Menopause After Cancer Support
You survived cancer.
You deserve to actually feel well.
If your body feels unrecognisable, if you're exhausted and not sleeping, if you keep being told "this is just menopause" and sent on your way, this is the support that fills the gap your medical team left behind.
I'm Sonya Lovell. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47 and spent nearly six years fighting for my quality of life after treatment. The support I needed didn't exist. So I built it.
MACS exists for every woman who survived cancer and is now asking: why do I still feel this bad?

WHY THIS SUPPORT EXISTS
What you're experiencing is real. And it's manageable.
Menopause after cancer is not the same as menopause. It often arrives suddenly, without warning, without preparation, and without nearly enough support. The physical changes are significant. The emotional toll is real. And the gap between the end of active treatment and actually living well again is enormous — and almost entirely unsupported.
You are not being dramatic. You are not ungrateful. You are a woman whose quality of life was dramatically affected by the treatment that saved her life, and you deserve far more than "this is just how it is now."

One of the hardest things about menopause after cancer is knowing what you're even allowed to ask.

From the women I've worked with.
“Speaking with Sonya has been nothing short of transformative. She brought a depth of understanding about hormone replacement therapy after cancer treatment that far exceeded what I received from the three doctors and specialists I had consulted prior. With Sonya in my pocket, I feel energised and confident to continue advocating for my own health.”
— Clarity Session client“This gave me hope that perhaps I CAN try some hormonal treatment. This has triggered conversations I needed to have with the many health professionals in my life.”
“I am so grateful. It is so comforting hearing others’ journey and to feel not alone.”
“Sonya’s voice sparked meaningful conversation and connection. Her words stayed with us long after the event ended.”
ABOUT SONYA
I lived this. That's why I do this work.
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a psychologist. What I am is a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47, experienced treatment-induced menopause, and spent nearly six years finding her way back to herself, largely without support.
I know what it feels like to be sent away with no answers. I know what it feels like to not recognise your own body. And I know how transformative it is when you finally have someone in your corner who understands the landscape, knows the evidence, and genuinely gives a damn.
I've spent 15 years in women's health, co-authored research on menopause depression published in the ANZ Journal of Psychiatry, and presented lived experience testimony at the Australian Senate Inquiry into Perimenopause and Menopause. MACS is the support I wish had existed for me, and for every woman in Australia navigating this without enough help.
SPEAKING AND ORGANISATIONS
Bringing menopause after cancer into the rooms where it needs to be.
I also work with organisations, healthcare communities, and events to bring a deeper, evidence-informed understanding of menopause after cancer, with the lived experience authority to make it land.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Whether you're looking for personal support, a place to connect with other women, or just somewhere to start, there's something here for you.
