Breast Cancer & Menopause Part 1: Meet Suzanne Bull MBE, her ER+ breast cancer flung her into an immediate medical menopause slap bang in the middle of the Pandemic

This episode is the first of 4 episodes looking more closely at Breast Cancer and the Menopause. I’m talking to the irrepressible Suzanne Bull MBE about her estrogen positive breast cancer diagnosis in 2020 and being thrown into a medical menopause. How all that coupled with her disability made it doubly hard to pick apart her symptoms and add a global pandemic into the mix, it gave Suzanne some really tough conversations and hard choices. But as ever, she came out fighting.


Suzanne is founder of Attitude is Everything, a charitable organisation which connects disabled people with music & live events industries to improve access together. www.attitudeiseverything.org.uk
