Do you feel confused about your options? This podcast hosts conversations with cancer patients, survivors and medical professionals to learn about treatments available for women with a cancer diagnosis. I’m Dani Binnington, after breast cancer, surgery to remove my ovaries led me to early menopause, I had no idea what my treatment options were and who in my medical team could help me figure out what to do about my symptoms. I felt alone and unsupported. It took me so long to discover I had lots of options too. If only I’d known sooner! Everything I wish I’d known back then is inside these conversations - so you can make the right choices now. These episodes are a good place to start: 1. Rethinking Tamoxifen & Aromatase Inhibitors 2. Why I decided to take HRT after an oestrogen driven cancer 2. Alcohol & Me Menopause and cancer is also a thriving community online and in real life.

But when you hear this week’s conversation with Cay, a much-loved member of our community, you’ll understand why I had to share it. Cay’s story is a wild and wonderful mix of pleasure, perimenopause, cancer, heartbreak, healing, discovery and hope. We talk about: Why she thinks I should be wearing sexy underwear under my tracksuits. The spontaneous post-gym encounter that turned into a big life lesson. Tantra, trips to Costa Rica, and exploring sensuality later in life. How menopause, cancer, and GSM symptoms can make intimacy feel impossible. And how, despite it all, Cay has found her confidence, joy, and her “platinum years”. So yes, it’s a little spicy, full of adventure… but it’s also deeply human and full of heart. Thank you Cay!
