As a women in her mid 40’s I do feel that any symptom of anything I may have is now just chalked up to the perimenopause.

This is what my online life tells me…and what my friends of the same age often hear from their GPs.

But women in their 40’s can have other medical conditions, including pregnancy and cancer.

We need to be heard properly.
