A mum was forced into an early menopause by her cervical cancer treatment at just 32 years old.
Dental hygienist Sophie Davies was given the devastating cancer diagnosis at her second ever smear test when she was just 29 in late 2017. She had to put the appointment off for six months as she was pregnant with her daughter.
The mum-of-one went on to need a radical hysterectomy in December 2020 - surgery to remove her uterus and both ovaries – which threw her into a surgically induced menopause, with an instant barrage of difficult symptoms. Now 33, Sophie told of how she felt isolated from friends and feared for her sanity, saying “no one really understood” what she was going through.
