Mirena

I'm really worried about the effect of mirena coil on my breast cancer. It is hormone receptive so should I get the coil out. I'm getting mixed advice so far.

  • Hi, 

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November and after a mastectomy in December I am currently having chemotherapy.  I had the Mirena coil fitted and because of all the conflicting information regarding the coil I decided to have it removed.  Everyone is different but for me I felt that I didn't want something in my body that could conflict with treatment.  There are other methods of birth control  one being 'not tonight I've got a headache ' but seriously it is down to the individual.  I also was advised that my treatment could also bring on the menopause so I opted for the removal.  Good luck and gentle hugs and love xx

     

  • Hi

    thanks for your reply.

    I hope you have ways of getting through this.

    I am thinking of the Mirena as the enemy so will probably get it removed.

    I like the gentle hug , sending them back .
