Can you use menopausal hormone therapy after breast cancer?

The answer depends on several individual factors, including the type of breast cancer, whether it was hormone-receptor positive, your current symptoms, and your overall health history.

Systemic menopausal hormone therapy is generally not recommended after hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, but non-hormonal options and other treatments may help manage symptoms.

Explore the key considerations in this carousel and discuss your options with your healthcare and oncology teams.

Join us on October 24th for the Chicago Menopause Collective Retreat and learn from experts in menopause and women’s health.

Menopause care should not depend on where someone lives, what insurance they have, or whether they can find a provider who understands their symptoms.

Women deserve clear information, thoughtful conversations, and access to individualized care throughout perimenopause and menopause.

Awareness opens the conversation. Education builds understanding. Access gives women the opportunity to receive the support they need.

This Menopause Awareness Month, we are continuing to advocate for care that helps every woman feel heard, informed, and supported.

What would menopause care look like if every woman had access to the information and support she needed?

It would mean more women entering midlife prepared, informed, and confident. It would mean fewer women feeling overlooked or left to find answers alone.

Chicago Menopause Collective is leveling the playing field and ensuring every woman, regardless of background, has access to the education, resources, and trusted health care providers she needs to navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence. Much is proud to be part of the mission.

We’re grateful to have Much supporting this work as a Presenting Partner.

A good connection can open the door to new possibilities.

That idea has guided Connect Search since 2012, as its team has connected businesses with professionals whose experience and goals align with their needs.

“As a leader in the recruiting industry, I have seen firsthand how menopause can affect women at every level of the workforce. Illinois’ new workplace protections are an important step toward ensuring women feel supported, not sidelined, during this stage of life.”

– Erin Cook

When changes in sleep, mood, energy, and other symptoms start adding up, having time to explain what you’re experiencing matters.

Dr. Rajdeep Dhami of Avaya Med typically spends 90 minutes in an initial menopause consultation to understand the whole picture. Her approach considers symptoms alongside cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone health, as well as sleep, mental health, and preventive care.

A board-certified family physician and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Dr. Dhami also shares how her own experience with this stage of life has deepened her commitment to helping women feel heard and supported.
