Re: tDelle reatment options for large fibroid(s)

Delle,

I would be very suspicious about your gyno!!! You are being

misinformed. Lupron is a temporary treatment!!! I have been told

for 3 months max!!!! It is bad for you. As someone else said, it

deplets your bones. You should not stay on this!!!!! Once you

stop, the fibroids will grow right back again. You may need to get

the bigger one out for now, 1st. This is not a treatment for

fibroids. It helps to shrink them before surgery, but only for that.
