Menopause and Cancer: WTF Now?

Menopause and Cancer: WTF Now?

You've survived cancer... so why don't you feel like yourself anymore?

In this deeply personal episode of Life After Cancer, Naomi shares the moment she finally realised that what she'd been feeling wasn't "just getting older" it was menopause after cancer.

After standing in the middle of the Hacienda Classics in Manchester, surrounded by incredible music, sunshine and friends, she was struck by one overwhelming feeling: exhaustion. Then came the realisation that life no longer felt colourful. Everything had become... sepia.

Naomi opens up about the side of menopause after cancer that nobody seems to talk about-fatigue, brain fog, losing your libido, vaginal dryness, feeling emotionally unplugged and grieving the version of yourself you used to be.

She also dives into one of the biggest questions facing many women after hormone-sensitive breast cancer: Can HRT ever be an option? Exploring the latest evidence, the debate around modern body-identical HRT, quality of life versus recurrence risk, and why personalised conversations with menopause specialists matter so much, this episode isn't about telling you what decision to make, it's about helping you ask the right questions.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I survived cancer... but I don't feel alive anymore," this episode is for you.

Because surviving cancer shouldn't mean settling for a life lived in sepia tone.
