Can you please elaborate on this, or link me something? Without going into too much detail, my partner has an implant, and has been having a cancer scare recently. I would really like to know more about these side effects of the implant, which as you say, are also symptoms of cancer / polyps.
- jwdunne 10y agoVaginal bleeding, regular spotting, cramps and fatigue. Above and beyond the irrelugar periods implants cause. It was only by the doctor's mention that we got the implant removed ASAP so we could see if it was that. If not, we could explore straight away. Fortunately it was the implant. I'm not so sure about giving false hope as I don't know the ins and outs but it is possible. The particular cancer is endometrial.
- rubicon33 10y agoThank you for that information. I've relayed it to my wife, and hopefully that's all this is. She's seeing a doctor today, so the timing couldn't have been better. Edit: I would reply to your below comment, but I can't for some reason. But, just wanted to say, thank you.
- jwdunne 10y agoI hope it all goes well for your wife today. I know it must be a really anxious time for you both. The above happened to us in the last week so the terror of the prospect is still fresh.
