Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi I've learned a lot from many of the post on this site. My story is: I have 1 very large fibroid (19cm) don't know if there might be more The large one is the only one visible. I was anemic (5.2 hemog.) I'm now 13.8. I have been on Lupron for 4 months in order to shrink the fibroid and stop my periods. The fibroid has not shrunk my periods have stopped. While there are many valid opinions for not taking Lupron I believe it was necessary for me. I have schedule surgery for Jan 10th. Here's the problem: On any given day I have changed my mind from having a myo or having a hyster. I think the main reason is I'm more afraid of regrowth and another surgery then I am of not having a uterus. even if regowth doesn't result in a 2nd operation I like the idea less of having fibroids inside then not having a uterus. I know from many posts that the overwhelming opinion is to avoid a hyster. However is there a time when its truly a better way to go? I welcome people's comments Confused in San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
