Tonya shares her journey of discovering she had Uterine Carso-Sarcoma, her determination to survive, and the long-term effects of chemo and radiation treatments. We delve into topics such as how women grieve the loss of body parts, their concerns about attractiveness to partners/spouses, and the sexual difficulties resulting from cancer treatments and hysterectomy. Throughout, Tonya emphasizes the mindset needed to survive and thrive during cancer.
We also explore the importance of trusting one's instincts about one's body's health and advocating for oneself in healthcare. Tonya discusses the inception of her podcast, Power Pantaloons, aimed at supporting others facing cancer, and underscores the significance of education and advocacy in healthcare.
