Myo surgery, to schedule, hopefully soon

[Guest guest]

hello all;

I am very nervous. I have a meeting with my doctor today. I would like to

schedule my myo this August. I am afraid, but, i know that it needs to be done.

I am told that i have 7 fibroids. they just keep getting bigger. i have

experienced different sensations over the past few years, as, they grew. i am

47 years old, but, as others in this group, i want to keep my uterus.

i basically fired my other doctor. she would not communicate with me, and,

would not even tell me anything about my fibroids.

anyway, this is just another " hello " email. you will probably start seeing more

from me. Once i schedule surgery and stuff, i may get emotional, and, cry and

stuff. Right now, i feel weepy. the man that i had been dating, for a long

time, has become distant now. I don't know if he will be around for the

surgery. Thankfully, i have family in the Seattle area, where i live.

Thanks all. I really will continue to need support, from this group.

Hi Patti,

Welcome to the list! This is a great place to find out info not given by our

doctors

(especially gyno's).

I see you are 47 (as I am). I am assuming you are past the age of wanting more

children.

Instead of going through a myo which is major surgery, have you ever considered

a UAE?

Less invasive procedure and recovery time is cut in half.

Before you schedule the surgery, please look into this option. Also, the embo

group here

on yahoo has a wealth of information concerning UAE.

I too wanted to keep my uterus and I have. My heavy bleeding, break through

bleeding has

stopped. Having a UAE was the best thing I could have done. Another option to

consider

besides surgery.
