Menopause Hit Me Like a Truck

Menopause after breast cancer? Nobody warned us it could hit THIS hard.In this episode of Boob Buddies: Scars to Stars, we’re talking about the side of survivorship that so many women experience — but few people prepare you for:early menopause, hormone blockers, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, exhaustion, low libido, sleep struggles, and feeling like you aged overnight.One minute you’re fighting cancer…and the next you’re waking up drenched in sweat at 2 AM wondering why your body suddenly feels completely different.We share our real experiences navigating surgical menopause, talk about chemo-induced menopause, hormone therapy side effects, and the emotional toll that comes with losing hormones overnight. We also talk about movement, nutrition, sleep, strength training, intimacy, self-advocacy, and learning how to support our bodies through survivorship.If you’ve ever thought:• “Why do I feel so different?”• “Is this normal?”• “Why didn’t anyone warn me about this?”• “Am I losing my mind?” …this episode is for you.You are not weak.You are not dramatic.And you are definitely not alone.💗 Subscribe to Boob Buddies: Scars to Stars for honest conversations about breast cancer, survivorship, healing, womanhood, and rebuilding life after diagnosis.
