NHS Supporting Cancer Patients Through Menopause

This month (October 2025) is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance (KMCA) have announced that it’s working with Menopause and Cancer, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping cancer patients navigate the often-overlooked challenges of treatment-induced menopause.

Many individuals undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or endocrine therapy experience difficult menopausal symptoms, ranging from hot flushes and fatigue to emotional distress and cognitive changes. Yet, support for these symptoms can be hard to find.

To address this, Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance and Menopause and Cancer are working together to establish peer support groups tailored specifically for those facing menopause because of cancer treatment. These groups aim to provide a safe, understanding space for patients to share experiences, access resources, and feel less alone.

KMCA want to hear from you… Menopause and Cancer is conducting a short questionnaire to better understand what kind of support patients truly need. Patient voices can help shape future services and make sure no one faces these challenges without guidance and community.
