Ann,

Myself and many others will be waiting to hear what you find out. I did read

that in the cases where fibroids return after surgery they are when a women

had multiple fibroids. But those stats stated within 5-10 years. So this does

sound odd. I will be thinking good thoughts for your sister. Thanks for

sharing this with us.

Hi,

I just wanted to give you an update on my younger sister who had an

abdominal myo last March. She had 6 fibroids that all together were

equivalent to the size of a grapefruit. One of the fibroids they

brought in an oncologist to remove since it was so close to an

artery. She had pain in her back for years and it turned out one

fibroid was pressing on a major artery in her back. Her recovery was

fine except for the fact that her stitches ripped out and they had to

let it heal from the inside out, having other pack the wound with

gauze daily.

Recently, as we have been talking about my decisions about treatment

for my fibroid she has mentioned that she has had some continued

pelvic pain. She is a graduate student and hasn't had consistent

health insurance coverage as she took last year off to deal with her

health issues.

Last week she saw an ob/gyn and they did an ultrasound on her to

check out the pain. They saw something near her right ovary that the

doctor mentioned was either a pedunculated fibroid that might have

grown in the meantime, a dermoid cyst or possibly ovarian cancer

(mentioning that she might need to get opened up again and might

possibly lose an ovary -- a heck of a nice thing to say to a young

woman). She's due to have an MRI to find out what is up but is

understandably upset.

The thing about it seems to be how likely is it that in 8 months any

of these conditions could have occurred. The doctor who did her

surgery had her wide open, could she actually have missed something?

I will let you know what we find out.

Ann
