Description
In this episode, I’m doing something a little different.I’m sharing real stories of who I met, what went on in our menopause after cancer community, and real experiences of what menopause after cancer actually feels like. The parts that often go unspoken.I mull over if menopause after cancer needs a rebrand?What does it mean to set realistic expectations?And alongside that, I’m answering your questions.From hair to how long does menopause last to GLP-1’s and risk — this is a space to bring it all together.Because so often, we’re told what should happen…but not what it really feels like to live through it.And because sometimes the best meaning advice is hard to implement for yourself - right at the end, I’m reading a beautiful poem to you by Jeff Foster - it’s called: Slow Down Friend.You’re not alone in this. And there are ways to feel better.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro05:42 Discussing menopause after cancer support17:40 Answering listener questions on hair thinning20:54 Diagnosing and treating hair loss23:04 Discussing hair fibres and re-growth helmets25:55 Discussing menopause after ovary removal29:33 Managing cancer treatment and lifestyle risks32:11 Considering whole patient health35:26 Finding solace in the poem, Slow Down FriendEpisode mentions:Episode 118: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-118-what-is-the-evidence-between-hrt-and-breast/id1631842514?i=1000666722248Episode 191: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-191-i-cant-shift-the-weight-should-i-consider/id1631842514?i=1000736358058Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
