I don't mean to criticize anyone for making ANY choice, regardless of my decision or whatever I have suggested. I always have felt that each individual should make the decision that is best for them and only they can decide that for themselves. The comments I have made anti-hysterectomy were directed at doctors who give their patients NO other options when, in fact, lots of options exist for most fibroid sufferers. I have felt and still feel that surgery, any surgery should be done as a last resort and only after the patient is fully informed of the possible long term consequences. That goes for hysterectomy, myomectomy, and even UAE. DeAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
