Women diagnosed with cancer encounter major gaps in menopause care — a crucial, overlooked aspect of survivorship.
It’s time to change that.
When a woman is diagnosed with cancer, the primary focus is survival. While the current standard of care treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or hormone blockers, does save lives, their long-term effects on quality of life are rarely discussed with patients.
No matter who you are, or what phase you are in your cancer treatment, we are here to empower you with the information you need to navigate this journey with clarity, feeling empowered, confident and supported.
