Earlier this year, Maryse opened up about her battle with pre-cancerous tumors. Recently, Brandi Rhodes shared her struggles with Endometriosis, crediting Maryse’s story for giving her the courage to keep pushing for a diagnosis.
Brandi described feeling helpless after seeing multiple doctors who didn’t find the cause of her pain. However, upon hearing about Maryse’s fight with pre-cancer and her surgery, Brandi felt inspired to keep searching for answers. Maryse, 41, had a hysterectomy to remove the tumors.
Sharing Stories Leads to Support
Maryse saw Brandi’s post and responded on her Instagram story. She admitted to being emotional about Brandi’s words and the positive impact her story had. Maryse knew sharing her experience might be difficult, but she felt it was important to help others.
She mentioned many women, including Brandi, shared similar stories of feeling unheard by doctors. Maryse is glad her story helped Brandi fight for her health and encourages all women to do the same. If a doctor’s answer isn’t satisfying, keep searching until you feel heard.
It’s heartwarming to see these two wrestlers supporting each other and bringing awareness to important women’s health issues.
