Ep 81 - What’s in Your Toolkit? - Menopause After Cancer Crash Course Part 02

Managing menopause after cancer needs a multi-faceted two-pronged approach. With that, I mean that most likely doing one thing alone won’t be enough and that we need to be proactive ourselves AND have the support from our medical team. I see the best results when women apply these strategies. So let’s look at who that medical team is for you, how an open mindset is going to give you the best outcome and why you really must find a community with shared experiences.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro.05:03 Consider all options, influences, and judgments.09:36 Seek to understand diverse experiences, find support, and empower oneself.About Dani:The Menopause and Cancer Podcast is hosted by Dani Binnington, menopause guide, patients advocate for people in menopause after a cancer diagnosis, and founder of the online platform Healthy Whole Me. There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well. Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences. I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field. And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.More educated, better informed and less alone.Connect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming’ on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer’: https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub Mentioned in this episode:Substack: https://danibinnington.substack.com/
