What a hag! I'm sorry you were treated like that. Please do go for a second opinion (I say this as a woman who has a strong genetic breast cancer risk and underwent a bilateral mastectomy 4 years ago at 32 years old). I am BRCA1+ which gives a huge risk of breast/ovarian cancer. It comes from my dad's side and so many women on his side of the family died from it. Your doctor doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. Yes, women get cancer that young (both breast and ovarian). I'll keep you in my thoughts.
PS - I'm not thinking YOU have cancer, just that she is arrogant and stupid to say it doesn't happen. Run, don't walk, away from any doctor who makes those kind of stupid generalizations (like you are wasting her precious time or something).
