More than 1800 women have shared experiences of feeling gaslit, being dismissed by doctors or being told their pain was in their mind as part of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age’s investigative series into medical misogyny in Australia’s healthcare system.

Among the most alarming stories are those of almost 60 women who detailed their delayed cancer diagnoses. Some spent years in pain or with symptoms that they said were fobbed off, treated with suspicion or misdiagnosed.

In this special episode, the Sydney woman explains how her cancer was missed by medical professionals. And how she is now facing the end of her life.
