Uterine Cancer


Chasity Jones's symptoms began in 2012 but were dismissed as perimenopause. Despite numerous procedures, including DNCs and biopsies, cancer went undetected for years. Persistent intuition and determination led to a diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in 2022.
Opting for a full hysterectomy and ovary removal, Chasity faced a challenging recovery with surgical menopause and a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. She found solace in nature, therapy, and a spiritual journey, emphasizing the importance of listening to one’s body and advocating for oneself.
Thank you, Chasity, for sharing your story to help others.
