💡 Ever wonder if you really need to stay on endocrine therapy for 10 years?

The Breast Cancer Index (BCI) test can help answer that.

This genomic test analyzes your tumor biology to determine two critical things:
1️⃣ Your risk of late distant recurrence (years 5–10)
2️⃣ Whether continuing endocrine therapy is likely to benefit you.

BCI is now included in the NCCN Guidelines for HR+ early-stage breast cancer and helps patients and clinicians make personalized, evidence-based treatment decisions.

Swipe to learn what the test measures, how it’s done, and why it’s changing how we manage survivorship care.

At BePowerfuel, we help breast cancer survivors navigate hormone management, survivorship, and sexual health with clarity and confidence.

💬 Have questions about your treatment or BCI testing? Send us a message or visit bepowerfuel.com to schedule a consultation.

Sexual health is an essential part of cancer care—but it’s often overlooked.

Research shows that the majority of oncology providers don’t routinely ask about sexual side effects of treatment, despite how common and life-disrupting they can be.

That’s why we encourage patients to speak up. If your sexual health isn’t being addressed, bring it up—and don’t stop until you get answers.

At BePowerfuel, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for cancer survivors navigating sexual health and hormonal changes.

💭It’s not just a moment—perimenopause can reshape nearly a decade of your life.🤔

Think you’re too young for perimenopause?
Hormonal changes can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s and continue for up to 10 years before your period actually stops.
During this time, it’s common to experience changes in sleep, mood, libido, brain clarity, weight, and menstrual cycles.

If you’ve been told you’re “too young” to feel different, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

Your body is changing, and it deserves to be supported.

Let’s talk about what isn’t being talked about enough: sexual health after cancer. 👏🏼

Too many women struggle with changes in intimacy, libido, and comfort post-cancer, yet these concerns often get overlooked in survivorship care. Why? Lack of provider training, time constraints, and a focus on ‘bigger’ health issues. But guess what? Sexual health is a big deal.

The good news? There are solutions—hormonal and non-hormonal treatments, counseling, pelvic PT, and more. It’s time to prioritize your quality of life, not just survival. 💗

Tag a friend who needs to hear this and let’s start normalizing these conversations!

🌹 💖 Women’s sexual desire is not a light switch—it’s way more complex involving emotions, connection, hormonal shifts and a whole lot of context.

Ever wondered why you don’t just “feel in the mood” out of nowhere like they do in movies?
That’s because spontaneous desire (aka “I’m turned on just because”) is only one type of desire—and for most women, it’s NOT the norm.

💡 Meet Responsive Desire!
Instead of desire striking before arousal, responsive desire kicks in after sexual stimuli—like affectionate touch, emotional connection, or even just allowing yourself the space to relax and tune into pleasure. It’s normal to need a little something to get you in the mood!

✨ Think of it like this:
🔌 Spontaneous desire = an instant-on light switch.
🔥 Responsive desire = a simmering pot—it heats up with the right ingredients.

And guess what? Neither is “better” than the other! But society often makes us think spontaneous desire is the “right” way to experience libido, which can lead to stress, shame, or the feeling that something is “wrong” with you (spoiler: it’s not!).

📚 Want to learn more? These must-read books break it all down beautifully:
📖 “Come As You Are” by Emily Nagoski – The ultimate guide to female sexuality & how to work with your desire, not against it.
📖 “You Are Not Broken” by Kelly Casperson, MD – A science-backed, no-BS take on libido, pleasure, and ditching the shame.

🌟 Struggling with low libido or feeling disconnected from your desire? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to just “deal with it.” At bePowerfuel, we help women navigate hormone changes, sexual health, and everything in between.

🚨 Misinformation Alert! 🚨

There is no credible research linking vaginal estrogen to an increased risk of cervical cancer. Unlike systemic hormone therapy, low-dose vaginal estrogen is localized and does not significantly raise estrogen levels in the body. Studies from NAMS and ACOG confirm its safety—even for breast cancer survivors.

Pharmacists are not always trained in hormone therapy or women’s health, yet many feel comfortable “counseling” patients with outdated or incorrect information. If a pharmacist or provider tells you otherwise, they might be confusing systemic HRT with vaginal estrogen.

Advocate for yourself and know the facts!

Cortisol & Menopause: The Stress-Hormone Connection

Did you know that high cortisol levels can make menopause symptoms worse? Chronic stress can:

⚠️ Increase hot flashes & night sweats
⚠️ Disrupt sleep & cause fatigue
⚠️ Lead to weight gain (especially belly fat!)
⚠️ Affect mood & worsen anxiety

💡 What can you do? Managing cortisol is just as important as balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Strategies that help:

✅ Prioritize quality sleep
✅ Reduce caffeine & sugar
✅ Practice mindful movement (yoga, walking)
✅ Support hormones with personalized HRT

➡️ Stress is inevitable, but how you manage it matters!

If you’re struggling with stubborn symptoms, a hormone expert can help! Check out www.bepowerfuel.com for more information ☺️
