mri/blood test for cancer

[Guest guest]

e,

I wanted a test to show me that all I have is a benign condition,

sometimes it just doesn't feel that way.

Dr Milad at Northwestern took blood and is using last years mri for

cancer test(never did it before). I am giving him a chance since

that is my hospital and he an excellent doctor. I hope he can

interpret the data correctly since it's all about cancer which I

need reassurance I don't have. I had asked him to biopsy the focal

adeno, he said you can't do that He also had done my endo biopsy 6

mo ago(neg) I have an appointment Tuesday where we will review

annual pap and findings from this blood/mri test. I also saw

Dr.Zinamin 1/04 at Loyola for a second opinion, not for the blood

test. Both men are skilled REs'I cannot find any background info on

either of them outside of what the hospital lists.My feel is that

Zinamin has an edge with experience and large fibroids.

Chicago needs a fibroid clinic. 2 weeks ago the Tribune ran a big

UFE article which really helped inform. Not any of the 3 gyns I saw

early on even mentioned this procedure as an option.

My periods stopped at Christmas (great gift) I spot now every 30

days (just 1 pantyliner!) The pain is still around. 1/04 US says

uterus is holding at 14 wk size. Because I am so close to menopause

I have been waiting to see if fibroids correct Bulk is still there

big time. My cervix opening is stretched way out because of the

fibroid pressure I am told. Neither Dr. seems concerned about this.

I didn't look at northwest as close as the other two

UoChicago and Loyola due to insurance and driving

issues.-

Is Milad the only one there that treats fibroids

You are right Chicago needs to centralize info on

fibroids
