A SoCal woman was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer after she was denied a mammogram on two occasions. She now raises awareness on TikTok to educate others after her misdiagnosis.At 29 years old, breast cancer was the last thing on Philecia La'Bounty's mind. But in 2018, while at the movies with her boyfriend she made a discovery while adjusting her sports bra.
"I asked for a mammogram. The doctor I was seeing applied to a program for the mammogram. They in return said I was denied due to age. I was too young and had no family history," she said. It was stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to both her lungs, sternum and lymph nodes. Her oncologist started her on the chemotherapy drug commonly referred to as the "Red Devil."
