Attention Women Under 45!!

Have you been diagnosed with early breast cancer and treated with chemotherapy in past five years?

The treatment you received for your breast cancer may have caused you to experience the onset of early menopause.
Have you recently experienced: hot flushes, sweating, loss of concentration, lack of libido, and fatigue ???

If you can relate to this I would love to hear from you!!

I am inviting you to participate in a 45 min interview about your experience of breast cancer and the impact of becoming menopausal at an early age in your life.
The interview can be arranged at a time and location convenient for you.
Should you wish to continue with the study you will be invited to describe how your symptoms impact on your daily life, by writing in a journal or emailing your thoughts, over a period of one month.
Confidentiality and anonymity will be assured for all participants.

Having access to your experiences will provide important information for other women in similar circumstances and health professionals caring for them.

If this study interests you please contact me.
