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.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-23T08:23:03.950928+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menopause-and-cancer-podcast-5554044"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 236 - The 5 Things I Know About Menopause After Cancer","slug":"episode-236-the-5-things-i-know-about-menopause-after-cancer","published_at":"2026-09-23T01:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menopause-and-cancer-podcast-5554044/episode-236-the-5-things-i-know-about-menopause-after-cancer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-menopause-and-cancer-podcast-5554044","url":"https://menopauseandcancer.org/podcast/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/f81a549b-129f-49c3-b25b-2afcb2eb94e5.mp3","summary":"After more than 200 episodes of conversations with doctors, researchers, therapists, cancer specialists and, most importantly, people navigating menopause after cancer themselves, I’ve learned a lot. Last week, a dream came true, and we hosted our first global menopause and cancer conference for healthcare professionals - and so for this episode, I’m doing something a little different. I’m sharing five things I now know to be true (I know, a bold statement!) about menopause after cancer. Things I’ve learned at the conference and things I’ve learned over the years. You might disagree with me - but here are mine (for today anyway!): There is rarely one “right” answer. Especially when it comes to HRT after cancer, risk and personal choice. Treatment shouldn't mean simply putting up with everything. We need to talk about the impact of treatments such as tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors — and what can be done to help. The things that might sound “small” can have an enormous impact. Hair, vaginal and bladder symptoms, painful sex, body changes — these things matter. Menopause after cancer isn't just physical. Anxiety, sleep, confidence, relationships, identity and that feeling of “Who am I now?” There is almost always something we can do. We need to look beyond the medical and expand our thinking. From non-hormonal medications and symptom-specific treatments to movement, sleep, psychological support, lifestyle and community — often it's about finding your own combination of things that help.
