Dani BinningtonHOST
Do you know what? As someone who, like me, works in this menopause and cancer sort of field, and we've run the organization together for a long time now, menopause and cancer that is, and as someone, you personally, who really navigated their endocrine therapy and tried so hard to and then came off it for all of the menopause symptoms, I thought this conversation about SIRDS was hopeful, but I wanted to ask you, was it hopeful? What did you think when you listened to her?

Rachel BowmanGUEST
Oh my god I thought it was really interesting and I'd be intrigued to find out about them and I think if somebody offered me a trial right now to test them then I would take it because it sort of feels like what have I got to lose and it was interesting because in the conversation a lot has changed and even in the time that I've had cancer so my first diagnosis is coming up to four years ago and I think people who are diagnosed now have quite a different treatment plan to what I would have got back then.

Rachel BowmanGUEST
And we know that there are new medications and certainly the introduction of drugs that help manage certain menopause symptoms like the hot flushes.

Rachel BowmanGUEST
And I think if I could do anything, I would take away the hideous symptoms and side effects I had from the aromatase inhibitors, but know that I had some level of kind of risk reducing measure.
