Monyetta Shaw-Carter Completes Breast Cancer Treatment

Monyetta Shaw-Carter, a recurring cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer in November 2024 after noticing an unusual sensation during a self-exam. Despite having a benign biopsy ten years earlier, her vigilance and a routine mammogram led to early detection of the cancer. She underwent a lumpectomy in January 2025 followed by 16 rounds of radiation, completing her treatment in May 2025. Shaw-Carter described the diagnosis as one of the hardest moments of her life and credits early detection and her medical team for her recovery. She is now cancer-free and advocates for regular self-checks and early screenings, emphasizing the importance of listening to one’s body. Shaw-Carter hopes her experience inspires others to prioritize their health.
