BHT and Cancer Recovery

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy After Cancer: A Natural Approach for Kansas City Survivors

April 08, 20253 min read

Cancer survivors often face a new set of health challenges long after the treatments end. For many, hormonal imbalances caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery can significantly impact quality of life. At Trinity Woundcare & Wellness Clinic in Kansas City, Kansas, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT) as a gentle, natural strategy to restore balance—safely and effectively.


The Hidden Impact of Cancer Treatment on Hormones

Cancer treatments, while life-saving, often disrupt the body’s hormone production. This is especially common among survivors of breast, ovarian, prostate, or testicular cancers.

Symptoms of post-cancer hormonal imbalance may include:

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Low libido

  • Weight gain

  • Mood swings

  • Brain fog or memory issues

  • Hot flashes or night sweats

“Up to 85% of breast cancer survivors report moderate to severe symptoms related to estrogen deficiency, often years after treatment.”
Journal of Supportive Oncology, 2021

For both women and men, these symptoms can make recovery feel incomplete. That’s where Bioidentical Hormone Therapy may help.


What Are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are compounded from natural plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies (HRT), which may use synthetic or animal-derived hormones, BHT is tailored to each patient’s specific needs using lab testing and symptom tracking.

At Trinity Woundcare & Wellness, Dr. Judy takes a personalized approach, monitoring hormone levels through saliva or blood tests, and customizing care for each individual.

“Bioidentical hormones offer a safer, more physiologically harmonious option than conventional HRT when monitored by experienced providers.”
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, 2023


Is BHT Safe After Cancer?

The short answer is: it depends on your medical history—and that’s why expert guidance is essential. Not every cancer survivor is a candidate for hormone therapy, especially those with hormone-sensitive cancers.

However, for many patients, bioidentical hormone therapy can be considered with proper risk assessment and regular follow-up. Dr. Judy collaborates with patients’ oncologists when appropriate to ensure a fully coordinated care plan.
