Welcome to the first episode after the launch of Navigating Menopause After Cancer!

And what better way to begin than with one of the experts who helped shape it?

Today, I am joined by the brilliant Mr Vikram Talaulikar, Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and honorary Associate Professor at UCL.

In this episode, we dive back into a topic we’ve covered before — HRT after cancer — but this time, we’re expanding the conversation. We’re talking about the groundbreaking table on the use of HRT and local oestrogen after all types of cancer, which Mr Talaulikar developed for the book.

Together, we explore:

• Why so many cancer survivors receive conflicting advice about HRT
• The groundbreaking HRT safety table by Mr Talaulikar featured in Dani’s new book — and how it came together
• What patients and doctors really need to understand about HRT across all types of cancer
• Why real-world data, like the new PROMMIS study, is finally giving voice to those who’ve been left out of the research
• How survivors can advocate for themselves and bring these conversations into their appointments

This episode is honest, practical, and deeply empowering — and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
