Life After Ovarian Cancer: Navigating Surgical Menopause, Hormone Blockers, and Healing

Life After Ovarian Cancer: Navigating Surgical Menopause, Hormone Blockers, and Healing

Have you ever felt dismissed by doctors even though you knew something was wrong? Or struggled to feel like yourself again after a major health crisis?

In this episode, Dr. Polly Watson sits down with Jennifer Calogero to discuss her journey through ovarian cancer, surgical menopause, and long-term recovery. Together, they explore practical ways to advocate for your health, navigate hormonal upheaval, and support healing of both the body and mind.

🌸 Low-grade ovarian cancer is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, making self-advocacy a critical part of survival. 🌸 Surgical menopause can feel like falling off a hormonal cliff, affecting sleep, cognition, mood, and identity. 🌸 Cancer recovery doesn’t end when treatment stops—mental health and nervous system healing matter deeply. 🌸 Somatic therapy and breathwork can help regulate stress, process trauma, and reconnect with the body. 🌸 Open communication with medical providers can improve care but often requires persistence and clarity. 🌸 Community support beyond the medical system plays a vital role in long-term healing and resilience.

If you’re navigating cancer recovery, menopause, chronic stress, or simply feel disconnected from your body, this conversation offers validation, insight, and grounded tools to help you move forward with greater self-awareness and strength.
