Uterine or Endometrial Cancer

Muriel Linetsky is a Woman of Action

Muriel Linetsky is a woman of action.  When she first was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2021 and underwent a partial hysterectomy, she was surprised not to get any real follow-up from her medical team, or guidance on what to do next.  In her words, she was determined to figure out, “How to deal with this crap,” and she began searching uterine cancer resources online.

The Big C by Emily Chen

I knew it was bad news before I even answered the call. It was a Tuesday afternoon in June and BTS had just announced that they would be going on a “hiatus” - or were they breaking up?

“Hello?” I said into the phone, as I sat at my desk in our open plan office.

My Uterine Cancer Story by Kim Farnham

My name is Kim Farnham and I'm 54 years old. I bled heavily for years, and I was continually told it was normal; I was perimenopausal even though my bloodwork showed I wasn't. I was too young to have cancer and it couldn't be cancer because I wasn't in menopause.

Cancer Mantra by Doris White
