The Power and Perils of Self-Diagnosis in the Age of Google
A woman diagnosed herself with leukaemia using Google after being told by her GP that she had tonsillitis. Chloe-Leigh Todd, 22, experienced symptoms such as vomiting, night sweats, and weight loss, which led her to search for answers online. After securing a face-to-face appointment and a blood test, she was diagnosed with leukaemia and underwent six rounds of chemotherapy. She later received a bone marrow transplant and is now cancer-free, although she suffers from Graft vs Host disease. Chloe is grateful to be alive and tells her story to raise awareness about the importance of self-advocacy and early detection.
