I just want to point out that for the majority of women in America, this timeline is not their reality. Being seen by a specialist, getting an MRI (rather than a plain old mammo), getting the MRI results an HOUR later, getting an ultrasound the next day, biopsy the following day- this is a fantasy for most people in the US unfortunately. The diagnostic journey is months to years for many women. Not all healthcare is created equal.

Agreed

@queenofquick4024 Месяц назад

I begged for my biopsy date sooner, not possible, surgery for my dbl mastectomy was months in the waiting! I felt like a ticking time bomb, I called everywhere in AZ the surgeon's booked so far out! It's bad, really bad!

@kanjacat Месяц назад

This is very far from reality in a public health care system, like Canada where I live, and there's nothing high tech like a robotic biopsy, at least not anywhere I've heard of.

@Daydreamer52811 Месяц назад

Exactly! This is the reality unfortunately

@janetadams772 Месяц назад

She was extremely fortunate to have great medical insurance and to get the tests done immediately. Ultrasound and MRI are very expensive unless you have outstanding medical coverage.

@jgbgw591 Месяц назад

I'm higher risk than Olivia based on my family history alone. That assessment test seems flawed to have her number be so high when she didn't even mention having remarkable family history of the disease and tested negative for BRCA. I would have been sent on my merry way with a clear mammogram and negative BRCA test. Nothing adds up about Olivia's experience. I worry that people are going to think they can have an MRI if they ask for one. It's not likely that insurance would cover that.

@michellebenetvideos Месяц назад

@@jgbgw591 There are a lot of cash based MRI places that will do an MRI for $300. In an emergency if someone is worried, that's what they should do if they're insurance won't cover it.

Yes..and those doctors being so through by approving the tests. Real life young woman are being told …let’s wait and keep an eye on it not a good thing.

@michellebenetvideos Месяц назад

@@jeanlaubenthal698That's not true, I was 28 and the doctors rushed me through to have a lot of tests. There was not a moment wasted, I called it the whirlwind. That's why it depends on what city you live in and what doctor you have. You have to do your due diligence to have great doctors. Even if you live in a town where there's not a lot of good doctors there is at least a couple of really great doctors and you have to seek them out. It's called taking your health into your own hands. Even before anything happens, always only go to the best of the best doctors that you can find wherever you are.

@appkeytechology 26 дней назад

Expensive? How? If you are paying out of pocket, yet...with a half-decent company insurance it's easily manageable if you aren't upside down in bills.

Her story is millions of women all over the world on a daily basis. I am happy her turnout was good (and as she noted she was able to assemble a "team" oh, ok.) but I am not inspired by her at all. In fact, let's hear from real "people" and how this sort of thing affects their lives and not another rich celebrity who appears to have it all. Sad this happened but how great would it be to spotlight REAL people once in a while. Probably not great as we are bring.

@bearin29 Месяц назад

I understand what you mean, but in Italy it is even worse. The wait time between getting your GP to write you a recommendation for a visit to a senologist for a visit, to then get a sonogram, then waiting again to get an MRI in another CITY, then back to another doctor, and then a biopsy, then surgery, can literally be months of waiting. It's a whole other level of anxiety and probability that original problem progresses as time allows the beast inside you to grow. Tough to explain, nightmare to experience.
