    Hello WestieRuth, 

    I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have also been on Cerelle, the progesterone-only pill and that they will share their story with you. Should you wish to talk this through with one of our cancer nurses, you are welcome to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi Ruth 

    I too had benign cysts on Cerelle. Clear mammogram (well cysts apparently) in Feb 2019 then 6 cm tumour discovered June 2020. I wonder how common this is? Was your cancer triple positive too? 

    Hope you're doing OK today.

    Best wishes

    Ruth
