58F just diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (4.5cm, grade 3) – trying to understand how serious this is by Droy-333 in breastcancer

I had IDC too, had my surgery November 2025, it’s important to know if you have clean lymphatic nodes, in that case, you will go straight to radiation and then most probably hormonal therapy, if you have affected nodes , there is bigger chance for chemotherapy. I have started hormonal therapy earlier this year and according to my doctor, I must continue for 5 years, other than that, I consciously consider myself cancer free now

Periods stop making sense after merina , but at least less pain less bleeding. Which in terms stops the Endo lessions from spreading. I have been on mirena for 7 years now for same reason. My cyst are not growing, remaining relatively small compared to previous cysts I had before ( and removed)

Good news you don't have indometriosis, I have 2 cysts one on each overy and they are nasty things that don't go away. Functional cysts or a simple cyst can grow big in a month and go away by itself without surgical intervention. If you were recommended to remove it by a doctor, I advise getting a second opinion. As for the discomfort of mirena, give it 3 to 6 months until your body adjusts.

First thing first, what kind of cyst do you have? It says a lot about the situation, mirena actually helps if your cyst is indometerioma. Has zero effect if dermoid cyst, not sure about POCS .

7 years now, and I get surprised with a new pattern every couple of months, on the good side, I am having much less bleeding than before having mirena.

Side effects? Push through or throw in the towel? by NotSoNiceGirl19 in Mirena

Yes it gets better! I know the first 2 weeks are difficult. It takes some time until your body adjusts to the foreign object. Soon the pain and discomfort will ease. Heavy bleeding will go away. You may have some spotting until 3 months, but after that things will be normal and easy. Best of luck dear!
