Tamika Marshall - Uterine Cancer Survivor Since 2015

In 2015, my life changed with three unexpected words: “You have cancer.” I was diagnosed with uterine cancer, and although my battle was brief, the emotional rollercoaster was real. Fear, confusion, and uncertainty tried to take over—but my faith, family, and the incredible care team at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center kept me grounded.

I was blessed with a successful surgery and recovery, but I knew I couldn’t walk away unchanged. That’s when Lady T Hope Brigade was born. I took my pain and turned it into purpose—to support, love, and uplift others walking the same scary road I once did.

Now, nearly a decade later, I’m still standing strong—and helping others know they don’t have to fight alone.

Belinda Covington - Stage 2 Aggressive Breast Cancer 2018

I found my lump by accident when I got to close to a doorway entrance and I had to swipe my arm across my right breast. And the pain was horrible so I looked in the mirror and I saw a knot under my skin. And that Monday I made sure I called my PCP this all happened on Labor Day weekend of 2018. My PCP scheduled the appointment for mammogram and ultrasound which I get mammograms thoroughly every year. I did 12 rounds of intravenous chemo and 30 rounds of radiation. I did 6 months of oral chemo medication. The radiation was rough it burned me and opened my incision where I had lymph nodes removed. I still have tenderness in that area from all the radiation because it was so intense. But I'm a survivor.

Tracey Bell - Carcinoid Tumor 2023

I was diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor. It was found at the end of my intestines and the beginning of my rectum. Which was causing me trouble to use the bathroom. When you hear the word cancer, your whole world changes. You start thinking the worst and that you're going to die. When I first heard that I had it I was in shock. The doctor was talking to me but I couldn't hear anything after he said I had cancer. With so many tests after test after test they finally came to a conclusion that the tumor needed to be removed. No radiation treatment!! I still lost some hair at the top because of the stress and the medication I was taking. But there is a God. And I am healed. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Adrienne Butler - Uterine Cancer 2015

For nearly ten years, I have been courageously battling Stage 4 Uterine Cancer. Despite being told by doctors that I wouldn’t make it to the end of the year, I have defied the odds, thriving and kicking cancer's ass every step of the way. My journey has not only been a testament to my strength but also an inspiration to those around me. I continue to attend doctor visits, manage my health, and care for my family, all while providing encouragement and support to others facing similar struggles.

As I continue to celebrate my journey I strive to impact all that I encounter. Instead of focusing solely on myself and the type of cancer that I struggle with, I have a desire to do a Not All Cancer is Pink; All Cancers Matter Cancer Walk every February. This February will mark the third year that my nonprofit, Boogie Down Ministries, has executed this vision.
