Re: Ultrasound Report---Here It Is

March 3, 2004

Hi,

Yep, that's about it. They just couldn't see 'em. Your doc may want

to do an endometrial biopsy. If so, it's no big deal. Takes 2

seconds. Done right in the office. Ask your doc if it's okay to take

a double dose of Advil or Motrin beforehand. Slight cramp and it's

over. Your bloodcounts are definitely low. Hope they started you on

iron.....if not, ask 'em why not.

Any comments? (Not sure I understand the comments

about the endometrial stripe and right ovary---just assume that they

couldn't get a good view of them, so there is nothing to say, good

or bad?)

I can understand why you are feeling relief but I feel the doctor is

concerned over your bleeding for a month straight. That in it self would make

you

anemic and feel bad. If I understand the report properly you do have a lot of

fibroids and they can cause complication like bleeding. A 7 cm fibroid is really

a fibroid that is close to being 6 inches. I was the same way when I got my

report I was so concerned over cancer that I was relieved to hear it was a

follicle cyst and 2 uterine fibroids. Good Luck

Actually it would be closed to 2 3/4 inches. Here's an online

calculator which should help. Just punch in the centimeters and it

converts it to inches.
