Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Ladies, I post infrequently but I do keep abreast by reading the posts. The information I have received from you all is truly amazing and so informative. Thank you so much. I have been on this fibroid merry go around about 3 years, with the uncontrollable bleeding, anemia, fast growing fibroids. I initially wanted to get a UFE but after my consult with an IR, I realized that my fibroids were just too big, plus they have caused other complications. I have two prominent fibroids and a bunch of little ones which makes my uterus 25 cm. The two prominent fibroids, one is 17 cm and the other is 11 cm. I have a small frame and look very pregnant. Anyway my fibroids because they are pressing on the invena cava (large vein that carries blood from the legs to the heart)caused me to have two pulmonary embolism (blood clot to the lung)I have been on blood thinners since last july. So surgery for me pose some problems. Anyway my surgery is set for this Friday, May 28, 2004 with Dr. West in NYC. Because of the size of my fibroids and along with the other factors, I felt I would only feel safe with a skilled physician, and so I consulted Dr. West. ne--I am happy to hear that you and some others on the list have had good recoveries and felt you were in good hands with Dr. West. I look forward to getting rid of these fibroids, having energy, just living again, and getting back into my normal clothes none that fit properly at this time. Good luck to all others with scheduled surgeries in the up coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
