Need a Good Doctor in the NW Illinois area/ Chicago,Schaumburg/NW

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of a Doctor who is good with Fibroid and treatment

in the NW Illinois area or anywhere in Illinois. I'll drive!! My

fibroids are so large it is alarming most doctors. I am 48 and was

recently sent to an Oncologist at Northwestern Hospital, for my

tumors because the CT Scan said tumors were suspicious for Ovar

Cancer. They are large... 35 week pregnancy size or 12x17 cm. The

Doctor walked in felt the tumors and said to me " Common Logic should

tell you that this should be removed. " I said Ok yes but can you do

it without a hysterectomy. He said No. I said are the malignant.

He said I can't tell until I open you up. But I will have to do a

hysterectomy. After all the common scare tactics, You're old, not

having more kids, it can be cancer, Hysterectomy won't bother

anything, It's safe. I said NO. They don't bother me so why should

I have surgery? I asked for a CA125 and he said no. Its not

accurate. He finally agreed to do a MRI. Well I had another doctor

order a CA125 and CEA. Both can back pretty low. The CA125 was 15

and the CEA was .9. I'm sick of doctors telling me to have a

hyterectomy because of the size of the tumors when THEY DON'T BOTHER

ME!!! Pressure from the size is my biggest complaint. I still think i

should watch and wait. Menapause should be just around the corner.

Hopefully they will start to shrink. Any good doctors in my area??

I went to Dr Zinamen at Loyola for good care and a

myomectomy but if you want to wait and see then maybe

you need an OB/GYN not an RE

note AVOID Dr A Caruso he was at Midwest Fertility but

has left but is still in IL somewhere near Chicago

practicing. He made a mess of me that has taken over

6 months to recover from!!!! He made the incision in

the wrong place, left scar tissue everywhere and did a

" placebo " myomectomy (I mean he left in my fibroid and

told me and my parents that he took it out)

Thats pretty scary. I agree you should file a lawsuit for that. Are

you happy with the Myo? Did you have large tumors?
