Heart Broken & with Huge Fibroids

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

I have huge fibroids that are all outside my uterus and give me very little

trouble exept

they are now so big they are pressing up against my rib cage. My largest one is

14 cm

pedunculated, although it feels as though the fibroids are hip to hip above my

belly

button. I have a smaller one that is very low too all of which I can feel & mvoe

around

myself.

My boyfriend who I have been with for almost 4 years has decided he does not

want to

have kids, I am devastated to say the least as I am turning 40 this year! The

last OBGYN I

saw a wonderful doctor outside Toronto said that surgery should always be the

last thing a

woman should do unless the fibroids are causing extreme problems. I have always

held off

having surgery because of the risk of hysterectomy and my very strong desire to

have

children...both my Mom and Grandmother had hyst because of fibroids and I do not

want

to follow in their shoes.

Now I am completly heart broken and afraid I won't find another partner in time

to have a

child...has any out there gone through something like this...and ended up having

had a

child against all odds...

Thanks so much,

Nadine
