If you've ever been told to "just deal with it" after a breast cancer diagnosis… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
Today I'm joined by Dr. Mindy Goldman, Chief Clinical Officer at Midi Health, internationally recognized menopause expert, and one of the leading voices on survivorship and women's midlife health. She's spent decades helping breast cancer survivors navigate the side effects no one prepares you for — from painful sex and vaginal dryness to surgical menopause, HRT questions, weight changes, and the emotional toll of treatment.
We dive into:
-
Vaginal estrogen after breast cancer — what's safe, what isn't, and what women aren't being told
-
HRT and cancer risk — the nuance every survivor should understand
- Why so many women suffer in silence — and what your doctors may be overlooking
-
The truth about surgical menopause, sexual health, mood changes, and long-term side effects
-
What survivorship should look like when care centers the whole person
Dr. Goldman's message is clear and empowering:
You do not have to accept suffering as your new normal. There are solutions for nearly every side effect — you just need the right guidance.
This conversation will leave you feeling informed, validated, and supported. Every woman deserves this information.
