Tamoxifen and Menopause: What You Need to Know

→ Watch Kathryn's complete story on dealing with: • Surviving Breast Cance...
In this episode we meet Kathryn. Her abrupt entry into menopause due to treatments for breast cancer changed every aspect of her life.
Experiencing the trauma of cancer was challenging in itself, but using the drug tamoxifen that disrupted estrogen levels in her body meant that Kathryn experienced multiple severe perimenopausal symptoms overnight and all at once.
These symptoms, which include severe insomnia, depression and anxiety, have persisted for years. Kathryn has become a completely different person as a result of her experience. She went from active and engaged in all aspects of life to a woman who was totally shut down simply as a way to cope. She describes the path to her new normal - one that includes finding balance as well as learning how to sleep again.
Kathryn is one of millions of women suffering yet finding a way to keep on living and growing as a person. Let her story inspire, and perhaps even comfort you. Remember, you are not alone.
