Emma expected a few hot flushes and instead experienced a vast range of menopause related symptoms and issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Newson and Emma also discuss their first meeting at an event held by young adult cancer support charity,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trekstock.com\/\">Trekstock<\/a>. Dr Newson was speaking at the event, titled &#8216;Lifting the Lid on Cancer and the Menopause&#8217; and Emma talks about the effect it&#8217;s had on her to finally feel safe enough to ask questions and be able to get the correct advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emma&#8217;s Three Take Home Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In terms of hot flushes &#8211; layers are your friend! Even in the winter, wear items that are easy to take off and put back on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speak to everyone you can &#8211; whether that&#8217;s your peers or a medical professional. Knowing you are not alone can be a huge help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even though other people around you may be complaining about their periods &#8211; it&#8217;s okay to miss having your own. Talk to your friends about how you are feeling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at this booklet from Dr Newson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/menopause-library\/a-young-womens-guide-to-menopause-after-treatment-for-cancer-booklet\/\">&#8216;A Young Woman&#8217;s Guide to Menopause After Treatment for Cancer&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Emma McAuley, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6780,"template":"","subject":[36,47,58,65],"content-type":[17],"library-format":[14],"library-author":[],"class_list":["post-806","menopauselibrary","type-menopauselibrary","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","subject-cancer","subject-early-menopause","subject-hot-flushes","subject-patient-stories","content-type-podcast","library-format-listen"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary\/806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/menopauselibrary"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=806"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=806"},{"taxonomy":"library-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-format?post=806"},{"taxonomy":"library-author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-author?post=806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
