Description

This week’s episode is a special collaboration with the brilliant team from Rad Chat; the multi-award-winning, first therapeutic radiographer–led oncology podcast. And they’re with us on the show today!

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara bring decades of frontline cancer experience, and in this joint conversation we explore menopause after cancer from both the patient and clinician perspective.

Together, we discuss:

  • Why menopause after cancer is so often overlooked in oncology
  • What clinicians are seeing in their day-to-day practice
  • How communication can improve so patients feel heard, supported and safe
  • What needs to change for future generations

If you’ve ever wished your oncology team better understood the impact of treatment-induced menopause, this episode is full of “finally, someone is saying this out loud” moments. 


You’ll love this one!


A huge thank you to Naman and Jo for collaborating with us.
