when the expert says you're in trouble

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm still here and reading, feeling like I know you all.

I was so excited to see the best RE in Chicago, and the MRI results were

really bad. He said my fibroids were too many to count. He was so surprised he

had

to have 2 people look at films and go see for himself. He can barely believe

it. I didn't think it was this severe. He hasn't seen a case this bad since

'89. And she had a hyst. It's kind of like *instead* of a uterus, I have a huge

fibroid.

A myomectomy is kind of crazy in my situation. He definitely talked about

hysterectomy. No way he could get rid of ALL the bad stuff, I'd have no uterus

left. None. Thing is, I have no kids, I'm 35, and my boyfriend and I want to try

to conceive. So that would mean a huge " partial " myomectomy surg, then a

c-section baby IF lucky (call it a miracle), then likely, a hysterectomy. All to

have a child. Doc is willing to try.

It seems like a huge, risky experiment. Anyone heard of anything this wacky

ever working? And I don't want a hyst of course, kids or not. Feel free to

email me off list.

I think all of this is so scary and I admire each of us.
