Re: cancer vs. benign fibroids??

[Guest guest]

I would go for the 2nd opinion and see what that doc says. That is what I

did. I too kept asking the doc how I would know if my fibroids were cancer.

Both docs I saw said they are probably fibroids but couldn't be 100% certain. My

symptoms came on very suddenly and very intense (heavy bleeding/clotting/long

periods, pain, etc). After a horrible gushing episode that took me to the ER,

I had a D&C with hysteroscopy and biopsy to confirm the fibroids and see what

was going on in there. That confirmed no cancer, just fibroids. But " just

fibroids " as the doc said could be very debilitating.

Have you had a ultrasound or MRI or biopsy?
