- IMPORTANT HEALTH MESSAGE | Style Mom XO
Hey guys welcomes back to Style Mom XO in todays video it is super important for me to spread this message. The message of following what your gut says and making sure your voice is heard. Your health is super important and you don't have to just take one doctors option on it. I had a little health scare but because I stood up for myself and got another option it put me down the path of a biospy. Thank god it all turned out good in the end, but I wanted to share this important message in todays video. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!

Wow, Kim! What a story! You are helping so many women by sharing this! I’m so glad you’re ok! ❤️
Thank you so my Jamie! I just want everyone to put their health first and make their voice be heard
Praise God for the negative biopsy. I am a breast cancer survivor. 13 years.
Thank you and a big congratulations on being a breast cancer survivor!!!! Just amazing 💖
To God be the Glory! The intuitive nudges of the Holy Spirit never fails! I am so happy all checked OK, miracles do happen. God bless you and your family always! 🙏🏼❤️✝️
Bless you for this message. Many Drs. do not like to be questioned - they are the authority!! The problem is that you live in your body and you can sense things they might not consider. Intuition is a wonderful thing and I am so very glad you listened to yours. With your history it was negligent to deny you a mammogram. I am so happy that you found a Dr. who listened. Blessings also to your amazing husband who dropped everything to be by your side and help out. You have helped all of us here and sent a powerful message to your children as well. You are an amazing mother. Take care and stay well. We all need someone like you in our lives.
Thank you so much for your sweet words
Thank you for sharing. When I was 34 I had a lump under my arm. Every doctor I went to didn’t want to do a mammogram because I was too young and no family history of any type of cancer. 6 months later and many doctors later turns out I had Stage 3 Breast Cancer. When I finally got someone to listen and perform a mammogram and a sonogram came out negative. A woman that did my sonogram even told me to stop using deodorant when I asked if I had nothing why do I have a lump under my arm. We know our bodies and must be our own advocates. My prayers for your continued strength and healing 🙏🏻
Oh wow good for you to finally get someone to listen to you. I hope everything is okay with you now 💖
Thank you for sharing your story! I had cancer at the age of 28, resulting in a complete hysterectomy . I had 3 doctors to give their options, and ultimately had a wonderful doctor to help me get through the few years of healing. When I found out about the cancer, my son was only 4 months old. I certainly know the feelings of “the Mom” heartache of it all! It is so scary! Since then, I have had a lumpectomy which was negative.
I am so proud of you for listening to your voice, which God gives to us women in times of need! Your video has been such an inspiration!
New subscriber tonight. Can’t wait to see more from you!🥰🙏🏻🙌💕
Thank goodness your cancer was caught and you are okay 💖
Welcome to the family here. We are happy to have you
Thank God you listen to your gut. I'm sorry you had to go though that. But now you have a fantastic Dr. I just recently went through the same thing , i had a yearly mammogram done got the call for more pictures. Went a had that done they said need to do a mammagram guided biopsy. So had that done came back as DCIS pre cancer. So had surgery then done 4 weeks of radiation. Being checked every 6 months with Mammogram. So thankful it was found early as well. In 2013 was diagnosed with Hodges Lymphoma went thur chemo and in 2015 cancer free. Praise God!! Thank uou Kim for sharing your story. In my prayers girl.
Oh Kay I am so sorry for your long journey but so thankful you were on top of things and it was caught early! That’s all we can ask for is for things to be caught early
Thank heavens you knew how to say no to someone in an authority position. And yes, alwsys listen to your own body and your mind. And thank heavens your family is there for you always ❤.
Thank you so much
I am a breast cancer survivor. I am so happy it came back ok. I am five years cancer free. I too have a mammogram MRI every six months. You have found yourself a fabulous doctor. We do need to stand up for ourselves. God bless and stay well my friend.
Congratulations on being cancer free!!! That is amazing 💖💖
I’m so pleased for you that your issues were sorted & I hope you’ll stay healthy now.
This really resonated with me as my Mum had almost constant heavy periods & went to doctors over 10 years including hospital. She was constantly being put off saying she was too young for it to be anything serious. She had procedures done but nothing helped. Finally at 48 a new doctor sent her for tests at the hospital & she passed away from Ovarian Cancer at 49, just over 1 month after her diagnosis.
It’s painful sharing this but she was told you don’t get Ovarian cancer until at least 50, well what a load of rubbish. It might not be common but age isn’t a defence against these diseases & everyone needs to be aware of that. My mum could still be here if it wasn’t for the doctors who saw age in a black & white area, there’s always exceptions & they should listen. If it’s not normal for your body then it’s not normal. My mum fought to get help but it took 10 years & with Cancer 10 years is a life sentence because it can easily be too late.
Thank you for sharing your story & you could’ve saved someone’s life. I fund raise & put leaflets out for the Ovarian Cancer charity to hope someone will recognise their symptoms & with the information hopefully save their life. Take care of yourself. 🤗🤗🤗
I recently read where a women was advising women that if a health care professional refuses to run any tests or doesn’t respond to your concerns that you should request that they put it in writing in your chart. She did that and it resulted in her getting the tests run that she needed. I know that sometimes it’s an insurance issue but always double check your coverage as well.
Great tip and thank you
This is why I love my male gyno he was the only one who listened to me and took me seriously. I was in and out of the hospital and in severe pain. He listened and he was the one who surgically diagnosed me with endometriosis and he always has been kind and compassionate.
It’s so nice you found someone you like. It’s so important
@@_KimberlyHalle I didn't even finish watching the video when I left this but I am glad everything turned out as it did and I hope you stay healthy and well . Such an important message to share 💓
Girl, I’m an OB nurse, that’s ridiculous. You need to be your own advocate, always. It’s true all doctors are not the same you need to find someone you really jive with. Sometimes you need tests just for peace of mind, though you may pay a higher premium. I’m so happy everything worked out! Yay for awesome husbands:)
Thank you. Yes being our own voice is so important! And yes yay for amazing husbands and kids 💖🤗
Yes, women, be your own advocate! Thank you for sharing. I went through a life or death scare and brain surgery in 2015. God is so good and I’m still here for my daughters. You had me choking on tears because I remember how so many people ignored my symptoms. God bless your wonderful husband! May your family be under his protection. I’m so happy with the outcome. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you and so happy your situation turned out good in the end. Good job on standing up for yourself 💖
You are so beautiful inside and out. Thank goodness you heard that little voice inside. God bless you and your beautiful family. Continued blessings. As a previous Tucson resident and as amom, just really love and identify with your channel and content. Big hug.
Thank you so much
God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. God has you . I myself had cancer 6 years ago . I did everything from surgery to chemo radiation and pills ..yes it’s was tough but. Our daughter was going into eighth grade, and my boys were older. All I could think about is not being here for them and my amazing husband . Thank god Iam . You will be great. Keep checking yourself and everyone reading this please go for your check up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞💞💞 GOD BLESS YOU
Congratulations on being cancer free. It’s a whole new world once you’re a wife and mother.
Totally agreed about getting a second opinion and fighting for yourself. In 2010 my cycles went crazy (like yours). First OB/GYN gave me a prescription for birth control and they didn't work. I called them several times with concerns and was told to wait. I found a second Dr who ran tests, blood work and a mammogram. Afterward we discussed the option and decided the best route was a hysterectomy (at age 45). I am thankful for listening to my inner voice and a supportive husband/son to help.
It’s so hard to find a good doctor these days. So happy you found a second opinion
Amen Kim! Please share the doctor information 🙂 my OBGYN here is retiring.
You can DM on Instagram and I will share there.
I soo agree with you I had a similar issue like that with my child and I made sure she was in the right hands. Not all doctors are the same even though they say they’re great. Like you said. they see us ass numbers instead of Human beings. Always trust what your heart says not what they say because they’re not always right. God Bless you and your beautiful family. 💛
Thank you so much. Standing up for yourself or family is so important 💖
Omggg I feel u .it was literally fight as well to get mammogram. Am 37 years old and I have been asking for mammogram for a while because I kept complaining about it and how I am in pain in my right breast. They kept saying oh u too young blah blah. I am like their are ppl I know who has breast cancer n 30s. Finally I was very serious about am not leaving until I get appointment . Finally after 7 years I got my appointment and thank god everything normal.. yes I agree u need to defend yourself and speak up for yourself. I am glad everything is OK.
Super proud of you for standing up for yourself and so happy it was a happy outcome. Good job!
@@_KimberlyHalle thank you. 😊 I am also happy for your outcome as well.
I HAD BYOPSI BUT WHAT THE SAME CALCIUM CALSIFICATION BUT I HAD TO CHECK EVERY YEAR WITH A MOMMOGRAM MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT!!THANKS GOD EVERYTHING IS OK FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
Thank you. And that is great you get a regular mammogram
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story, I had the same issues with my period but I have an amazing doctor that helped me right away. We lost my aunt to breast cancer and my obgyn ordered the BRCA test for me just to make sure I was not a carrier of that gene and also to order my mammogram at 35 because of my family history, so glad you found someone that will listen to you,
That’s amazing you have a doctor so on top of it all. Good job
Thank you so much Kimberly for sharing your story with us. So grateful for you 💜
Just found your channel today, I just wanted to say from someone coming from a long line of cancer survivors and some who did not... GOOD FOR YOU, for listening to that little voice!! I have been getting a Mamo every year since I was 25, now 45. Nearly every woman on my mothers side has had it and I was not taking any chances. I was very fortunate to find a primary Dr. who told me if I ever ran into a Dr. that refused a scrip because of my age he would personally write one...and he did a few times. I understand the issues all to well that you experienced with your monthly. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) So that was my life all my life. Not living for fear I wouldn't find a bathroom, or always carrying a change of clothes, just in case. Unfortunately because the BC in my family is estrogen induced I cannot take Birth control, but through diet I've been able to get it under control. Anyways thank you for making this video I am sure it has helped so many already.
Thank you. Yes I have a few more doctors appointments coming up and one of them is to take a different direction with my period issue since now I have had breast issue. So lots to update everyone on once I know more
Thinking of you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Listening to your gut is so important. I’m so glad you are ok and that you found someone who will monitor your health!
Thank you so much
Praise God Kimberly that everything was ok and you will be getting regular checkups! Praise God for your husband and for your intuition telling you to stand up to yourself! I didn't know any of my grandma's and my mom wasn't around so I don't have an older woman in my life to give me advice or wisdom so thank you. I am 29 with 4 children and felt your fear and you are sooo brave! Thank you sooo much for making this video!!! God bless your life!! I appreciate you so much. I was scared when you mentioned your procedure to not have any more babies because I thought I had the same procedure. Thank you again for sharing I am in tears!!
Thank you for your kind words and happy my video is able to help
Thank you for sharing your journey. Your personal history with cancer at a young age and then a strong family history of breast cancer should be top priority. I would recommend a cancer genetic blood test also.
I actually got the blood test done today. Was suppose to get it last week but was sick. 🤗
Is the saliva test accurate too
I hope everything turns out well for you and your family with your health. Prayers are sending your way 🙏and love 💗
I couldn’t agree more!!! I’m always telling friends and family that they are in charge of their health not the dr. I also am one to encourage mammograms as soon as you can to get that baseline- in case there are any changes. In August 2018 I had my yearly mammogram. I got a call to go in to have more films taken., I was told I needed to speak with the Radiologist. He said that there was something very small but was indeed suspicious, he recommended an ultrasound then a biopsy if needed. I had the ultrasound and it was recommended I have a biopsy that day. Honestly I was a little freaked out but I knew I had fibroids which I also had a needle biopsy years earlier and all was fine. On September 10, 2018 as I was walking down the high school hall (my youngest daughter that has Down syndrome and Autism had forgotten her favorite doll at school and there was no way the evening would go well if that doll didn’t get home! Lol!!!) Also important to know that I had my dr had left the practice and I had not yet had my appointment with my new doctor. So as I was walking down the chaotic high school hallway my new dr tells me my biopsy came back positive for cancer. After a lumpectomy, I didn’t have to have chemotherapy and only had to have 16 radiation treatments (which was plenty and awful). I am cancer free and will be graduating to seeing my oncologist every 6 months- woot woot!!! I’m sharing to reinforce your message to be proactive-get your mammogram as often as you are directed to and to push for it if there is a family history. Also be your own advocate. You can ask 10 people if they recommend this dr or that one -half will say the dr is great and the other half will say don’t go to that dr. 🙄- great help right?!! So you have consultation and make your own decision, you’ll know if that dr is right fit. ***some doctors have awful people skills but are great at their specialty., still you’ll know. Speak up for yourself because YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH!!! 💗💗💗🤗
The biggest congratulations on being cancer free. What an amazing blessing 💖
Praise God for that negative result on that biopsy Kimberly!! May his healing virtual flow through your entire body. You are so right to go with your gut instincts. Thank you for sharing your story and for encouraging me to get on top of scheduling my appointment right now. God bless you and your entire family..
Yes please make that appointment! That is all I ask. And thank you for your sweet words
WOW WOW WOW!! Not Shocked about 1st doctor 'cause many make mistakes, unfortunately. I'm so happy you went with your Gut feeling. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. Definitely, your story will help MANY. I also, want to say, your husband is AWESOME! Tell him thank you. Thank you because not many women have there husband support. Him being out of town, with covid going on, everything that comes with life, and the ifs of a worrying news he was and is an awesome human being in supporting you through all of this. I'm glad to know everything came out good. God bless you.
Thank you so much for all the sweet words. My husband is absolutely amazing and my biggest support system. Anytime and anywhere
So thankful that you are okay and what a powerful story to remind all of us to listen to our gut and get second opinions 🙏❤️
Thank you
My heart goes out to you and can totally relate to your situation. Actually had similar issues years ago. My menstrual cycle was lasting for almost.. 30 days straight. And got to the point where had became anemic. Dr. suggested a blood transfusion and was very weak. Then started breaking out in hives everywhere. Didn’t know what was wrong with me. But definitely difficult thing to go thru without anyone really there for me.. during that time. Brought me to tears to hear how your husband was there to help and for support!.. That’s awesome how he dropped everything to be there for you.. I’m sure it meant a lot! Thanks for sharing your story.. It helped to know was not alone in what I’d went through..There are other women out there going through same thing.. And that there is help available ❤️❤️
Wow 30 days straight! That must have been really hard
I am so glad ur test came out negative.. I am so glad ur telling ur story this is going to help so many women to understand the awareness of breast cancer and my prayers go out to you and your family everything is going to be ok and keep the faith up cause at the end only god has the last word…❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much
Kimberly, thank God you fought for yourself and listened to that little voice. Doctors are fallible. Trusting your self is vital! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much
That was so brave of you to share your story. If I was with you now I would be hugging the life out of you. I am so glad you are ok.
You are so sweet and thank you
Omg! Yes this is such an important message for women..good for you girl! Gotta take care of yourself for those kiddos..
Thank you
Wow, I totally agree with u. U go girl. I will put myself first. So happy to hear it was fine. Prayers and smiles. Keep smiling.
Thank you
Thank God you are ok. What a relief! I’m sorry you went through this all, but I’m so happy it all turned out ok. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much
Kim, thank God your good!! I had similar situation as you this past June!! Went in for my annual (3D) and got called back for additional views, then I had to get US! Doctor came in to talk to me I had 2 masses on my left breast..I could either watch for 3 months, fine needle biopsy, or remove by surgery. Of course I wanted them out..One was fine the other was irregular reason for concern. They ended up being benign (fibroadenomas). They did however test my tissue and I have ALH (at risk for breast cancer) and was offered Tamoxifen for 5 years. I go back this month for another mammogram, then every 6 months..then eventually a yearly!! This was an emotional roller coaster for us as well, (my husband is a saint too) no immediate family member with breast cancer (I think my aunt in her 70’s may have). I also had a thyroidectomy 15 years ago!! Thanks for sharing💕🤗
Wow you have had a rollercoaster for sure. Happy to hear all is well and they are staying on top of it. 💖
What a beautiful gift you have shared. I am so happy you have answers and have shared your story. Continued healing and health.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this I know that was a difficult time . But if this helps one person that hears this . Wow .. that’s powerful.
That’s what I prayed for, if it helps just one person. But now so many have said they just made a mammogram appointment today. And that is music to my ears
I know that you and your Family are so relieved. I didn’t have the issue with the first doctor, that you experienced, but had the same situation, mammogram, second mammogram and then a biopsy in February-same thing calcifications. Had them previously, but never had to have a biopsy. It was scary, but negative results! Due to go back now. Will definitely be calling for the appointment tomorrow, after listening to your video! Your are an inspiration to Women and their Voice! Thank you for sharing your personal journey! And thank God for your negative results!
Thank you and so happy to hear you are calling tomorrow. Please stay on top of it 💖💖
I’m in tears 😢. I went through something similar a couple a years ago. I was then 37. So I had very horrible painful heavy periods that would literally make me cry. My then OBGYN suggested I get my uterus burned or have a hysterectomy. I told him I wasn’t sure I didn’t want any more kids. My kids were 20, 18, 15 years at that point. He said it wouldn’t make a difference because I was no longer “ovulating”. So I felt useless. Some type of way I can’t really explain. So I told him I would think about it. In a couple of months I missed a period. Didn’t think nothing of it since I wasn’t “ovulating” missed a second period and suddenly I’m feeling nauseous. Took a pregnancy test and surprise. I was pregnant with now my fourth baby. He’s now 13 months and amazing. Periods are better naturally. Main point. Don’t just accept any procedure because it was suggested. I wouldn’t have my baby if I would have. 😊
That is amazing! Such a blessing for sure.
We are 1000% done having kids. Lol. I had a permanent procedure done to have no more babies when my daughter was 1. We just felt complete and happy. So I don’t mind having a hysterectomy it’s just i wanted to make sure there was other options.
I’ve been going through similar things. I have endometriosis birth control helps some but still have pain. I have lumps in both my breast and have to go back every 6 months to make sure it doesn’t change to cancer. I’m a grandmother now and I have been trying to keep up with my health because I want to see them grow up. Glad you got a second opinion. My doctor knows cancer is really bad in my family and keeps me on schedule for the screenings. I even have to get colonoscopy every three years. 😩
Good for you!!!!!! Stay on top of it and just music to my years you are being proactive 💖
So sorry you have gone through all that. You were so right to get a second opinion and so brave to share your story.
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing!! I had my first mammogram at 35 due to family history. Then last year at 38 I had a large lump removed which was benign. So glad you got the help and attention you needed!
It’s so important for us to stand up for ourselves
So glad the results were negative. This was very helpful, thank you for being so honest and opening up. Bless you!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing!! Glad everything ended up well!! This video was a wake up call to all of us to always get other doctor opinions.
I am so proud of you not only for standing up for yourself, but also for sharing your story. I know it was hard to not get too emotional during filming. Thank you so much! It is true, trust your gut. My son had a very bad virus a few years back and had been checked by our doctor but was not getting better. His heart rate was 145 bpm, temperature consistently over 103, he was very, very sick. Now mind you, he had the same symptoms the day before at the doctor. My gut said take him to the ER, so I did. He was 19 years old at the time. My son was admitted for pneumonia and possible sepsis. My family doctor had not caught the symptoms less than 24 hours earlier. That trip to the ER most likely saved my sons life.
Trust your gut feeling!! Voice your concerns and advocate for yourself and your family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kimberly for sharing your story. You are helping other people with your message.
Thank you so much. And good job mama for following your gut and getting him help. No matter the age we have to be their voice!
Thank you for sharing this today. I had my first mammogram recently. I too had to go back several times. It is important. It is also very important to have those tests done so in the future you can compare the changes. I am with you too about finding a right for you doctor. I use to just settle. Until that one day my son needed me to be his voice. They ignored us for a while and I had to find him a doctor who would listen or at least inform us on what to do. His life depended on it.
Good job mama!! That’s amazing
I am so proud of you for speaking out to hopefully help someone else. I regret not getting a second opinion earlier for my Dad. He was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in 2017 and given 4-6 months. We were told it was inoperable when there was actually an amazing doctor a few hours away that specializes in brain surgeries for GBM. I didn’t find the doctor until 2 months in. He was able to remove 95% of my Dads brain tumor. It wasn’t earlier enough though because it had done so much damage. He lost his speech, use of his left side completely and almost completely on his right. He went from a very active man to bedridden very quickly! We buried my Dad 4 months to the day of his diagnosis. I trust everything happens for a reason and that it’s all in God’s hands but I can’t help but think what if. What if we got him into the doctor and got his surgery sooner.
Anyway, I’m sorry!!! You are a strong woman to share your story and to have already survived it once. God bless you!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your dad.
Prayers for good health , I could tell something was wrong because you weren’t your bubbly self ! ♥️
Yes I have just been so occupied with all this.
Kim I love you so much. Thank God you changed drs. I knew something was going on with you. So glad you found someone you can trust. That is so hard to do these days. God is with you girl. Happy Birthday. Now you can celebrate and be happy. Your husband is an angel. God bless you and your family. Love you.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for your sweet words. Yes when something is going on I tend to back off work and just focus on what’s really important (family and health)
I ❤️ your other videos, but THIS ONE, by far, is the BEST and MOST IMPORTANT content you’ve shared.
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your honesty during this difficult journey.
Kudos for having the strength and determination on being an advocate for your personal health! It’s truly relatable and hopefully inspires other people (regardless of gender/identity) to follow their instincts and have their voice heard.
I wish you the best! 💕
Thank you so much
Kim you are a very strong person to stand up for yourself. Being a retired mri tech you may want to check now if you are able to have the mri because of your coils. If you are able to have the mri try for a 3 T mri machine no lower than a 1.5 T. I worked on a 3 T and our mammo images were so sharp. I had the feeling something was wrong with me 10 yrs ago. I went to my dr and asked for a colonoscopy was diagnosed with colon cancer had surgery and chemo am 10 yrs out doing fine.
Yes that was brought up to my attention. So I need to ask my doctor. I think the radiologist is the one that said mri not knowing about my coils. But I will bring that up thank you.
Good for you knowing to trust your body. And thank you for all the years you gave to the medical world. We truly appreciate you. And now you are good and can enjoy retirement 🤗
Hi Kimberly, thank you so much for your video. I commend you for it. It’s sad to know that our lives are in the hands of these kind of doctors. I’m with you, I truly believe in being your own advocate. At least that’s what I teach my husband & children. Unfortunately, I had a dr who selectively chose which of my issues to address (the simple & quick ones) & then wanted to send me on my way. I had to push her to do more bcuz all of my concerns were not taken care of & knew it could be resolved with some simple tests. Sure enough I had an infection. I got called a few days later prescribing me antibiotics. If I didn’t say any more to the dr, who knows what would have happened. I’m happy your ok & I just want to say Thank you for putting yourself out there & sending a great message to all. We need more people in the world like you! ❤️
You are so sweet and thank you. If my video helps one person it did it’s job. So many have made their mammogram appointments today and that fills my heart with joy
Absolutely agree with you Kimberly, I’m so sorry you had to go through this, I had a very similar situation happened me …I did find a gyno that listens to me when my health was going crazy like you had. Plus I also had a breast cancer scare, also it’s so crucial to get mammograms as soon as you can.
My spot on mine mammo disappeared in 3 months…🎊 please remember October is breast cancer awareness month!
Thank you. Yes I know about October. I have done runs in the past in October. It’s always a special month to me since my mother is a survivor and it’s my dads and hubby’s birthday month. There are many things I keep close to me and don’t share just out of I want to keep some things private. I wasn’t planning on sharing this as it’s been a issue for 2 years. But I knew once the doctor situation came up I needed to share this message. 💖
So glad you are ok. I’m the same age as you are and I have asked and asked for a mammogram because my mom had breast cancer and they have refused. I think you just gave me the initiative to stand up and ask for a new doctor.
Sorry I am just getting to this comment. But yes just keep looking till you get a yes. It’s sad they refuse because you would think they want a good base line anyways. It’s so frustrating but good luck and you got this!
Now that I hear your story. I'm like ok I will not keep r/s my appt. Thank you for the video! Glad you are ok.
Thank you. Yes just get those appointments done! Don’t put them off
Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear that everything is OK.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Thank God for negative results and that everything is ok!
Thank you
Omg! I’m so glad you’re ok! I went through something similar! I have no history of breast cancer but go for mammograms yearly and this year they found something. I went to a doctor who immediately said mastectomy before we even had the biopsy done. That turned me off and i went to a second doctor who gave me options and listened. It’s so important to listen to your gut. It ended up not being cancer but it had to be removed. Like you I also have a wonderful husband. I’m a little older than you and also have kids and even though they are older it’s scary. all the thoughts that go through your mind. I also had 1/2 of my thyroid removed 20 years ago. So I can relate a little. Thanks for sharing your story
Wow that first doctor you went to… i have no words what that doctor wanted to do vs giving you options. So happy you are healthy and continue go get checked regularly 💖
Kim I love your story so glad you talked to us I'm so glad you are OK! I work with a GYNE and when I heard you say that about that doctor I was wow I'm so glad you listen to your gut, I have been working in the Medical field for 35 years and you are so right there are doctor's that see patients as only numbers! My boss is so good he talks to his patients not 15 minutes but up to an hour he cares so much for his patients but there are doctor's that only work for the money and believe me in 35 years in this field I have seen it all, you did the right thing always get a second opinion when you don't feel right I was crying just listening to your story, the mammogram here in Canada if a patient has a history of breast cancer no matter what age we do the mammogram right away I'm so happy you did everything and you are OK thank God! Love you 😍
Thank you so much. And thank you for what you do within the medical field 💖
I had gone through the same thing I relocated to nevada from hi a year ago my Drs back home was very thorough because of my family history same as yours my grandmother and great grandmother both had breast cancer double mastectomys and my mom twice colon cancer We are high risk because of the history so yes be consistent you know your body better than anyone I had a biopsy last year because under my left nipple lumps keep developing so Im very vigilant to about mammograms and colonoscopys etc its scary but you take care of yourself and share it does help others glad your better god bless love your channel ❤🙏love from Hawaii Ohana still consider it my home
You are so sweet. It’s super important for us with a big family history to stay on top of things. Good job on being proactive about it all.
Thank you for sharing! Praise God you advocated for yourself.
Thank you
Thank goodness everything is ok.
Thank you
So happy that all is well.. but I think you should consider calling the medical board on the first doctor. I had to do that once many many years ago for a different issue and yes I listen to my gut about it
I will take that into consideration thank you
A strong message from a strong lady. I’m sorry you had to go through this. You have such a loving family. 💕
Thank you so much
Thank goodness you pushed for another doctor and the results were negative and your monthly issues were resolved. It's such a good video for you to share as I'm sure this was a harrowing experience for you and your family. Sending much love from the UK xx
Thank you so much
My doctor wanted to do an ablation on me as well. I decided last minute not to do it after research. Like you said it burns the lining of your uterus as well as keeping you in the future from getting a biopsy if needed. If there were any issues on down the road I was told next step would be hysterectomy due to the fact that the procedure would mask (I believe that was the term) any cancer cells if they were present. I no longer go to that doctor. He was not happy when I canceled the procedure. Good for you for being your own advocate !!
Good for you. Follow your gut for sure
I'm glad you shared this very important information. I've had family members who've had many of the same scenarios. One family member was having such heavy, prolonged periods that she couldn't even sit through a whole Christmas performance her daughter was in without getting up twice. She was treated with birth control and I believe a steroid. One family member had to have her uterus scraped and cauterized for endometriosis, and I had a mammogram that was questionable and indeed it was scary. After waiting a few days I was sent to the hospital, undressed and put on a gown, then told to wait in the hall because someone else was first....what the heck. That one was questionable also so they did an ultrasound. That one was fine, but all that in between stuff was scary. Plus the mammogram radiologist wasn't the nicest person. The ultrasound person was nice and understanding. So your message was much appreciated. So happy it wasn't cancerous!!!!
So happy you are okay and girl you have been through a lot. Keep those check ups going for sure!
Iam so glad that everything is negative..you had me crying..Iam so happy for you.❤️
Thank you so much
Praise God. ❤️
Thank you
I haven’t gone to the doctor in like a year and a half. This might be a good reminder, thank you for sharing!
Please make an appointment and go!
@@_KimberlyHalle All booked. Thanks for the reminder 🥰
Thanks for sharing! I'm 28 and I've been having health issues for the last 12 years and just found a doctor that took me seriously in April. Thanks to this doctor I've gotten in with specialist that other doctors would have never thought of letting me see. I have a follow up with a cardiologist this afternoon and I needed this reminder to fight for myself because I was seriously thinking about giving up after today if the cardiologist said everything was normal.
Absolutely don’t give up. You should never give up on your health! Stay strong and sending you prayers.
My mom is 62. Just had her first mammogram bc she is so scared of doctors. As far as she knows, there is no history of breast cancer in her family. She also had the clusters and they said it was very suspicious and may be the c word and just got two biopsies last week. We go on the 13th to get her results. This video, you have no idea is what I need. I know there’s a chance but I also know there’s a chance it’s not. This Gives me hope 🙏🏻 thank you
Sending prayers your moms way. Stay strong and have faith 💖
@@_KimberlyHalle thank you 💕
Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing. This video is very helpful in many, many, many ways. You are in my prayers. 🙏 🙂🙂
Thank you so much
So happy for you! Thanks for sharing. I was diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer at 42. My breast cancer was calcification's too and could only be found by a mammogram.
So happy it was caught!
@@_KimberlyHalle thank you!!
Thank you for sharing !!! I know this message will help out a lot of people. You are a strong woman and I’m glad you are doing great now ❤️
Thank you so much
Glad to hear you’re OK and thanks for sharing your story helping a lot of people
Thank you
BTW who the hell is hitting a thumbs down on this video?? I don't get it I swear.
Kimberly, I've been following you since the first Arizona house. First of all, big shout out to your husband for being so amazing and supportive through all this. You got a good one. I'm so glad you advocated for yourself and got real answers. Shout out to all of us '82 babies
It’s okay I honestly don’t even pay attention to the thumbs down. Those are just miserable people.
Yes my husband is for sure an amazing man and i am blessed he is mine
Oh wow, thank god you're ok 💕 last year in 2019-2020. I got my period for 6 months long. That is super crazy. But never got someone to see what was going on. Took a long time to make them stop! At least it did. Im 30 years old and trying to get pregnant! Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
What!!! 6 months! That is crazy. Good luck on your journey of getting pregnant. Sending prayers your way.
@@_KimberlyHalle yes i know. Never found a problem for it!!! But its theyre getting normal. Thank youu! Ill be 31 next month. Getting inseminated for the second time soon. The first shot didnt work. 💕
I was watching your video and I literally called and scheduled my mammogram. Thank you!
This is what I hoped this video did! Thank you and good job.
Thanks God you are ok 🙏🙏
Thank you
Hola 👋 THANK YOU for sharing! Happy you are well! Blessings 💗
Thank you so much
Kimberly, no wonder I love you and your channel....I've known you are a very smart person who checks things out, makes good decisions........this is a very important and great video to put out there....I have walked away from a couple doctors that I knew they just weren't correct......I had a pain in my foot once and one dr. said no it is in my leg, i said no the pain is near my toes, in the metatarsal area, he wanted to set me up for electrodes all down my leg, I said no , never went back.......the pain completely went away on it's own, it was from wearing a shoe I wasn't use to wearing, I went to another dr. and he couldn't find anything wrong and it just went away.......and once on my finger, I bumped it and ended up with a cyst that made a lump, well I wanted it out and one dr. explained how she would zig zag cut it out all down the finger and around the other side and and then there would be 6 weeks of physical therapy......and she was not polite, and I found another dr knowing that can't be right, I didn't tell the next dr how she was going to take it out, then you get a clean opinon and he said, he'd cut one little small straight line and a couple stithces will be removed and no physical therepy at all, then i told him how the other dr what she would do and he just was amazed. And on and on in life the crazy things one can encounter, gotta be super vigilant and do your own research, get another opinion when you know something is not right........Well Kimberly I just admire you more and more!! I am so proud of you!
Thank you so much
I literally got emotional watching this! Im so proud of you for standing up for yourself and even more happy to hear that everything is okay with you! My mom had a similar situation happen to her when I was just a baby. She insisted on getting me checked for renal reflux because of my dads family history of it. She didn’t give up and thank God for that because I soon started to pass kidney stones and was started early on a medication. I’m now 27 and haven’t experienced a kidney stone since I was a child. If she would not have done something early I would be on medication for life to deal with that issue but thankfully I’m not. Always trust your gut feeling! ❤️
Sooooo happy your mom stood up for what she knew and stood up for you! As a mother we would do anything for our kids! Happy to hear you are doing great.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have to share this video with my daughter. I am happy to hear that everything turned out for the best. ❤️
Thank you for sharing the video 💖
I noticed you were quiet on social media and I held you in prayer. I'm glad you are doing well. Prayers for continued good health ❤
Thank you so much. Yes was just trying to focus on what is important (health & family) Thank you for the prayers
I am sooo glad you changed doctors. I come from a family with breast cancer on both sides and being “ high risk”, am getting a mammogram, then an ultra sound and then an MRI with six months in between. There are times they want to skip a test, but I insist.
40 is just a number someone, somewhere ( probably insurance companies!!) chose. There are so many women who have a family history or not, that have gotten breast cancer way before that age. I don’t think it is ok for them to make a woman who is worried wait and take chances with our lives.
Thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much and sending you prayers everything always comes out clear and you stay healthy 💖
Wow Kim I'm so happy about your results! Your story reminded me of Skinnygirl mogul Bethenny Frankel; she had the same problem as you and was told she needed surgery right away but did not do it and found another doctor. Later on down the road, she did have a procedure but she is 11 years older than you. Thank you for doing this video!
No I didn’t know that about Bethenny.
@@_KimberlyHalle Yes she had fibroids causing massive bleeding. She lost ten percent of what she had, and her first doctor said you need a hysterectomy, a myomectomy (removal of the fibroids), or something with foam, a UAE. She wanted to try for more children, so her second opinion doctor gave her some hormones, and eventually, she had a myomectomy and had the tumors removed.
I’m glad the options worked for you I had my period for 3 months I’m here in Tucson as well we did so many things and nothing helped I did my research and decided to do the ablasion I asked my doctor about it and she asked if I wanted to try more options mind you by then I was on my period for 6 months I didn’t want to I told her I wanted the ablasion where they burn the inside of my uterus I needed something to work cause I was drained. It sounds worse then it is it’s actually nothing i felt myself within 2 hours that procedure was the best decision I’ve made I’ve had 1 period since then and it’s been 2 and a half years ago. Mind you I am done having kids so this procedure was the one for me I’m 32. I always do what you did sit and make sure that’s the doctor for me because here there are so many rude doctors I found the one that works for me I’m glad you found the one for you.
Thank you so much for sharing something so vulnerable. You're doing us a real service in reminding us to listen to our guts. Blessings to you and your lovely family. Love you xx🥰
Thank you so much
So glad you’re ok! Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for watching
I can't click off without telling you what a beautiful and inspiring woman you are! You are so brave to tell your story, because I know something like this can be especially hard. Thank you for sharing your truth.🙏🏻
Thank you for your sweet words.
This is my first time ever commenting on a CZcams video but I just absolutely found the need to thank you taking the time out and for sharing this. Thank god a million times you are okay and you stood up for yourself. Something similar happened to my mom due to an incompetent doctor. God bless you, your husband and your family with the best of health and happiness always!! 🥰🙏🏻 keep inspiring! 🧡
Thank you so much. It means the world that you took the time to comment. 💖
Kimberly,
I'm glad that you went to another doctor and that everything is going well. I appreciate that you shared your story. Your husband is a awesome.
Blessings
Thank you so much and yes he is amazing
Got 1st mammo at 35 (24 years ago) because of family history. When I was 40, my 41 year old sister got breast cancer and a double mastectomy. I was "comfortable" to be checked at 35. So glad my DR listened to my concern. 2nd opinions are sometimes needed
So happy you are being proactive about getting them done. And so happy you had a doctor that listened. Also happy your sister is okay 💖💖
What a blessing! I’m so happy for you! Thank you for sticking to your gut. Many women will simply just take the doctors advise, but I’m thankful that you did not settle for what the first doctor said. I totally understand you and thank you. I, too, faced a similar situation and this gives me encouragement. Thank you. I will be praying for you and your family. 💞🙏🏼💞🙏🏼
Thank you so much
