Guest guest Posted February 4, 2000 Report Share Posted February 4, 2000 Joni; Glad to hear you made the first step in talking to others in situations similiar to yours. It took me FOUR GYNs to finally get one who didn't recommend HYS as my only option. When the first one told me I had to have surgery IMMEDIATELY or face serious health problems, I went into a panic. She even scheduled me for surgery the next month giving me only 3 weeks to prepare. I wasn't even sure what I wanted but was so scared I left her rush me into surgery. Tragically, I had a death in the family prior to surgery and I was so upset, I postponed. That finally bought me time to calm down and do my homework on the issue. That was a year and a half ago and I still haven't had surgery. I've tried lots of alternative medicines..especially progesterone cream, and they've really helped reduce heavy bleeding/iron helped with anemia. Just had fibroids checked w/US and they haven't grown. The year before, they doubled in size. I'm still searching for treatments besides surgery. Keep up your search. Information is your best friend.
