Thanks for the information about Bibliofind at

http://www.bibliofind.com . I went to the website and found that

there is a book for sale from the Strand Bookstore in Manhattan. I

will try to go there in person this afternoon and see if I can get a

copy of the book " The Hysterectomy Hoax " by Dr. Stanley West (

http://www.repmed.com ).

I met Dr. West on Wednesday. He said he does the most myomectomies

than anyone else in the world.

According to Webmd,

http://my.webmd.com/content/dmk/dmk_article_5963003 :

" If your doctor tells you that neither a myomectomy nor microsurgery

is as effective as a hysterectomy, get another opinion. This response

indicates that your doctor is unfamiliar with the procedures and

prefers to rely on what he or she is comfortable doing, rather than

on what's in your best interest. "

Thanks,

Donna
