Is 38 too young to be in menopause?

Alisa was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at the young age of 38. Saving her life became the main focus of her doctors. Unfortunately because of the necessary medical treatments , she was pushed into early perimenopause, and later on into sudden menopause. What was the support she received from the medical community? Was it enough?

In this conversation Alisa talks about the challenges she faced and the journey she went on to deal with the after effects of her cancer treatments and the symptoms of sudden onset peri/menopause.

One treatment specifically helped her regain her energy and health. You can find out more here: Lifewave
