Episode 233 - When There’s No Right Answer: Making Difficult Decisions After Cancer

Making difficult decisions after cancer isn’t something we talk about enough.The kind where there isn’t a clear “right” answer.Where every option comes with trade-offs.Where you’re weighing up your long-term health, your quality of life… and sometimes, parts of your identity.In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Jen Delvaux — cancer survivor, podcast host, and founder of a thriving community in the US. Jen’s story is uniquely complex, with both her and her husband navigating cancer diagnoses, bringing a deeply personal perspective on survivorship.Together, we explore the realities of life after treatment — including sexual health, bone health, basically - all aspects of the often-overlooked impact of treatment-induced menopause.You can find Jen here: https://www.jendelvaux.com/And this is her podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not-today-cancer/id1436449587 and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jendelvauxPodcast Episode Mentions: Episode 215 - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-215-bone-health-after-cancer-menopause-what/id1631842514?i=1000764218500Episode 113 - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-113-the-impact-of-endocrine-disruptors-on/id1631842514?i=1000663146637Get a copy of Dani’s book here: https://amzn.eu/d/bjU18OMEpisode Highlights:00:00 Intro06:09 Living with cancer's emotional weight08:19 Discussing cancer treatment decisions12:21 First experience with symptom relief14:08 Diet and menopause insights17:17 Balancing health and happiness19:26 Living life to the fullest23:26 Coping with cancer as parents28:43 Discussing osteoporosis diagnosis32:04 Planning post-treatment support39:30 Discussing difficult health decisionsConnect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming’ on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer’: https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub Mentioned in this episode:Substack: https://danibinnington.substack.com/ Fundraiser Walk: And walk: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/thamesbridgestrekultrachallenge
