“I’m a survivor and a thriver.” 💙
We are honored to share Keisha’s story from our Survivors and Thrivers Picnic.
Now six years cancer free, she reminds us of a few powerful things we never want our patients to forget:
Keep your doctor’s appointments.
Stay positive, even when it’s hard.
Lean on your family and support system.
And most importantly, never give up.
Keisha’s strength, resilience, and outlook carried her through treatment and continue to inspire everyone around her. Her message is simple but powerful. Your mindset, your support system, and staying on top of your care truly matter.
Stories like hers are exactly why early detection, consistent follow-up, and support throughout the journey are so important.
If you have been putting off an appointment, let this be your reminder.
Uterine fibroids are extremely common, yet many women are living with symptoms without realizing what is causing them.
Fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that can vary in size and number. While some women have no symptoms at all, others may experience:
• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pressure or pain
• Frequent urination
• Bloating or a feeling of fullness
• Pain during in*******se
If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, you do not have to simply “push through it.”
Our team at the Center for Gynecologic Oncology evaluates and treats patients with uterine fibroids and is here to help you find answers and relief.
Today we gathered at CB Smith Park for our annual Survivors and Thrivers Picnic 💙
This day is all about our patients and the incredible strength they show every step of the way. It is a chance to step outside of the clinical setting and come together in community, connection, and celebration.
We are honored to spend time with our survivors and thrivers, hear their stories, and witness the resilience, courage, and hope that continue to inspire us every day.
We will be sharing more moments from today over the next few weeks because there are too many meaningful memories not to.
Today was about celebrating resilience, healing, community, strength, growth, surviving and thriving.

Early menopause is not just about symptoms. It can affect long-term heart health. 💙
New research shows that women who go through natural menopause before age 40 may face a significantly higher lifetime risk of coronary heart disease.
Premature menopause affects an estimated 3 to 4 percent of women. The earlier loss of estrogen can lead to changes in the body over time, including shifts in cholesterol, blood pressure, metabolism, and body composition. These changes can increase the risk of heart disease later in life.
The key takeaway is awareness and prevention.
Recognizing early menopause allows for closer monitoring and the opportunity to take proactive steps to support heart health.
If you have questions about menopause or changes in your health, we are here to help.
This season is a reminder of renewal, hope, and new beginnings—something we are honored to be part of in the lives of our patients every day.
May your day be filled with health, happiness, and time with those you love.

Wishing all who celebrate a meaningful and joyous Passover.
Passover is a time of reflection, resilience, and renewal—values that deeply resonate with the journeys we witness every day. We are inspired by the strength of our patients and the hope that carries them forward.
May this season bring peace, health, and time with loved ones.

March is ending, but awareness shouldn’t.
🌸 It’s , and Dr. Jacob Tangir, wants to shed light on why this condition can be tricky to diagnose.
Endometriosis often doesn’t show up on ultrasounds, MRIs, or CT scans—making it a “diagnosis of exclusion.” If you experience pelvic pain, painful periods, or discomfort during in*******se, and tests come back normal, it could still be endometriosis. In some cases, a laparoscopy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Don’t ignore your symptoms. Early evaluation can make all the difference.
Happy National Doctors’ Day to Our Exceptional Physicians 💙
Today we celebrate the expertise, compassion, and dedication of our incredible team:
Emery M. Salom, MD,
Jacob Tangir, MD,
Jonathan Black, MD,
Taralyn Sowby, DO, and
John Siemon, MD.
Board certified and exceptionally well-trained, they are among the most trusted physicians to diagnose and treat complex gynecologic conditions. More importantly, they bring empathy, reassurance, and unwavering support to every patient they care for.
We are proud to have them leading the way for our patients and our community.
During Endometriosis Awareness Month, Dr. Siemon explains what’s really happening inside the body.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus — in places like the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvis. These cells still respond to hormones each month, which can lead to inflammation, internal bleeding, and over time, scar tissue and chronic pelvic pain.
Common signs to watch for:
✨ Severe or worsening period pain
✨ Chronic pelvic pain
✨ Pain during in*******se
If your pain feels different, more intense, or is interfering with your daily life, it’s important to listen to your body.
You don’t have to push through it, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Our team is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day together, and we’re reminded how lucky we are to care for such amazing patients and work alongside such a dedicated group.
Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
