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 had an early menopause (46) and took an HRT troche for the past 4 years until my cancer diagnosis. It was strongly hormone receptive (EO 100%, PR 95%). Like others, I wonder whether this caused my cancer. I did IVF for 3 years too, so the high doses of hormones during treatment could also have had an impact. I was very lucky in having a small 1.3cm grade 1 IDC picked up - thank God for routine mammograms!
