Kate's on holiday, so Gemma welcomes a special guest Georgie Swallow. Most women are left in the dark about the true impact of medical menopause; by the time they realise the symptoms, they've already experienced years of chaos. Gemma and Georgie uncover how treatment for blood cancer and other conditions can push women into early menopause without warning, leaving them feeling lost, misunderstood, and unprepared for the rollercoaster ahead. In this eye-opening episode, they share their personal journeys through medical menopause and reveal the often-overlooked symptoms, from temperature regulation chaos to brain fog and memory lapses. They discuss how the healthcare system regularly fails to signpost women to the right support, and why menopause, even when triggered by cancer treatments. deserves more attention and understanding.
