Description

Finding our silver linings can be tough when we are navigating menopause after cancer, and it involves acknowledging the existence of challenges or hardships while actively seeking and appreciating the positive aspects that may arise from those experiences. Today, on the show I am inviting my husband Tim to talk to us and we will remember our silver linings in all those years of navigating cancer survivorship. We had so many positive experiences happen to us because of cancer, even though both of our careers changed completely - and of course, we talk you through what happened on Dragons’ Den!You can find Tim’s invention here: https://www.mantahair.com/ and the discount code is: MC20Download your FREE Getting Started Guide here: https://menopauseandcancer.org/getting-started-guide/Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro04:36 Overcoming anxiety and overwhelm through exercise and focus.07:38 Focused on well-being during cancer treatment16:23 Where the Manta hairbrush came from.17:50 Early dedication and investment in a business venture surprises the family.22:04 Lack of oestrogen affects hair.25:33 Going on Dragons' Den.About Dani:The Menopause and Cancer Podcast is hosted by Dani Binnington, menopause guide, patients advocate for people in menopause after a cancer diagnosis, and founder of the online platform Healthy Whole Me. There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well. Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences. I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field. And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.More educated, better informed and less alone.Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub Mentioned in this episode:Subscribe to the Menopause and Cancer YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@MenopauseandCancer

Has cancer treatment led you to early menopause? Do you feel confused about your options? This podcast hosts conversations with cancer patients, survivors and medical professionals to learn about treatments available for women with a cancer diagnosis.  I’m Dani Binnington, after breast cancer, surgery to remove my ovaries led me to early menopause, I had no idea what my treatment options were and who in my medical team could help me figure out what to do about my symptoms. I felt alone and unsupported. It took me so long to discover I had lots of options too. If only I’d known sooner! Everything I wish I’d known back then is inside these conversations - so you can make the right choices now.  These episodes are a good place to start: 1. Rethinking Tamoxifen & Aromatase Inhibitors  2. Why I decided to take HRT after an oestrogen driven cancer 2. Alcohol & Me Menopause and cancer is also a thriving community online and in real life.  Join the Facebook community to connect with women going through the same thing you are: https://www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
