This Menopause Awareness Month, Boots and Macmillan Cancer Support are raising awareness of early menopause caused by cancer treatment, highlighting the experiences of those impacted and the support available through their partnership. If you'd like to learn more about menopause and cancer, you can read our latest Community News blog by clicking this link.
This discussion thread is a dedicated space for Community members to come together to support each other with early menopause-related concerns.
Early menopause onset by cancer treatment is a concern for lots of our Community members and this is a dedicated space for you to share personal experiences and connect with others who share similar experiences. You may find it helpful to join some of our Cancer type forums to hear the specific experiences of others diagnosed with the same cancer.
Just remember that people of any background, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be diagnosed with cancer. Please be welcoming and supportive when talking to others.
Should you need any help with using the Online Community, please email community@macmillan.org.uk or send a private message to the Moderator account.
