Recently diagnosed ER/PR Positive breast cancer. Should I have Mirena coli removed?

Hi, 

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a lumpectomy at the end of May and start my Radiotherapy on Monday. Like you I had a marina coil fitted for over 20 years and took the opinion of better safe than sorry as I am also ER & PR receptive. My surgeon didn’t think it would have much impact but felt I needed to have it removed as it is hormone based contraception. 

Good luck Dolly64

Hi Dolly. Thank you for replying. I was thinking the same thing , better safe than sorry. I’ll see if I can arrange an appointment for next week to have it removed. I hope your radiotherapy goes well. I will be having my lumpectomy in the next 2 weeks, all being well with my MRI results. 

Take care

Hi Petals15, I had a mirena coil and was diagnosed with ER+ PR+ IDC. My breast surgeon advised me to have it removed.

take care 

Thank you both for your reply’s. Apologises for the late reply but I have been recovering from my WLE and SLNB. I had it a week ago and should have the results by next weekend. I have arranged an appointment to discuss the coil removal. Unfortunately my GP is unable to accommodate me for 3 months due to the lack of appointments available so I have to go to another clinic for the consultation. 

Take care xx
