Menopause. A word we don’t have to think about until we’re at least 45 right? WRONG. This weeks episode is all about early menopause! We are joined by two incredible women, Sheree, who was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) at 15, and Ellie, who began the menopause following her extensive treatment for stage 4 cancer at just 15.

It wouldn’t be a menopause episode without talking about aaaaall the symptoms most of us have to look forward to, as well as treatments (yes there are treatments, we don’t just have to put up with it!), what the menopause actually means for our bodies and STOP THE PRESS… It turns out our ovaries produce much more than just eggs!

Our guests also tell us about the mental and physical effects of going through the menopause so young, their need to redefine what it means to be a woman and their plans for the future!

Sheree and Ellie share a few of their top tips and favourite resources for anyone else in their position, but please do go and have a gander at Ellie's simple and wonderfully informative booklet ‘A Young Woman’s Guide to Menopause After Treatment for Cancer’ written along side queen of the menopause Dr Louise Newson.

Thank you so much for listening!
