A woman named Amanda Lee is using her platform on TikTok to talk about being misdiagnosed due to her weight.

Lee’s TikTok video flashes back to one year ago when she says her doctor told her that her experiencing pains when she eats maybe isn’t “such a bad thing.”

Lee then talks about how, only one month after she visited that doctor to complain about her severe abdominal pain and cramps, she was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Lee said she continues to share her experience so that others can learn from what she has been through.

This person shared a similar story about being ignored by a doctor.

Another individual said that “fatphobia” is a dangerous thing.

And another person shared another story that was similar to Lee’s.
