Mirena IUD and hormone +Ve breast cancer
Hi everyone. Just wanted to know if there were any similar cases to mine. I had a mammogram and ultrasound for an unrelated issue in 2012, both tests being clear. I was diagnosed with ductal ectasia (...
I suppose no different than HRT or the contraceptive pill...contraindicated if you have cancer but for the majority of women it is safe. I chose to not have HRT due to family risk..and was possibly very lucky I didn't as my cancer probably started during peri menopause when the hormones are up and down. But I'll never know for sure if it was or wasn't there when those scans were taken...and if it wasnt? Well..#$@! it was growing fast...and I was truly blessed it was near the surface of the breast and easily picked up. But...it is now gone...and hopefully never to return.
