Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I DID get to see my fibroid after it was removed – but I had a vaginal myo under spinal – and I was very conscious, just sort of lying there trying to read things on the fixtures on the ceiling – which was not easy w/o my glasses. So, they were able to bring the fibroid around and let me see it in the first person. -- !. It was pedunculated and they were holding it by the stem in an instrument – just sort of dangling there – rather the way I imagine it HAD been dangling about making havoc in my uterus. I am actually very glad that I got to see it. (Subsequently when I had a surgical breast biopsy under local, I also insisted on seeing the hunk of tissue they removed -- and, again, I’m very happy I did). --- However, they do usually want to rush these things off to pathology – so if you’re under general, or sedated – probably photos are your best “shot” at seeing the fibroids. Remind, remind, remind. These folks are very used to their surgical routines & if you want something different like this -- willing though they may be -- they need to be made not to forget. Reminding the whole surgical team about the photos prior to surgery might help. Pat _________________________________________________________________ Click, drag and drop.
