Famous Women Who Battled Gynecological Cancers
Yvette Wilson
Yvette Wilson got her big break on the short-lived sitcom “Thea.” Despite the show’s quick cancellation, Wilson’s career took off and soon she was cast in “Moesha” as Andrell Wilkerson and later left that show for its spin-off “The Parkers.” Despite her success, Wilson was facing mounting medical bills that she incurred while battling both cervical cancer and kidney disease. Friends created a website for fans to donate money to help with her rising medical costs. Sadly, Wilson passed away from cancer in 2012 at the age of 48.
