I had mirena placed May '08. After discovering a lump in my right breast in September '08 and subsequent testing, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December '08. I received annual mammograms (last one October '07), never having any complications. Although my GYN didn't feel the mirena had anything to do with the complication, I am convinced in my spirit that there has to be a link somewhere. I have no family history. A friend of mine, same age, had the mirena placed in March '08 and she was diagnosed with breast cancer Oct '08. Needless to say, after 4 months of chemotherapy, I had the IUD removed. It was just too close for comfort.
