"TikTok told me I have cancer," summarized 22-year-old American Aroh Mankad regarding his experience with the youth platform. He shared how his first appearance on TikTok saved his life. He revealed that a short video he posted prompted many of his followers to inquire about the swelling of his thyroid, stating, "I received numerous messages asking about the cause of the swelling." He added that these questions led him to consult a doctor, as reported by the "Daily Mail," where it turned out he had a cancerous nodule.
Mankad later posted an update video announcing that he underwent surgery to remove the cancerous part of his thyroid, which was discovered after many TikTok users urged him to get checked. He clarified that he decided to visit his doctor out of extreme caution after receiving the warnings, admitting that he would not have discovered there was something abnormal if it weren't for the users' keen observations.
