A woman will likely remain on chemotherapy for the rest of her life and will never be able to have a child after she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer - that had already spread to other parts of her body - after being refused screening when she initially found a lump.Phelicia 'Bounty, who is now 35, discovered a lump in her breast while at the movies with her boyfriend in 2018. She knew something was wrong, but an initial ultrasound found a cyst and nothing more. La'Bounty suspected it was much worse and requested a mammogram, but was denied twice because she was only 29 years old - well below the average age of breast cancer diagnosis.The lump continued to grow though, eventually to the point where it was affecting how she fit in her clothes. When she returned to the doctor once again months later, now at age 30, she was finally given a mammogram - and then diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. It had also spread into her lungs, lymph nodes and sternum by that point.
