Endometrial Cancer Awareness
Welcome, my name is Tracy, and I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer during menopause in my 50s. I share my story to raise awareness, promote early detection, and advocate for fair healthcare- especially for communities that are historically overlooked when it comes to cancer care.
Know the signs. Trust your body. Speak up.
What is Endometrial cancer?
Endometrial cancer starts in the lining of the uterus, called the endometrial. It is one of the most common gynecologic cancers and is most often diagnosed after menopause.When found early, treatment is often more successful. That's why awareness matters.
Who is Affected?
* Endometrial cancer affects people of all races and backgrounds
* Most diagnoses happen after menopause
* African American women are more likely to be diagnosed later and have worst outcomesThese differences are often linked to delayed diagnosis and unequal access to care- Equity means ensuring everyone has access to early diagnosis, respectful care, and timely treatment.
