A mother of two Chatgpt credits for saving her life, claiming that the artificial intelligence Chatbot marked the condition that led her to her cancer when the doctors lost it.
Lauren Bannon, which time between North Carolina and the Virgin Islands of the United States, noticed for the first time in February 2024 that was having problems bending fingers in the morning and night, as reported by Kennedy News and Media.
After four months, doctors told the 40 -year -old who had rheumatoid arthritis, despite negatively trying the condition.
Bannon, owner of a marketing company, began experiencing unbearable stomach pains and lost 14 pounds in just a month, which doctors blamed the acid reflux.
Desperate to identify the cause of his symptoms, Bannon turned to Chatgpt, the great language model made by OpenAi.
The chatbot told Bannon that Hashimoto’s disease can have, an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system erroneously attacks the thyroid gland, which makes it inflate and any little active, according to Kennedy News and Media.
Despite his doctor’s reserves, Bannon insisted on being tested for the condition in September 2024, and was surprised to discover that Chatgpt was correct, despite the absence of any family history.
This led the doctor to perform an ultrasound of Lauren’s thyroid, when they discovered two small packages in their neck that were confirmed as cancer in October 2024.
“I needed to find out what was happening to me, I felt so desperate. Simply shaving the answers I needed.”

Bannon states that he would never have found hidden cancer without Chatgpt’s help, which gives him credit to help him save his life.
“I felt disappointed by doctors,” said Bannon, as reported by Kennedy News and Media. “It was almost as if they were only trying to give medications so that anything will enter and go through the door.”
“I needed to find out what was happening to me, I felt so desperate. Simply shaving the answers I needed.”
Bannon said he had the leg that chatgpt used for work. When he asked the chatbot about which medical conditions they mimic the rheumatoid arthritis of which he responds: ‘He can have hashimotos disease, ask his doctor to review his levels of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO). “
After his cancer diagnosis in January 2025, Bannon underwent an operation to remove the thyroid and two lymph nodes from his neck. Now it will remain under lifelong monitoring to ensure that cancer does not return, according to the report.
Due to not presenting with typical Hashimoto’s disease, Bannon believes that his condition and the diagnosis of subfreente cancer would have remained without detecting without the help of Chatgpt.
“I didn’t have the typical symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease: I was tired or felt exhausted,” he said, according to Kennedy News and Media.
“If I had searched in Chatgpt, I would only do tasks of the drug drug and cancer would extend from my neck everywhere smoothes.”
“I saved my life. I never discovered this without Chatgpt. All my tests were perfect.”
Bannon encourages others to use chatbot to investigate their own health coneros, but “act with caution.”
“If you give something to look for, ask your doctors to try it,” he suggested. “You can’t do any Har. I feel lucky to be alive.”
Dr. Harvey Castro, emergency medicine doctor certified by the National Board and speaker on artificial intelligence based in Dallas, Texas, said he appreciates the role of AI tools such as Chatgpt to create awareness and cause faster action.
“IA is not a replacement for human medical experience,” he told Fox News Digital. “These tools can help, alert and trust equally, but cannot diagnose, examine or treat.”
“When used responsible, AI can improve the results of medical care, but when used in isolation, it can be dangerous,” Castro continued. “We must prioritize patient safety and keep medical professionals licensed in the center of care.”
Fox News Digital communicated with Openi, Maker or Chatgpt, to comment.
