Shelley Wilton, 56, endometrial cancer, Huntington, with Dr. Ursula Matulonis, Chief, Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Dana-Farber
- When Shelley was diagnosed with uterine endometrial stage 4 cancer in January 2020, she knew as soon as she heard the word cancer, she’d go to Dana-Farber.
- She began chemotherapy treatments a month after her diagnosis until the cancer began growing again in November 2020. A few months later, Shelley started on a clinical trial that she has been on for the past six months. Her scans have shown no convincing evidence of metastatic disease.
- Shelley recalls the quality of care received by friends and family for multiple myeloma at Dana-Farber and has experienced the same high level of care herself.
- Shelley has also been a chiropractor for 20 years in East Hampton, Massachusetts. She also loves being outdoors through gardening, paddle boarding, mountain biking, and hiking.
- Last October, she climbed Mount Katahdin in Maine and hiked 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to North Carolina in April. She maintains a positive outlook and does not let cancer stop her from living her life.
