Noelene.......got one part wrong.....somebody does care...me for one...{{{hug}}}

I know how you feel...I am an only child and my Mom is not well and I have no

close family around...and my hysterectomy is going to be on the 21st....I have a

large fibroid and it is not getting any smaller....I am 56 and might as well get

rid of it. I am not in a lot of pain, but the way I look so pregnant and the

pressure and bloated feeling....I feel tired all the time, I guess just having

this much weight to carry around.....feel sort of like I did before my son was

born 33 yrs. ago....only this time I don't get to bring a baby home..

I am suppose to have a lapascopic [the 3 little holes] and taken out the

bottom.....hope it can go that way....recovery time is much faster.

E-mail me anytime you want...I will be happy to be here on the other

end......maybe if I have mine before you do I can encourage you along the

way......

Are you going to have a hysterectomy or another proceedure? Either way, I will

be remembering you in prayer.......

Hi,

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post.

I was going to have a myomectomy.

I would still like to have it, and the hospital has given me 30 days to get back

to them. The social worker rang me this week and told me that she has now been

able to arrange some help for me and my daughter post surgery.

My boss relies on me a lot a work, I know it is silly, but I don't like to leave

him in the lurch. He is 73.

However, from the responses you all gave me I do think I should go ahead and

have the myo. I have other fibroids as well as the 9cm one, another is only 2cm

on the other (right) side, but is tender too.

I am 44, so am perimenopausal.

I do feel very, very tired and perhaps the symptoms are worse than I give them

credit for.

I just found I don't have too much confidence in the doctors. I live in Western

Australia, and being a public patient cannot choose my own doc. Before speaking

to a gyno at the hospital (one of three people who may perform the surgery), I

did feel more confident.

I think a lot of it does have to do with vivid dark memories of my emergency

caesar.

If I don't go ahead in the next 30 days, I may well have trouble getting another

date.

I know it is silly, but I just feel like noone cares. Just the lack of a partner

and close family nearby, I guess.

I think I need to gather up my courage and go ahead with the myo, and get rid of

these things, especially if the 9cm calcified one is not going to go away after

menopause.

Thanks for all your help.
