Menopause: How it affects patients with Cancer and Brain Tumours – 17 May 2025

BTSS is delighted to organise this event along with Curie Foundation who kindly sponsored the buffet lunch for the guests. The event at the lovely Enchanted Gardens at V Hotel, reached full house attendance. Participants enjoyed mingling with each other over ice breaker games before settling down to listen intently to the panel sharing by Ms Diana Tan, Dr Ieera Aggarwal, Dr Joline Lim and BTSS President Melissa Lim.

BTSS and CF are happy to receive feedback that the panel sharing had offered information that was beneficial in navigating their journeys with menopause and cancers. Thank you participants who attended and we gently remind you to use the Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS), a self-administered questionnaire used to measure the severity of menopausal symptoms, when consulting trained menopause experts in seeking care.

In BTSS, you never walk alone in your journey with brain tumor. And we mean this literally too when a community of 11 patients and caregivers gathered in the early morning of 26 August at Rifle Range.
