Uterine Cancer Awareness Network was founded in September of 2019 by Shakeya Allen, a uterine cancer survivor diagnosed at 27 years old in 2009 after being misdiagnosed several times and could not advocate for herself because she knew nothing about the disease!

​

  In 2009 she realized that not much had changed except her life since her diagnosis. There was still a lack of awareness, research, and patient services. So, she started UCAN! She takes raising awareness seriously because you cannot protect yourself from something you do not know exists.

​

  Shakeya is a determined advocate for uterine cancer, healthcare disparities, and serving patients and survivors! Shakeya is enthusiastic about this organization and contributing to the uterine cancer community. Contact us for seminars, advocacy events, or vendor opportunities
