That decision made all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Because she listened to her body and saw a doctor, Christine was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at an early stage. She went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, and today, she is cancer-free.<\/p>\n<p>Now, she has a simple plea for every woman: &#8220;Ladies, listen to your bodies! When something doesn&#8217;t seem right, see a doctor. It can make all the difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These days, Christine is living in gratitude, enjoying her grandchildren and looking forward to the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her journey, she drew strength from her husband, her family, and her dear friends. She also found it in something bigger: a community that cares. &#8220;So many facets of our community, like the Eagles, care enough to help out with resources that lead to better care and cures for everyone fighting cancer,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>For Christine, that&#8217;s exactly what makes the Eagles special. &#8220;Win or lose, the Eagles bring us together in celebration of our community,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The Eagles organization is easy to love, and this project is a perfect example.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her message to anyone facing cancer today is gentle and full of heart: &#8220;Put one foot in front of the other, every moment, every day. Please know that so many of us are in your corner. And you are in our prayers.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christine Young-Gertz Section C37, Row 10, Seats 24-25 Diagnosis: Endometrial Cancer Christine Young-Gertz received a warning sign, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1028310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,12186,128036,492,12107,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":["post-1028309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia-eagles","tag-eagles","tag-football","tag-gameday","tag-go-birds","tag-jalen-hurts","tag-jeffrey-lurie","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-philadelphiaeagles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117445550637702045","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1028309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1028309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1028309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1028310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1028309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1028309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1028309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
