Welcome to Cancer Chat, Placebo.

It sounds like you’ve been through a lot with your treatment, and being put into early menopause on top of everything else must be such a difficult shift to cope with. Many people here will understand how tough that can be, both physically and emotionally.

You mentioned avoiding reading too much in case it brings on more symptoms, and that’s completely understandable. Sometimes just getting through the day is enough without the added worry.

If you feel it might help to speak with someone medically trained, our team of nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. They’re there to listen and talk things through.

I hope others who’ve been through something similar will spot your post and share their own experiences or tips for coping.

And just a gentle reminder - you’re not on your own with this. We’re here to listen.

Best wishes,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
