In this episode, we listen to Nicole, founder of The Surmeno Connection share her tale of discovering ovarian cancer in her 20's, coming to terms with the possibility of not having children and being thrown into surgical menopause, all within a few months. The lack of education and support led Nicole to partner up with Stacey with her own unique experience to co-found a community and website, sharing practical resources and emotional support for those recently having had an oophorectomy or hysterectomy or induced into early menopause due to treatment or medication. We hear how Nicole coped with surgical menopause and the tools with hindsight she is able to share. Do listen to how Nicole soared from a dark place to one of light and share your thoughts on the episode by following and reviewing us.

Helen Kemp also has just released a book, Surgical Menopause: Not Your Typical Menopause. An account of 12 women's experiences around their surgical menopause with helpful tips for preparing before and after the op, alongside a life with no oestrogen. It's a fabulous read.
