One out of ninety women will develop ovarian cancer in her lifetime. It is the second most common gynecologic cancer and the fifth leading cause of death among women from cancer. Roughly 25% percent of ovarian cancer is hereditary. If a woman is a carrier of one of the gene mutations associated with ovarian cancer, her risk is strikingly higher than the risk of the general population.  But most women who carry this genetic mutation…don’t know it. 

 My guest is Dr. Michelle Jacobson, an internationally recognized expert in menopause and cancer survivorship who has dedicated her professional life to educating women about hereditary cancer syndromes- who should be screened, and what to do with that information. She is an assistant professor at the university of Toronto, the chief of OBGYN for Osler Health Systems and the lead author of The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada Clinical Guidelines on menopause management after breast cancer and is also the host of the Hysterical Women’s Podcast.

We also discuss prevention and detection of ovarian cancer if you do not have a genetic predisposition.

Women who are in the throes of menopause are never thrilled about having hot flashes, but they aren’t particularly surprised by them.  It’s other symptoms that often blindside women, including symptoms that are not often associated with menopause.
Esoteric symptoms are different than unusual symptoms. 
An unusual symptom is something that rarely occurs. An esoteric symptom, on the other hand, is one that occurs commonly, but is rarely discussed and often not well understood.
