77: Alex Isaac on Surgically Induced Menopause and Hormone Therapy
Manage episode 381821256 series 3398616
Alex Isaac is back this week to discuss her surgically induced menopause following a risk-reducing hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy and the benefits of starting immediate hormone therapy.
We also discuss Sarah, Alex's sister and her fight for hormone therapy, due to her breast cancer history, and the life-changing impact when she finally found a GP who supported her.
We debate the urgent need for medical professionals to have a much deeper knowledge of menopause treatments and hormone therapies, particularly for women who have experienced induced menopause at such a young age.
This episode is not just a conversation, but a beacon for every woman navigating an induced menopause journey.
