Mirena coil for endometrial cancer aged 31

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia with atypia and grade 1 endometrial cancer, stage 1b (I think but its possible I've made that up as the last 4 months have been a whirlwind.) In January 2021. I had a mirena coil inserted and told it would be good to lose weight as I am obese and that's likely the cause of the cancer. My Nana also had this cancer at age 30. I haven't managed to lose any weight and my first biopsy after 4 months showed no change to the cells. I'm waiting to hear what the next steps are. I was wondering who else has had the mirena coil and did it work for you? How quickly did you see results? I'm really hoping for the ability to retain my fertility and not have a hysterectomy. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

    I've had a quick look through the forum for you and found a discussion you may find helpful. It actually started all the way back in 2010 but as new members have joined, the conversation is still going today. You can have a look at it just here.

    You may also want to reach out to a member called MClara. They joined the forum in March and are in a similar situation to yourself. If you'd like to find out more just click here. 

    I hope this helps but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
