The problem
Cancer treatment can trigger sudden, severe menopause
Chemotherapy, surgery, and hormone-blocking therapies can push a woman's body into menopause overnight. Unlike natural menopause, this is abrupt, medically complex, and often never explained. HRT — the most common treatment — is usually not suitable for women with breast cancer. Many women are left completely unsupported at the most vulnerable moment of their lives.
"My body shifted into full menopause overnight. I didn't recognise myself physically or emotionally."
"I felt my whole life came crashing down. I felt isolated and alone."
The solution
Two structured forms of support, designed for this moment
1
Preparation support
Designed for women before treatment begins. Personalised, self-paced digital support to reduce fear, build understanding, and help women feel ready when their body starts to change.
2
Stabilisation support
Structured digital support designed to address the symptoms that affect daily functioning most — helping women feel like themselves again and stay on treatment.
Why MeAgain
Nothing else is designed for this
Cancer-aware by design
Designed specifically for medically induced menopause, with the women it serves at the heart of its development — not adapted from a general menopause or wellness platform.
Preparation and stabilisation
Designed to support women before treatment begins and throughout — addressing the gap that exists between diagnosis and recovery that no current service fills.
Pathway-integrated
Designed to sit within existing hospital breast cancer pathways — reaching women at the point of need, not reliant on self-discovery.
Safe and evidence-informed
Designed to complement — not replace — medical care. Non-hormonal and grounded in approaches appropriate for women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
30%
of women said their concerns were only somewhat addressed by existing services
40%
of women said their concerns were not taken seriously at all
