Dear all
Back in December 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer well i was still on the mini pill because everytime I came off it I got PMT im 54 im worried this may have caused it any opnions welcome
ruth x
but how do you know Tarry its was the pill
In my previous reply to your question regarding the Pill, I wrote any drugs might contribute to health issues but not cause, this statement included the PILL
If this is something concerning you greatly I would contact your oncologist he or she would be best placed to advise you on this subject. Rather than options on here that may conflict.
Regardless of any contribution made by medication. Sadly you cannot change your diagnosis.
Good luck with your treatment.
Hello westieruth
Try not to focus on the cause but the cure. Have a chat with your oncologist and breast nurse but you really need to not wonder what caused it because it's there now.
You are not alone in worrying if a decision you made triggered your cancer . This can be medication we take, the work and work environment, the food we eat etc. Bottom line is though it's not your fault you have cancer. Sadly the chances are so high of getting cancer , is it 1 in 3 ? Due to this there is huge investment in cancer treatments and breast cancer is now on majority of cases extremely treatable. I was diagnosed 6 years ago and was devastated but I'm still around annoying my hubby !
You are focussed on finding a reason but you'll never know it's just something that's happened . What is your diagnosis and treatment plan ?
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
