For many women diagnosed with cancer, conversations about hormones end before they’ve even begun. They’re often told they can never take hormone treatment again, without being given the evidence, the options or the opportunity to make an informed choice.
In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by women’s health nurse and educator Jill Chmielewski to discuss why so many women are denied balanced information about hormones after cancer, and why this needs to change.
Together, they explore the widespread misconceptions surrounding hormones, the importance of understanding physiology rather than relying on outdated assumptions, and why decisions about treatment should always consider both long-term health and quality of life.
Whether you’ve had cancer yourself, are supporting someone who has, or simply want to better understand the role hormones play in lifelong health, this episode offers reassurance, evidence and hope.
