MYO imposssible b/c of Position? (re: Tarty's post)

[Guest guest]

Dear Tarty & Others:

This is the first I have ever heard of a fibroid being impossible to remove

by Myo b/c of its position! Has anyone else ever heard of this?? My fibroids

have not been measured in the last 8 mo or so, yet my doctor (a well-known

specialist whom I trust implicitly) is willing to schedule a myo w/out

remeasuring them or re-guaging their position(s). I'm sure that if position

were an

issue, he would be concerned. (wouldn't he???)

Has anyone else ever heard of position of a fibroid making it impossible to

remove via myo?

It's not that it isn't possible to remove my fibroid. It is the amount

of reconstruction that would be needed, and the possibility of

other medical problems afterward that makes me not a

reasonable candidate for myomectomy. I am 43, have two grown

sons, and not planning on having any other children.

So, I can see my doctor's point
