ChatGPT Discovers Cancer Doctors Miss, Saves Woman's Life

A woman credits ChatGPT with detecting a hidden cancer after doctors misdiagnosed her symptoms—ultimately saving her life.

A lady who divides her time between North Carolina and the US Virgin Islands has credited ChatGPT with discovering her hidden cancer and saving her life, according to the Mirror. The doctor dismissed her symptoms as acid reflux and rheumatoid arthritis, she claimed.

The New York Post (NYP) said that 40-year-old Lauren Bannon began losing weight quickly and suffered from severe stomach problems. She sought medical advice right away, but she claims that the physicians misdiagnosed her.

The chatbot determined that she could have Hashimoto's illness after she questioned ChatGPT in desperation. She was tested for the disease in spite of her physicians' concerns, and ChatGPT was confirmed to be accurate. Following this revelation, Lauren's thyroid was scanned, and the physicians found two little lumps in her neck that turned out to be cancer. The AI chatbot saved her life, according to Bannon.

According to the proprietor of the marketing firm, Lauren told Mirror that she felt disappointed by physicians. They seemed to be attempting to get you in and out the door by giving you medicine for anything. She felt so desperate that she had to know what was going on with her. She just wasn't receiving the necessary responses.

Lauren Bannon said that she wrote symptoms that resembled rheumatoid arthritis while utilizing ChatGPT for work. The answer advised assessing her thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO) levels and speculated that she could have Hashimoto's illness. She pushed for the test out of personal curiosity, even though her physicians rejected it because there was no family history. This investigation finally resulted in a diagnosis that stopped the cancer from spreading, even though she did not exhibit classic Hashimoto's symptoms. It saved her life, she thinks.
