In this episode, I’m joined by Rob and Andy, two partners navigating life alongside their wives through cancer and menopause.I actually asked in our Facebook community if anyone’s partners would be willing to come on the podcast… and these two were put forward by their wives — earning themselves serious brownie points in the process.This is a really honest conversation about what it feels like to be on the other side.We talk about the overwhelm, the uncertainty, and that feeling of wanting to help but not always knowing how. From the emotional impact to the mood changes, this episode sheds light on a perspective we don’t hear enough about.Because supporting someone through cancer and menopause doesn’t come with a manual — and partners need support and understanding too.And yes - I did bring up intimacy and low libido - and they did not just quit the call! I am so grateful to Rob and Andy! Thank you so much!If this resonates, do share this episode with your partner — so we can include them in this conversation too.This one is for you… and for them.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction04:13 Discovering and diagnosing cancer14:49 Discussing menopause challenges and support18:50 Discussing impacts of menopause21:49 Challenges in managing menopause symptoms22:55 Dealing with post-cancer anxiety30:41 Discussing intimacy post-cancer34:43 Importance of communication in relationships37:46 Discussing menopause and HRT advice42:05 Discussing medically induced menopauseConnect 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
