"Medical Student Diagnoses Her Own Cancer During Ultrasound Class"
A medical student, Sally Rohan, discovered her own thyroid cancer during an ultrasound class at New Jersey's Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine. Despite not having any symptoms, she stumbled upon the nodules and later underwent a year-long process to schedule appointments for further examination. Sally remains positive and believes that her experience will make her stronger, expressing gratitude that she found the cancer after being approved for Medicaid. She is scheduled for a CT scan and surgery, and although her medical school journey may differ from her peers, she plans to keep her options open and use her experience to help future patients.
