Welcome to today’s episode where I want to sum up what numerous doctors have shared with me over the years. In this episode we are going to explore:

• why you are most likely experiencing challenges in getting the right help with your menopausal symptoms. 
• We will go through all the symptoms associated with the menopause and why it might be confusing to know what’s what. Is it brain fog or is it still chemo brain? 
• And I will share my flow chart of all your treatment options with you. This will give you an overview - of what’s in your menopause after cancer toolkit.

In the upcoming episodes, I’ll be joined by experts who will help us dive deeper into these important topics. So stay tuned and embrace this journey of exploration. At the end, I’ll share how you can connect with a menopause specialist if you feel you need that extra support.

This episode was recorded in the presence of our incredible community, and I’ll be sharing some of their valuable comments and reflections with you as well.

Here’s to learning, growth, and feeling more supported together!
