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.
