Foundation for Women's Cancer

Black women are disproportionately impacted by uterine cancer and are more likely to face aggressive forms of the disease.

Awareness matters. Early detection matters. Being heard matters.

These conversations, between patients and providers, can play a critical role in recognizing symptoms, supporting timely evaluation, and improving outcomes.

This isn’t normal.

And too many women are told it is.

Heavy bleeding.
Bleeding after menopause.
Pelvic pain that won’t go away.
Changes that feel different than your normal.

These symptoms may be your body trying to tell you something.

Don’t ignore them.
Don’t wait.

Save this. Share this. Send this to someone you love. Start the Conversation.

The Foundation for Women's Cancer was proud to be part of Health & Wellness Night presented by University of Chicago Medicine and the Chicago Sky last week.

Events like these create opportunities to connect communities with trusted health information, encourage important conversations, and raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of gynecologic cancer.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about our mission and the work being done to advance gynecologic cancer research, education, and public awareness. Together, we can empower more women, families, and caregivers with the knowledge they need to advocate for their health.

💜 Awareness starts with a conversation.

Say hello to Cuterus! 💗

She's cute, she's curious, and she's here to help us talk more openly about gynecologic health.

You'll be seeing Cuterus pop up throughout the year sharing facts, healthy habits, symptom awareness, reminders to listen to your body, and maybe a few smiles along the way.

Because conversations about women's health shouldn't feel scary, awkward, or overwhelming.

They should feel approachable.
They should feel normal.
And they could save lives.

One night. One legacy. One incredible impact. 💜

Sing4Her brought together Broadway performers, advocates, supporters, and families for an unforgettable evening honoring Ilene Greenfield while raising over $7,500 to support gynecologic cancer research, education, and public awareness.

Created by her granddaughter, Samantha Kotok, Sing4Her transformed personal loss into purpose, reminding us that every story, every voice, and every act of generosity can help move the mission forward.

Thank you to the 140+ attendees both in person and online, talented performers, and supporters who made this special evening possible.

June is Uterine Cancer Awareness Month.

Uterine/endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States, yet many women don't know the signs or realize that symptoms such as abnormal bleeding may be a reason to talk with a healthcare provider.

The good news? Uterine cancer often presents with noticeable symptoms, creating opportunities for earlier detection and treatment.

This month, we're sharing information, resources, and real stories to help women recognize symptoms, trust their bodies, and start important conversations about their health.

We're also encouraging everyone to .

Ask about the symptoms.
Ask about the checkup.
Ask how she's doing.

One conversation could make all the difference.

Learn the signs.
Start the conversation.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, and screening is one of the most powerful tools we have. 💜

New cervical cancer screening guidelines supported by SGO, in partnership with ASCCP, give people more options for screening, including:
• Pap testing
• HPV testing
• Co-testing
• Self-collected HPV testing

These guidelines apply to everyone who has a cervix, even if you feel healthy and have no symptoms.

Talk with your healthcare provider about which screening option is right for you. Then remind someone you love to do the same.

Early conversations can save lives.
