Rethink Real Talk: Menopause + Breast Cancer w/ Dr. Michelle Jacobson OBGYN
An empowering conversation answering your burning questions and unpacking all the noise around hormonal health, menopause and breast cancer.
Let’s be real, going through breast cancer is hard enough without the multitude of symptoms you weren't expecting like hot flashes, brain fog, fatigue, mood changes and the list goes on!
And while menopause may be having a moment, the solutions are not necessarily for those navigating breast cancer. There's a lot of noise around this hot topic, and we want to cut through the clutter to understand the right information, to be empowered in our overall wellbeing.
That’s why we’re so grateful to have an expert in our corner who can answer those burning questions and provide helpful information in an understandable and digestible way.
Dr. Michelle Jacobson OBGYN is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Coven Women’s Health and co-host of the Hysterical Women podcast. She is an internationally recognized expert in menopause, menopause after cancer, and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes —often described as “the doctor other doctors call.”
We’re excited for Dr. Jacobson to cut through all the noise and share her wisdom on menopause after breast cancer, hormonal impact, managing symptoms and more. Join us!
Please note the views and opinions expressed by our experts do not necessarily reflect the position of Rethink Breast Cancer.
*No, this is not a replacement for medical advice or regular check-ins with your healthcare team (your cancer case is unique and so are you).
