Top Comments of this video!! :3
Rachel having to fight with doctors is so common itās scary. Iām in my twenties and my grandpa had breast cancer. Every time I tell a doctor they doubt me or ask if I meant my grandma. They tell me how rare it is for a male to get it. And Iām always like yeah, thatās why Iām telling you and fighting to get tested. Iām tired of doctors telling me I have MY family history wrong.

I appreciate how often the Try Guys share and normalize women's health issues. People used to be so uncomfortable talking about it, but there's so much stigma about women's care, women's pain, and talking about it raises more understanding. Thank you. And I'm so glad Rachel was able to get reconfirmation of her health through this. Getting cancer is scary at any age, but especially when young knowing you have so many years ahead to be concerned about recurrence. I completely understand why this was so emotional for her. I'm so thankful she shared her story

I have never heard Rachelās story previously, but as soon as she looked at the camera, closed her eyes, and breathed that breath that says āIām about to walk you through what nearly broke meā I immediately knew I needed to watch this somewhere that I could ugly cry. Thank you all for sharing this experience, and your personal stories.

I bet that this video was Rachel's idea, and even if it wasn't, it was incredibly generous of her to do this anyway. Not only is it advocating for other women to be educated about their health in general, but also how to advocate for themselves. What a powerful individual to be so incredible as a producer and respected, and also be able to share her vulnerable side.

Rachel is a G for the way she spoke-up for herself. It took me four years to make the doctors listen to me about my chest pain, because they all thought it was "psychosomatic". . . Turns out I had rips in my lungs and literally every rib was broken, plus a hairline fracture along my neck. "Psychosomatic" my ass.

i was sitting here an absolute WRECK at hearing rachel's and tori's experiences with cancer but then at 8:50 tori looks at the camera and says TIDDY PANCAAAAKES and the laugh that gave me was so priceless

The fact that with Rachel they found something, made her feel guilty about it, and then it ended up being cancer again?? that's so appalling. she knew her body and she knew what she needed and when she was right and cancer tissue was found they had the audacity to say "and that's why we don't do these!". Rachel you are so strong!!

I really appreciated when the doctor mentioned that women of color have to be even more vigilant and ready for conversations about breast cancer. Many people like to push the āweāre all the sameā āI donāt see race or colorā agenda and I believe, for some itās well intended, but itās dangerous. The fact is, weāre not all the same. Ignoring the disparities between us doesnāt help anyone, especially when it comes to health. Women of color are at a much higher risk for certain cancers, sickle cell and various other chronic or life threatening physical and mental illnesses. We have a much shorter life expectancy than white women. We are 4 times more likely to die during child labor than white women. We are also less likely to receive adequate medical care. These are harsh realities that women of color live with and unfortunately these problems have been ignored in medicine for far too long. The medical world either wasnāt ready to, or didnāt care to, talk about the root of the issue; epi-genetics, racially specific generational trauma (i.e slavery, segregation, the holocaust, genocide, abject poverty, etc.) and socio-economic status. We donāt live in a post racial world. Race isnāt superficial, it isnāt just melanin, or a lack thereof, itās history, generational trauma, shared experiences and communal behaviors. Itās just as much a part of who we are, and just as relevant to conversations about health, as gender, sex, sexual orientation and age. We donāt pretend that male people are the same as female (or intersex) people medically. We donāt pretend that babies are the same as elderly people medically. Why should we pretend that all races are the same medically? I appreciate the new wave of doctors, like the one in this video, who are coming in to the medical field acknowledging this and acting accordingly. I, of course, respect the OGs who have been advocating for race to be taken into account during evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, for years now. We like the Try Guys for stupid humor but they also open the door for important conversations wit videos like this. I love that!

The way this doctor validated Rachelās post trauma anxiety is so rare, but seeing it is so wonderful. An intense reaction to an intense memory is totally normal. I sobbed here because it shouldnāt be so hard to be validated by a doctor when you are so scared.
