An Arizona woman had to go to three doctors before it was discovered that she has breast cancer.

Last October, she went in for her annual mammogram. The woman was told additional tests would be to be conducted, but was later relieved to find out that everything was fine. Her doctor’s office informed her that one of the doctors believed he found something in her exam, but later discovered it was benign. She was told the two different results were due to different regulations between states.

Unsatisfied with that explanation, she went to a third doctor where it was revealed she had breast cancer in both breasts. The woman also learned that guidelines for determining cancer is not handled by state, but is federally regulated.
