Medical Gaslighting: They Said It Was An Eating Disorder - Bella | Paraganglioma | The Patient Story

Bella, a 30-year-old from Australia, was misdiagnosed for years with anorexia and anxiety before doctors finally discovered her rare, malignant paraganglioma. Starting at just 15, Bella experienced extreme symptoms, from constant vomiting and tooth decay to a dangerously low heart rate. Despite seeking help from multiple doctors, her symptoms were dismissed as psychosomatic. At 21, a new doctor uncovered the truth—a massive tumor entwined with her vagus nerve. Bella's life turned upside down as she underwent 15 surgeries, radiotherapy, and a journey of physical and emotional healing.
