This presentation will provide a patient's perspective on a menopause diagnosis post treatment and also provide insight into their lived experience. The aim of this presentation is to inform medical professionals about the isolation and confusion cancer patients experience as they navigate fertility decisions and consequences. The impact of these circumstances on a patients’ life will be explored across the timespan of a patient’s cancer protocol, from pre to post treatment.
