About this listen
In this conversation, Margie Wilson talks to Fred Hutch Cancer Center's Bonnie Rochman about her experience being diagnosed with endometrial cancer and her evolution into a patient advocate for Black women. She discusses her initial symptoms and treatment, the challenges of navigating the medical system, and the importance of having open conversations about women's health and finding a supportive healthcare provider.
- Margie was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2016 after experiencing unexplained bleeding that she attributed to menopause.
- The first oncologist she saw was dismissive and rushed, but finding a compassionate and understanding doctor made a significant difference in her treatment experience.
- Brachytherapy was a key part of her treatment plan.
- Margie became involved with ECANA to advocate for Black women with endometrial cancer.
- Education and awareness are vital in saving lives and improving health outcomes for women.
