Re: to Diane and a new question

[Guest guest]

I really don't know how new ones grew so fast. I think

that's why we need to have more research. My doc's

reasoning (maybe thinking out loud, he was clearly

questioning this himself) is that it was in the wall

of the uterus and it pushed through. I would hope that

the ultrasound would have shown that it was in there

the last time. Maybe my hormones (being in

perimenopause) are driving it, that is why we need to

find an answer.

The surgery was a hysterosopic myo and the fibroids

were on the rear wall of the uterus. This one is near

the same position but a bit higher.

I thank Carla for this group and her persistence in

knowing and finding answers to this frustrating tumor.

And hopefully that this research will one day help to

find a way to PREVENT them from occuring.

My mind is working overtime with tumors lately

(duh..)and a question has popped into my mind. Do any

of the women on this list suffer from fatty cysts in

their breasts? I'm wondering this because I have a

problem with this also. I had to have two removed (one

6cm the other 5cm) in the same breast about 6 years

ago around the same time I started having changes in

my period. Two years ago I had a mammogram and have

two more in my other breast. I know there are women

here who have spoke of having breast cancer. These are

just (as fibroids) non cancerous cysts that grow or

not and become uncomfortable. The 1st " group " started

out as one pea size back in 1981. It grew to be 6cm

with a 5cm cyst underneath it and was uncomfortable to

the point I had to have it removed.

So (phewwwwwww) the question is, have any of the women

on the list encountered the same thing?

Thank you again . I know we started in the group

around the same time and I'm so glad your surgery went

so well.
