Advice-womb cancer

Hi

I'm looking for some advice really. I've had a biopsy and mri but unfortunately they are unable to tell me if I have cancer or not. I have two choices which are hysterectomy or a mirena coil and then check again in 6 months to see if there is any change. I'm 35 and not quite ready for a hysterectomy. I was wondering if there is anyone here that has been diagnosed and had the mirena coil that could offer any advice or if anyone has been in a similar position? Thank you. 

  • Hi Jane_k,

    I'm sorry to read about the situation you're in at the moment - I can imagine this must be unsettling and tough to deal with.

    While I can't offer any advice on your question, my reply here will boost your post so more people will see it - and if anyone has any similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    If you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
