Menopause Care after Breast or Gynecological Cancer

Cancer treatment can bring on menopause suddenly, sometimes overnight, or complicate the menopause you were already navigating. Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and hormone-blocking therapies can all trigger symptoms without warning — often at a time when your care team is focused on treatment and survival, and menopause gets left for later.

Later is now. And you deserve a doctor who has the time to actually get into it with you.

What This Visit Looks Like

Your first visit is 90 minutes — longer than a standard new patient visit — because your history deserves that time. We'll go through your full cancer history and treatments together, so I understand exactly what you've been through and what that means for your options going forward.

This includes care for:

  • Breast cancer

  • Uterine, ovarian, or fallopian tube cancer

  • Cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancer

  • Menopause caused by cancer treatment, surgery, or an early natural transition

BRCA and Risk-Reducing Surgery

Individualized. Not Automatic.

Getting Started

If you carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and have had (or are planning) risk-reducing surgery to remove your ovaries, you're facing a different situation than someone in active cancer treatment — and your options may be different too.

Removing your ovaries before natural menopause brings on sudden, often severe symptoms, and it also carries its own long-term health risks if left unaddressed — to your bones, your heart, and your brain. For many women in this situation, especially those without a personal history of breast cancer, hormone therapy is a safe and often strongly recommended option, not something to be ruled out by default.

We'll talk through your specific mutation, your personal and family history, and what the evidence actually says for someone in your situation — so you're making this decision with real information, not just caution passed down without explanation.

Hormone therapy is not right for everyone — and that's especially true after a cancer diagnosis. I won't hand you a protocol. We'll talk through what's known, what's still being studied, and what fits your specific diagnosis, treatment history, and goals. Non-hormonal options are always part of that conversation, and you'll leave with a clear picture of your choices, not just mine.

You are the one making the decision about your body. My job is to make sure you have everything you need to make it — informed, unhurried, and without judgment either way.

Your new patient cancer-survivor visit is $600 for 90 minutes. Insurance is not accepted, but a superbill is provided for every visit so you can seek reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are welcome.
