Confused & Overwhelmed
Hi everyone
I'm brand new & so overwhelmed. My nurse has passed on theses details & I'm looking to share my story, offer my support & hope my new sisters can help & guide me please.
I've got a small 11 x 8mm cancer. Grade 2, invasive ductal, ER 95%, PR 95%, Her negative & I'm booked for surgery 24 October.
I've been told to have the Mirena removed & stop all HRT immediately. I'm 57, fit & in good health. I'm in menopause & have been on my HRT for a bit over 12months. I'm currently on Ovestin three x week & Sandrena & Androfeme daily as well as having the Mirena.
From all I've read I'm really concerned about stopping the HRT as I feel that the risks I will expose myself will outweigh any benefit. I also wasn't sure about stopping "cold turkey".
If anyone can offer any info about this type of cancer & has continued with their HRT etc I would be extremely grateful. Thanks.
