For example, I recently met several young Black women who felt a lump. They were under the age of 30. They were dismissed by three physicians who said they were too young, that they can't have cancer because they're too young. Their concerns about the lumps in their breasts were dismissed. In one case, the lump was dismissed for almost two years.
I also met a young indigenous woman in 2018 who first felt a lump at the age of 22. She wasn't taken seriously until she was 24, and by that point, it was advanced stage breast cancer, and she had to have a double mastectomy at the age of 24. That there is racism.
