Hello Hormones with Dr. Carrie Jones Rachel Frankenthal: Evidence and Safety in Hormone Therapy After Gynecologic Cancer
You get diagnosed with gynecologic cancer and the focus turns to surgery and chemo, while no one mentions your hormones just fell off a cliff. Your ovaries are removed or radiated, you are thrown into instant menopause, and survivorship starts the day you hear the word cancer.
In this episode of Hello Hormones with Rachel Frankenthal, we unpack what no one explains at diagnosis: who can safely use hormone therapy, what induced menopause under 45 means for long term health, and why the HPV vaccine still matters in your 30s and 40s.
Rachel Frankenthal, PA-C, MPH, MSCP, is a board-certified Physician Associate and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with a Master of Public Health. She specializes in gynecologic oncology and menopause care for cancer survivors and helped develop UCLA's Gynecologic Cancer Survivorship Program.
