thanks all for listening

[Guest guest]

Hello all;

I have been reading a lot of good stuff on this website. My former doctor ONLY

suggested a hysterectomy for my fibroids! I cried and cried and cried! I have

nobody to talk with. My boyfriend (or so I thought) could not really offer his

support because he was started a new relationship and about the same time I

found out! I am so happy to have this site, as, I really need to vent! I have

already spoken via phone to one gal who has been very supportive.

Anyway, I now have an appointment with a new GYN who is suppose to be caring and

supportive. I am currently trying to set up some local appointments with

myomectomy doctors ( anyone know of any in the Seattle area?) to figure out what

my options are. I am apparently way too attached to my uterus to have someone

just pull it out. I may be in my 40s, but, it IS MY body.

Thanks, all, for your support. I am still here, and, still working on figuring

out what to do.

Patty:

I just needed to jump in and offer some support. I too have had a simular

experience..been to now three doctors, the first two were not very helpful and

went straight to the hysto. The third who actually was a friend of mine was

better, because of our friendsip, but still didn't give me what I wanted. I have

now relized that it's not the care and compassion that I want. I need someone

who has experience dealing with these monsters. At this point, the caring part

doesn't even phase me, just get me to someone who will take care of it! and not

beat around the bush, give me the BS that I have found that GYN's do so well.

Bottom line find someone who is a specialist, not someone that will rub your

head and make it feel better. Check the University, I have found that they are

usually ahead of the game.

And please remember that your not alone!
