About

What happens when breast cancer treatment ends, but you’re still navigating everything it changed?

In this episode of Seen & Heard, Trish Michelle, Patient Advocate & Public Speaker, Founder of Reclaim October + COO of The Breasties, joins Dr. Kameelah Phillips, board-certified OB-GYN, menopause specialist, and founder of Evolve Gyn, for an honest conversation about breast cancer, menopause, and life after treatment.

Trish shares the physical and emotional impact of her experience, what she wishes her healthcare team had understood, and why survivorship deserves more attention.

Together, they discuss:

  • Navigating menopause after breast cancer.

  • The impact of losing breasts and ovaries.

  • Holding grief and gratitude at the same time.

  • Feeling unheard in healthcare and learning to trust your instincts.

  • Finding support and rebuilding a full life after treatment.
