Not a Candidate for Embo

[Guest guest]

I'm quite bummed really, after hearing today that I am not a candidate for the

UAE. I wasn't able to talk directly to the IR, as he wasn't in today, but I

spoke to someone who works for him. She told me I wasn't a candidate because of

having pedunculated fibroids. She said it could be dangerous. She didn't have

too much other info. She said he was going to write a letter to my GYN and that

I should ask my GYN about it. I told her I wanted to talk to the IR, and she

insisted I should talk to the GYN. When I had met with the IR originally, he had

given me his card and said I could call him any time and this woman ( the one I

spoke to today, I'm not sure if she's a receptionist, or what) could track him

down any time.

I guess I'll try and talk to him tomorrow. I hope she puts me through to him.

Now I'm not sure what to do. I suppose a hysterectomy makes the most sense,

seeing that the fibroids can grow back, but I'm not sure. How do I make an

informed decision? How do I make a tough decision? I seriously don't want the

long recovery, but I need relief from the bulk symptoms.

If I do decide to have a hyst or myo, how do I determine if the GYn is a good

surgeon or not? I really need help figuring that one out.
