Let’s Talk About Menopause and Cancer – Patient information booklet

This booklet provides information to those who have been impacted by menopause as a result of cancer treatment.

The aim of this booklet is:

To support people through sharing knowledge and information.

To increase people’s knowledge and awareness about menopause following cancer treatment.

To direct people to resources, information and support.

Sometimes menopause can be induced by certain cancer treatments. This can be distressing and confusing, alongside dealing with your cancer diagnosis, symptoms and the side effects of treatment.   Managing menopausal symptoms after cancer can also be challenging and more severe than after natural menopause.

This booklet has been created to help those of you who may be experiencing menopause because of your cancer treatments.  We hope that being prepared for some of the symptoms that can arise, will empower you to seek advice and support when you need it.
