more aware of what she is telling you
When did she pass god bless Angel xx
Bernadette died in August 2017 days after making this film.🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Lynn Jones. It really helps when there are people like you who say such lovely things. Bernadette is a great loss to us and to many others. She actually made a 6 series on TV channel 5. It was called How to make your child brilliant. You can see it on UA-cam, and to see her on that, you would never think she would ever get cancer. So try to watch it, it's really good, once again thanks for your kind words🌈🙏💖
People with thumbs down don't realise they will get cancer 2 is usually 1 out of 2 to believe you me those people with thumbs down going do it go in thumbs down because your time is Gonna Come brother or sister in you remember me Stevie the window cleaner that's my name because when you do get that cancer which I know you don't you remember Me Stevie the window cleaner
My dear friends those thumbs down on this woman because she's got cancer let me tell you is ladies cancer disease will soon be your disease you remember me Stevie the window cleaner when you have got this disease 1 out of 2 will get this cancer I have never never understood you humans when it is my time to go go I'm going to say thank you get me out of this evil world
Even though the cancer has made her so tiny and frail she is still very beautiful I could only imagine her
in her healthier years yet she is smiling through it all and trying to help others what an outstanding woman
I was thinking the same thing. What a beautiful, intelligent and graceful woman. ♥🙏🏻♥
go to her website and you will see pictures, and videos of her.
I thought exactly the same, absolutely stunningly beautiful woman with a beaming smile.
Stunning
Very true shz so brave and beautiful 😻
Medical negligence is terrifying. The mistakes that could have been avoided. What a strong courageous woman. RIP.
wtf does that mean
So many mistakes made in her history. What I don't understand is that in order to find abnormal cells, a biopsy would be necessary (or a scraping as she had). Or is a hysterectomy a first step? There's lots of discussion about how there are too many needless hysterectomies (not in her case of course).
@Jon Jackson It's done like this: respect, listen to and validate your patients. Had doctors done that for me it wouldn't have taken me 7 years to get the diagnosis and surgery I needed. I knew the exact illness I had before they did.
It takes someone ignorant to assume educated people can never make mistakes. Even for my degree, I'm aware clinicians can misdiagnose or mistreat clients, and I will always remember to treat mine as an equal, not as intellectually inferior or hysterical off the bat.
This lady's death was entirely avoidable, and it reflects a systemic problem in the world of medicine.
@@furosh118 i dont think the first doctor did a biopsy at all (thus what she meant by "cover up"). even if it was, she wasnt informed until she/second doctor asked for em. The scraping for pap smear isnt a scraping of the womb as a whole either. so even if it did loosen the cancer, it shouldnt have done so too much.
As she mentioned, it shouldnt have even gotten that far. Her cervix seems to have shown signs of abnormality that should have indicated the potential for cancer. But was ignored by the first doctor and assumed she just needed scraping. I dont know if she just didnt mention if they tried to do a biopsy then or any other tests, but i assume they didnt. Or didnt have to since a week later the cancer was already all over the place.
Two doctors at the hospital, they truly should have gone on further with me, these last few weeks... The PA I seen at the emergency in between these “ doctors “, he knew... they should have caught a lot, they haven’t. Especially when when cancer is high in my family, including two of my children. She is such my hero, I’m sharing her story with my gastroenterologist, he , and his staff have been so incredible. I can’t eat now, I’m starving feeling always. I’m also getting aloud of a holistic doctor. She’s absolutely does need, deserve an award above a noble prize.
What an incredible woman. Even in her last days, in all her pain, she still dedicated her time to spread awareness to other women. May she rest in peace 🙏 ❤ ❤
How is it possible to love someone after 25 minutes? God Bless her sweet soul.
Can I tell u Jesus told us the world love each other as I’ve loved u so it’s bired in us
@@caroldavis9852 Which scripture is that?
Jesus would NEVER EVER tell his children such nonsense. In fact scripture tells us:
John 15:19 KJV
[19] IF ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because YE ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
1 John 2:15 KJV
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Jesus commands His children to love one ANOTHER as He has loved us.
John 13:34-35 KJV
[34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
[35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Easy to see she was a very beautiful woman
I can't believe she was misdiagnosed so many times. My heart cries for her.
Patty Souza I agree with you, damn shame on them, 😑 And this woman she WAS a Doctor, so she had a HUGE knowledge in medicin. The hospital staff usually have much MORE respect 4 patient that are high educated, & usually treat them better! So it is very strange that this poor woman was so bad treated 🤦♀️😔
That is absolutly crazy!!! No forgiveness for that doctor! There are so many ways of analysis that can detect cancer at early stage and none of that doctors did it!
A lot of drs just don’t pay enough attention. We know our bodies! And they need to listen more
It happens all the time. My wife went to the doctor for three years complaining of a swollen abdomen and gastric problems and on a scan they saw fluid in the abdomen but said it was nothing and gave her tablets to dry it up. She died two and half years ago from gallbladder cancer that had spread to her liver, bowel, lungs and other parts her body. She was a beautiful quiet lovely person that I will miss till the day I die. Not only did they end her life they wrecked mine to. Doctors and nurses like to put themselves on a pedestal that most don't deserve.

Sorry for your loss. Your daughter is a beautiful soul.
I worked as a gynecologist nurse for years. ANY abnormal bleeding in perimenopausal or menopausal should have an endometrial biopsy. Very simple and diagnosed easily. If one would be positive a total hysterectomy is cure in early stages. I've never heard of leaving the uterus there. (I live in America ) this cancer is very curable with early intervention. Such a shame... she is so dignified, bless her. RIP sweet lady.
Christine Miller please help me- my mom is 52 & had a 23mm lining w/cysts & super heavy bleeding so they did a d&c. Now this lady says that's the worst thing to do. Should she revisit someone else??
@@ellabistro8246 it's can be only possibly bad if it was cancer ? What was the diagnosis? They should have a pathology report showing if it was cancer. If it is benign...just may not need anything else done but follow ups.

@@jennyvega-lopez8585 So sorry. I hope you find some relief soon. 😍
I am so angry at the fact they denied her a hysterectomy and that her doctor lacked the knowledge/skills to identify what was wrong with her. Her doctor caused her unnecessary pain and ultimately killed her.
Cannot understand why he didn't perform a hysterectomy at the patient's request. For a patient at the end of her childbearing years.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 they don’t do expensive procedures on the nhs unless they haveeeeeee tooo
The doctor didn't kill her. That's ridiculous.
I'm sure a qualified doctor isn't am idiot like you appear to suggest.
The more likely course of events is that such cancers are incredibly difficult to detect, and the doctor went through a checklist of medical issues which you and I have absolutely no knowledge of, yet you're quick enough to throw all your eggs in one basket and basically call the doctor a fucking clown...
Shameful.

Heartbreaking. Had tears rolling down my eyes watching and listning to her 😪.
Me too, when she looked into the camera and spoke directley to us and wished us well....my eyes just filled up immediatley...what a strong willed, brave and determined lady to leave this message for people....plus you could tell she was struggling with pain and severe acid .... this is one video i will never forget and I am about to share it with as many people I know x
This lady should be made a Saint in heaven suffering so much yet taking the time to help others
Despite her losing so many weight, her natural beauty still shined through. She had so much life and willingness to live that it makes some of us that complain about things not going our way seem so small the fact that we are not having to worry about struggling to live.
This woman is just so amazing. I couldn't imagine how hard it must have been to record this. So thanks to the person who did. U too are also amazing 👏
Bernadette had so much to live for. She was forever coming up with different ideas. Thank you for your lovely words. I cannot believe it's almost 6 yrs in August since Bernadette died. She had a lot to put up with. She was always strong and positive. I am Bernadettes aunty her Mum was my sister, she tragically died 2003., and her dad died 4 mths before Bernadette. So how she could speak freely about her illness makes her having been very very brave. Missed so much.
Denise Hicks Very sad that her father passed four months before she did, so she had that sadness on top of her own illness. Perhaps it’s better for him if he didn’t have to bury his child but he must have known she was terminal. I’m sorry to hear you lost your sister, niece and brother in law.

You can see in her eyes how weak she is. Very loving of her to try to shield other woman from the awful suffering she endures...
My considerable internet research has finally paid off and recognized with extremely good facts to exchange with my friends and the world. Medical Doctors and Dermatologists said (HSV 1&2, Herpes zosters) do not have a medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells. it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn't an incurable virus! your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body, But with strong reactive herbal medication, it is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without any side effects, natural herbs kill the virus totally not just reducing the outbreaks. I just got my test result today after 7 days of using the herbal Medication and it came out Negative to both HSV 1&2.im so delighted I recommend this to anyone suffering from herpes virus. You can get natural Herbal Medication from Dr. Aloha contact him through his email: Alohaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +1(202)871-3222

@@soulovelee_2433 I think we are talking about 2 different weakness... at least I hope.. so for YOUR sake.
I’m just disgusted. Those doctors killed her. Incompetent fools. They missed huge red flags.
There are many good thing about doctors clearly but that out of the way,medical error is a leading cause of death here in America. I had an accident but did not injure my head.Frankly, had I done so I might now be dead. It is too long a story ( 4 surgeries) but caught errors all along the way Egregious ones in some cases. I had a lot of pain but refused narcotics etc.which they tried to push daily. Big pharma is aggressive here. I even refused a surgery which I know might be hard to believe but ended up saving portions of my leg by doing. The two things I would recommend is to STAY AWAKE if you can or try and have an advocate at all times if you are ever hospitalized.
Thank you Mari .
Doctors are good. Even though there are few bad nuts among them . I am becoming a doctor. Hoping to be a good one.
Yes, my doctors are the same Lemon. It’s sad
Absolutely they should be struck off the medical register. They killed that poor brave woman
Speaking from someone who lost their mother/best friend to breast cancer because of a doctor's error; doctors are not gods. They are HUMAN. They make mistakes just like anybody else. We've all made mistakes at a job at least once in our life if not more. We ask doctors to be more than human and they just can't be. It took me 4 years to stop blaming the doctor and put the blame where it surely belonged; the cancer.

RIP beautiful lady. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 2 years ago. Doctors told me there was a 99% chance it was cancer before they even ran any tests. I was sent to a specialist and fortunately it turned out to be stage 4 endometriosis. I had a full hysterectomy. God bless this wonderful woman.
Omg, God bless you! Can I ask what were your first symptoms?
I’ve been stage 4 endometriosis for a long while now. I’ve been refusing a hysterectomy because I wasn’t 40 and I was having a really hard time accepting that I could never get pregnant. I really had to unpack all of it. Now that I am 40 I have decided, it’s time. It’s getting harder and harder to manage..pain wise. Does the abdominal pain get better after hysterectomy?

Barbara D : I do not believe, but read too often that people 'pray'. Apparently it does nothing.....
This beautiful woman never ONCE mentioned about a god, so don't impose god onto others.
Yara, I am so very sad that you feel this way; I am praying that you come to know Jesus as your personal savior; Barbara D only is speaking truth. Peace be with you.
To Chachi925: isn't everyone speaking truth....??
When this woman died anytime ago, either she already is in heaven or she isn't. To pray weeks later she is in heaven is too late anyway. It's not that a prayer weeks later will let god open his frontdoor afterall. When you pray this woman is in heaven, means you ~doubt~ she could just the same has landed in hell?!? That's nice talking between the lines..... :-/
I'm so happy I do not have to live in fear for a hell, and live and act out of fear.
And I have also no doubt if she is in hell: it does not exist. I hope you really try to find demonstrable prove for your claims.
There's nothing but peace around here. No religeous-based war, no churches where they let me live in fear. I live on the planet Earth!
Nasa is looking for Earth-like planets. If they find one, is that planet within reach for your god and can he gets it as a new toy? Or will such a planet has his 'own' god? (spoiler-alert: neither!)
Yara L. Don't impose your sad and lack of beliefs on others. Jesus! You have a lot of things to say for someone who doesn't believe. I pity you.
To Trish Saint: "for someone who doesn't believe"? People who believe have more to say? No needs for pity, I live a life free of indoctrination. You didnt't have a choice and now you're stuck in the same religion as your environment..... Such a coincidence.

Unfortunately she did everything wrong. Way too wrong way too late. Always listen to your bodyvand your gut. When you feel tired for longer time, go to doctor. When you have growths in your womb, go to doctor, if he says its nothing go to another one. You have to take care of yourself, nobody else will☝☝☝
@@miriamchalmovianska863 I’m not going to argue with you, but saying she did “everything wrong” is really incorrect and disrespectful.

@@miriamchalmovianska863 She didn’t do everything wrong. Did you not listen?
@@miriamchalmovianska863 Who are you to judge, fool?
@@miriamchalmovianska863 Bernadette did not do anything "wrong." The doctors with whom she consulted (the earlier ones) are at fault here; they gave her the typical response and said that she had dysfunctional uterine bleeding and needed hormone-replacement therapy. The one who clearly felt the growths and then "scraped" her anyway should lose his license to practice medicine. She tried her best to get help, and being a doctor herself, she probably thought those gynecologists knew what they were doing. This just shows us that anyone - even doctors - can get caught in a web of medical negligence. Doctors need to truly listen to their patients, ask more questions, and stop giving "textbook" answers that are simple. But yes, you are right about listening to our bodies and if we feel that something is wrong, then we should continue to pursue it. However, it is difficult to continue to switch doctors, especially here in the U.S. Specialists like gynecologists usually have a waiting list of patients for three months, and then there are all the insurance issues.
A moving account, of misdiagnosis, incompetence, and just sheer unprofessionalism, on a disease that could have so easily been spotted at an earlier stage, and with the right treatment, might well have saved this very brave lady's life. If there is one thing I've taken from this is never to go against my own instincts if I feel my health concerns are not getting taken seriously enough, and that doctors are not gods, that never make mistakes or miss something that is staring them in the face. My profound gratitude to the memory of this very gracious and caring woman.
Lovely lady failed at every level xx
Ironically, she was a doctor. So sad... For the rest of us, even worse.
I’ve been complaining a lot about very very dumb things. After watching this I feel I’ve taken things for granted. Watching this made me realize how blessed we are just by having good health. This woman deserved to live a thousand lives. 💜
Oh my! How sad! This poor woman.
I'm an endometrial cancer survivor, stage 1A, Grade 2. I told my OB/GYN 3 months before I was officially diagnosed that I had cancer and she told me I was nuts till after a D & C confirmed the cancer. When I told her this it was also a month before my post menopausal bleeding began. I knew because I was starting to get PMS symptoms such as pains in my abdomen, moodiness, crying etc. I was getting the symptoms that I use to get when I was having periods and since I stopped my periods 2 years before this new PMS I knew something was not right a whole month before the irregular bleeding started.
I have been cancer free (Thank God) since my surgery 1/12/2011. May this woman RIP and may any woman who feels anything weird, please see your doctor ASAP. God Bless everyone.
🙏🏻💕
Everyone knows there own body not the doctor
Where is you gyn located?
What procedure did they do that found your cancer?
@@lisaeischens2352 I am not the OP, but I can tell you what happened with me, a month after diagnosis I had my uterus and ovaries removed by robotic surgery, I was in the hospital for only one night, the surgery and the aftermath were not painful (I did come home with pain relievers but they were only necessary for a few days,) full recovery took about 6 weeks, and then I felt fine.

I have to think anyone who would “thumbs down” this video is well intentioned but simply doesn’t understand social media and how likes work. To new people it could feel strange and counterintuitive to give a big ol cheerful like to a woman dying of cancer.

Hopefully these people figure it out. Prayers for this beautiful brave woman.

I worked for a gynecologist for a few years and every Thursday we did hysteroscopies IN OUR OFFICE because this is something he felt very strongly about and so he invested in a scope. Yes it's not pleasant but it is very worth it. I don't know of any other doctors doing them in the office but you can still have it done in the hospital. It involves passing the scope through the cervix and having a good look at the inside of the uterus and vagina and is a quick procedure that will give you immediate answers. We diagnosed everything from cancer to fibroids etc and always did a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. But let me be clear, I am not a doctor and it has been a few years since I worked with him so there may be different procedures and tests that are new or more effective so please do your research and advocate for yourself or loved one if experiencing abnormal bleeding or experiencing symptoms that are new or different. I am mortified that this intelligent, caring and beautiful woman had to suffer and die such a painful, long death. Let's honor her by taking care of ourselves and loved ones and pass her story on to as many women possible. Hopefully she is in heaven content in the knowledge that she did her best to help her fellow woman in the midst of her horrible suffering. Let her see less and less woman joining her too soon.
I had a hysterectomy but left my ovaries. I had hyperplasia with endometriosis. My doctor gave me 6 months to decide then he said he would take it out. He said I would have cancer within a year. I had my surgery done in 3 months. I was 41. I'm so glad.
Wonderful! Good doctor you had!
Very strange he could predict you would have cancer within a year.
I hope he didn't leave an ovary so that you could have a normal menopause like my did. If so, get checked out and do so every year. You could still end up with cancer, or tumors.
Always, always get a second opinion. I had a young locum tell me that I was eating too much curry when I presented with a sore throat that had been occurring for six weeks. Unbelievable. I went to another doctor as I was not happy with this diagnosis. I was sent for blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy and was diagnosed with acute myeloma leukaemia (AML). I am now 8 years in remission. If I had listened to that young inexperienced locum, I would have been dead now for nearly 9 years.
Samantha McGill likely you would get 10 opinions & they will all be wrong. The problem with the medical industry is that they think they go to uni for a few years & know your body better than your own intuition & your own psychic ability

I know from watching my son in hospice that he was so weak he couldn’t speak unless he saved up all his strength and then he could barely be heard above a very soft whisper and it tired him out so quickly that it was very frustrating for him. I know this must have been a big struggle but she was so motivated to help other women out there and I’m very thankful for what she has done, but also very sorry she had to suffer.
I’m very sincerely sorry you lost your child.
This should be included in every medical school. What a hero. Imagine finding this video in 2022
Rest in heaven sweetheart. Fly high because you have earned yur wings. I’m sorry no one listened to you sooner. I thank u from the bottom of my heart that you cane here despite of what you were going through to warn women out there. I love u beautiful angel 😇 😘😢
Thank you Bernadette for sharing your heartbreaking story, such an inspirational woman, so selfless and strong beyond belief. Bernadette’s story will raise awareness and save so many women, it’s so important to be able to question what a doctor tells you and not accept everything they say as correct. God rest her gentle soul.
As soon as I began to watch her tell her story I felt this overwhelming feeling of empathy towards her and started to cry in silence, thinking that life is not fair, that women like her shouldnt have to suffer so much pain... Wherever Bernadette is at the moment, I really hope she is very happy!
Me too im an EMPATH
Omg so sad poor lady .

@@fatimafermin1961 If I may ask what were first symptoms?
not in heaven , you dont drink alcohol in heaven with angels
Oh my I burst out into tears at the last part of this video, I felt like she was speaking to me, I hope she is at peace. The world lost an amazing woman.
What a brave, selfless human being fighting for everyone till the end.....A person who deserved the best in life....
It would have been Bernadette's 52nd Birthday today. I have sent birthday messages to Bernadette every year since I have known her in 2009 but for the past few years she has not responded. I had thought her work has kept her too busy. Today I thought I may have emailed her to an inactive email of hers so I searched her name only to find out this sad sad news... This world has lost once of it's best woman but at least Heaven has gained another Angel. I and my family are deeply saddened. Bernadette helped me through a very difficult period and I cannot thank her enough.... You will always be remembered for all the good you have done in this world and Christopher and I will remember you, ALWAYS!
Mrs Maria How very sad, what a beautiful soul I am in tears for the pain and suffering of her. So sad she passed and I am so very sorry this earth lost such a beautiful soul😭
May her soul be with the angels and at peace🕊
Mrs Maria
Thank you for expressing your love for Bernadette.l can imagine once you found she had died that you was heartbroken.
How true your words are that this world has lost one of its best women,indeed it has.
To suffer in the way she did it’s too painful to comprehend.
How special and beautiful that you had the chance to meet her,know her.
Yes she at least is now safe in heaven with God ,and reunited with her beautiful Mother and Dad
God bless you and your family Mrs Maria
Rose Zion
Thank you for letting us know... I just found this online. She is with the angels-
@@jeripruneda3293
Hello Jeri, Yes Bernadette is definitely with the Angels and the good Lord
Its very heartbreaking that she suffered so much, and yet it could all have been prevented
Wherever and whoever Bernadette met she left a beautiful memory, She suffered such a lot that people would never have guessed her smile lit up a room and her charisma was great to be around
She missed her Mother for the past 13 years, who sadly died in an accident and she loved her Dad
But both of them never recovered form their major loss- Bernadette had a natural empathy even though she always looked like life had given her a wonderful pack of cards..no, She had her fair share of real pain but never showed this instead she used her pain by giving love to others
Bernadette and her Mother and Dd are safe now in heaven, The three of them believed in God and I am so happy to know this
You must have been blessed to have known her. She seems like a beautiful soul. God bless her and may she rest in peace. Terribly sad 😔.
I really feel this should be shown nationally .
Everyone should watch this poignant film. This should be shown as a documentry xx
What a beautiful woman. The pain in her eyes at the end, knowing it was goodbye. Thank you for educating us! Xxxx
So very upsetting that, due to the incompetence of a few oncologists, this intelligent, beautiful, + patient soul went through unnecessary pain + ravages of an end stage disease + died.
Not only did her patient’s lose their capable physician but her close, + extended, family members + friends lost a very caring + thoughtful person.
I offer my condolences to the family + friends of
Dr. Bernadette Tynan. R.I.P💐
Oh what a waste of a truely wonderful soul. She being in medicine herself and they didn't take her seriously. What hope do the rest of us have. I believe what she says, the male Dr's don't take women seriously enough. We all know women put up with much worse than men. We are in every way except
brute strenght, stronger than men. Why the hell don't they take us seriously? I have other health concerns that are life changing, not deadly that I know of, but I along with many others, that happen to be mostly women. Are ignored, told we are physically fine, offered antidepressants by the bucket
load, have specialists tell us one thing in their rooms and something different goes into reports to our GP's. What hope have we got. Way too many women I have known and loved dead at the hands of negligent Dr's. I am so sick of it. The Pill too what are they doing to us, is it because we are
disposable ? Do they want us to live the lives of women in the 50's ? Barefoot, pregnant and powerless ? Those that don't choose that life are poisioned, slowly but surely. I am so glad that my body knew better than I did that that stuff is poisoning it. My body made me listen to it. I had no
choice in the matter. Thank you body. I am so glad I watched this, because of my other conditions I would have no idea if I had the symptoms this dear sweet lady told us about. My other conditions give me all of them except the growths she spoke of. I was told I had something in my Uterus but
Oh Bless her, she was so brave talking about her ordeal. :(
We would like to thank everyone for the very kind comments and warm condolences they have expressed here. Bernadette would be very pleased that her video has reached so many people and hopefully is having a positive impact. At her request, we have set-up a memorial fund for Bernadette, to raise money for a series of Well-being events, aimed also to highlight hidden early signs, for cancer sufferers and carers. To be run by not-for-profit social enterprise Cracking Good Food. If you would like to donate, please visit www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/crackinggoodfood
Thank you.
I am saddened to hear of Bernadettes passing. May her strength continue to touch other people. I am awaiting tests. it was this video that prompted me to seek help.
Manchester PsychMed great video that will help others..I loss my mom Dec 7 2016 from cancer and it has a really rough road but I caused me to go get my first mammogram and next getting pap smear abd trying to get healthy...cancer awareness can save lives.. my mom had adenocarcinoma...I never heard of it until she had.
She mentions a "silver bullet" that was found in her womb. Was this a uterine polyp? Or what was it? Recently diagnosed with a uterine polyp & doctor wants to do a D & C (scrape out the lining of my womb) to remove. After watching this video I am worried if my polyp is cancerous a D & C could aggressively spread cancer.
do you have this video in Spanish? It would be good to post in other languages so the message goes to more women
How can i get in contact with her doctor and oncologist?
Dr. Bernadette, you have passed on, but I still need to say " thank you" for creating this video despite being so overwhelmed and tired. I thank God for your life. You are truly and inspiration to us all. I have had gynaecological issues my whole life. I will definitely assess myself differently now. Love and hugs ❤
What grace this beautiful woman had. Rip thank goodness you're not in anymore pain.
RIP: What a courageous woman in her hour of need she is helping others on how to avoid being misdiagnosed with cancer, it’s the Doctors who need to be held accountable for their incompetency with further training or struck off the medical register for professional incompetence?
In USA we call them "practitioners" because all they're doing is practicing on us Guinee pigs. All Drs know is to send stuff to the lab and say what its not. Not until stage 4 do they catch it.
😭😭😭😭 Rest in Paradise. What a sad shame how this poor sweet soul was completely misdiagnosed at the hands of inconsiderate, incompetent doctors. Angers me deeply.
It's a testament to the kind of person Bernadette is that even in such a circumstance she think's of other's and wishes to help. Yes, I said "is" because such people will live on as all such wonderful people do.
She is still alive just in another form of beautiful energy. Bless her soul and all the advice ❤❤
Soul of an Angel. Rest in peace, Dr Bernadette Tynan.
Bless all her friends. She is helping us! Gist people could learn from her !!!
They killed her. They fucked up. dear lady. Thank you for your vid. You are an angel. You made a beautiful impact.
I wish I’d seen this video years ago. My sister sadly passed away a few months ago and was not diagnosed until it was to late and she was suffering from kidney failure due the spread of the cancer. She pretty much had all the symptoms this poor lady described, but in themselves they seemed innocuous until it was to late and the month before she passed was treated for oedema due to fluid seeping from her abdomen, still no cancer diagnosis.
Rest in peace you brave lady.
So sorry to hear of your loss. :(
My condolences.
Did she have cancer of cervix like a growth
I am so sorry, I am on my way there now, I know I have multiple cancers but can't get a diagnosis, more pain by the day. I know I am dying but don't have support because no one believes me.
A beautiful and brave woman. Extraordinary..😢
Wow what a beautiful, brave, eloquent and intelligent woman. I am so glad I watched this insightful and meaningful video and so grateful you were able to share your story to the world. RIP xxx
Dogs would be put down humams suffer
There is no way I could recount all this so calmly.
Msmeow .....I don't think I could be so calm....
I shacking in anger honesty xx
How could anyone put a thumbs down on this poor lady’s life. Honestly it beggars belief
Perhaps, they were upset to see her suffering.
There are many people who will dislike a video depending on how it made them feel, so if the content upsets them, they will select the thumbs down option. Shouldn't be the case, but not everyone thinks the same way.
I am in awe of this lady's selflessness in her final days, lending advice & wishing a long life to us all, wow. Bless her
This was informative, beautiful and sad all at once. This brilliant woman was in so much pain, yet still wanted to help others before she died. Everything was just so raw and unselfish. I pray that people are saved from this video, and that she Rest In Peace.❤️
She is i made appointment tommorow to talk about getting an biopsy done because i have pcos and it took over 3yrs before i can get an answer about that because the doctors didnt know what to look for so with or with out signs which i am sure i had them mistake them for something else i dont want anymore surprises popping up since i am at a high risk for it and i am only 24.
@@Blessed-qo8fh How are you now in 2021? I hope you are well and thriving!
@Emma MacGregor she passed.
She was failed on so many levels, I am absolutely furious that her symptoms were ignored until it was too late. Bless this lovely lady and Doctor, I hope her soul is at peace now.
I had the same cancer and was caught through my own insistence to be seen. I love this woman.
This poor woman has suffered terribly, having been a victim of a catalogue of mistakes. Such a brave woman to share what she has learned through this horrible process, in order to prevent this happening to someone else. RIP beautiful soul!
Brave, so very brave. So emotional to watch because she was a beautiful intelligent woman who was terribly misdiagnosed . Heartbreaking because doctors failed to do their job properly. She has taught us a lot in this video. I bet she has saved many lives because she was so brave to do this. Hope the doctors who misdiagnosed her are watching this and see what they have done, they destroyed a life of a gentle caring intelligent beautiful lady.
U
Bernadettes father was my cousin..we were brought up together ..we lost touch with each other when they went to live in France then I saw this video ..heartbreaking I had no idea ..even though she was so ill she still looked as beautiful to me ..she was the imagine of her mother an Irish beauty ..God bless you Bernadette and what a final gift you left us ..love Julie xx
This woman was a real warrior. I’m a nurse and a patient and I am so tired of all the physician incompetence with women’s medical health care. I hope she sued the living crap out of those doctors before she got sick and passed away. Just to get their attention. Sometimes the only thing that gets their attention is finances.
@@juliewalmsley6766 i’m so sorry
What a good woman to speak on this horrific thing. She will save lives. I will not forget this.
She was a beautiful person. May she Rest In Peace and Love ❤️.
I am returning after watching this a few years ago, because this showed back up in my recommended.
This video touched me, and I think of this woman from time to time since viewing.
I pray for God's blessings on everyone whom this video has touched, and those it has yet to reach.
What a beautiful lady. Her strength and compassion radiates through her. There are some things that cancer can not steal. I’m so grateful for the valuable information she shared as I am just starting my journey with this cancer. What a selfless thing to do in a time of so much suffering.
My God...this story hurts my soul. This woman is a hero in every way. God please reward her bravery and spirit.
Even hasn't the humour joking about not being able to have a glass of wine wouldn't a amazing woman
Praying that God would give you peace as you face your cancer journey ♥️
What a beautiful soul. Thank you for your strength and advice.
There is a promise by our Creator in Isaiah 33:24: "And no resident will say I am sick...." I personally look forward to that time, not only for this beautiful and courageous woman that reminds me of my mom (whose cancer started in the gallblader) but for everybody who suffers. To be healthy and young again in beautiful surroundings,in our own home planet earth, transformed into a paradise again! That's something no government can offer you. Only our maker. Jehovah is his name, by means of His kingdom with His son Jesus as king. That hope keeps me in a good mood and to share it makes me happy
Don't you see she Died Already in August, 2017
Aaah Jeebus. As an Irishman I just want to hug you non stop. Your bravery knows no bounds. Yes, I am going to say a prayer. I think you're in God's hands now. He wants you back.
I often come and watch this video. It’s soothing to listen to this intelligent and beautiful lady talk and yet painful because she tells all out of her bad experience. My heart breaks when she tearfully wishes well to all women. Wish she had a chance to live longer; this awful world needs more people like she was. Rest in peace beautiful angel. Rest in peace Dr Bernadette 💔
You said that beautifully..❤❤bless her soul
Omg, how do doctors get away with getting it so wrong so many times??! How many people have to die before something is done??
docs need to go back to school! Then again it isn't normal to bleed out a whole organ....if I was a doc and a patient told me she bled so much that it was like a miscarriage I'd sent her in for tests asap...
I hate to say it but the docs were responsible here...
That moment when you are the smartest person in the room......
and you're in the Doctors office.
Honestly I don't even trust men gynecologists/any man dealing with my reproductive organs.
I honestly felt, much of the time, that the oncologists while I went through breast cancer (seemed to be a revolving door of them in my case) never looked at my chart before they cam into the room... very frustrating when the first thing out of their mouth contradicts my chart.
Yeah esp when the gerson therapy has cured terminal cancer in a short time. Check out The Beautiful Truth. Or Dying to Have Kown.
She apparently felt so sick but still found strength to help others by sharing her story. What a shame that doctor's screwed her up and what a pity that she is not with us anymore. Rest on peace, Angel
Thank you
To see yourself wasting away and know there's nothing you can do. Cancer patients literally die of starvation and she explains it very well. She gives such good suggestions and I thank her for that. May she rest in peace
I am 55 yrs old.
Just yesterday after 3+ yrs of not having a period, one came.
I am here because of that.
If this woman is not yet passed, I wish her pleasant dreams and thank you for your advice.
This lady has such a peaceful heart. I feel very touched.
She is such a beautiful soul, hope god will take good care of her ❤️
Every once in a while I come here and watch her. I cry every time; this lady was simply a great person. It’s sad she is gone, she had so many plans, she made many kids stand out. I believe she is missed a lot by those that knew her. Rest In Peace beautiful lady 💔
