"The Prevent Cancer Foundation mourns the death of Patrick Beauregard, who died on September 6, 2020. He was 32."
That’s sad man may god be with him hopefully his family is at peace with his passing 🕊️ ✝️
I despise when doctors try to say you're to young. My dad was 38 when he died of pancreatic cancer. No one took him seriously until it was to late. Young people can get sick too.
Dude i'm a doctor and you gotta understand something like colorectal or pancreatic cancer at 30 is so incredibly rare it's like winning the lottery where you lose when you win. The chance is like 1 in 100 000 to a million no doctor is ever going to suspect you have a damn old man's disease at 30. You can't blame the doctors for not suspecting the almost impossible while having some 200 differential diagnoses to keep in mind. Sure if your dad was a seasoned alcoholic who started at the age of 15 and told it to the doctor in question he might have suspected something but the thing why pancreatic cancer is the 2nd most deadly cancer after mesothelioma is that pancreatic cancer most times has absolutely no symptoms until it has metasthasized to other organs hence why it is so hard to treat
@Terska Taneli You sound like an atrocious doctor. His doctors simply told him to take antacids and did NOTHING beyond that. No further testing, just NOTHING. I'll tell you idiot doctors, what your problem is, you don't freaking listen to your patients. I'm having the same problem now. I've been to several doctors, and I can't get ONE of them to listen to all of the health problems that are currently happening. I have a few different issues, but they focus on one, and when they do one pathetic test, they act like "well, I did my job, I'm done". I had one idiot doctor test me 4 years ago for celiac disease and never told me that she tested me for it or the results. She just randomly said to me a couple of months ago, "Oh and with your celiac disease..." I was taken back because I had no clue. Then she said just eat gluten free and see how you do. So because of 1 blood test she did 4 years ago, I'm supposed to eat gluten free and "see how I do". Like it's so casual to go gluten free. I had to do a colonoscopy and she said well you'll find out then if you really have celiac. I'm not even a doctor, and I know it's an endoscopy, not a colonoscopy that looks for celiac.
@@terskataneli6457doctors in the United States look at you as a for profit patient not a human being 🤦🏻♂️
@@SitoVato so does any privately owned healthcare on this planet.
@@terskataneli6457this is such a bs take. 1 in 5 patients who get diagnosed with colon cancer are now under 50 so doctors have all the statistics to let them know that this isn’t just a condition that affects the old. I love how you completely shift the blame from your profession as well. Your a doctor, people trust you with your lives. That’s a responsibility YOU signed up for, and now you complain that it’s too hard to do your job. Cut the bullshit. Also if you truly believe what you are saying then either you aren’t actually a doctor or you are a shit one. Rule one of clinical reasoning is to eliminate the red flag conditions associated with patient symptoms first, then work up.
They have to stop gatekeeping these exams. People can get this cancer before 50.
They need to start suing for their malpractice and negligence. Anyone can get sick.
God bless him and his family
I hope this young man is doing well. The video ended so abruptly.
Sadly, we lost Patrick Beauregard to colorectal cancer on September 6, 2020 at age 32. He remained a fierce advocate for young-onset colorectal cancer until his death. We continue his work to better understand young-onset colorectal cancer by supporting research, and encourage early detection through our education, outreach, and advocacy. Our work continues in Patrick's name and on behalf of all touched by this disease as we strive for a world where no one dies from cancer.
