Endometrial Cancer - The Hidden Signs

In the late stages of endometrial cancer, Dr. Bernadette Tynan candidly describes the dangers of mis-diagnosis and the early warning signs that women should be aware of.
The video was made in August 2017, one month before Bernadette sadly passed away. The film includes scenes from Bernadette's home town of St Astier, France, which was decorated for the traditional Félibrée festival in the summer of 2017.

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

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.

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.

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.

[seecanon]

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 is it possible to love someone after 25 minutes? God Bless her sweet soul.

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.

Even in severe illness, she had a beautiful radiant smile.

Medical negligence is terrifying. The mistakes that could have been avoided. What a strong courageous woman. RIP.

[rosesolorio]

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

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

[pattysouza]

I can't believe she was misdiagnosed so many times. My heart cries for her.

[kanchangupta]

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..

[troybatey]

The world lost a beautiful, graceful, intelligent soul....rip lovely lady

[reneet]

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 🙏 ❤ ❤

[christinemiller]

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.

[mariadenise]

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.

[absinthexiii]

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.

[jaky]

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.
