Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hello Habon, I am also scheduled for a myo (July 16) my doctor has assured my that he will remove ALL of the fibroids, my understanding is that ultrasounds or MRI sometimes do not show the very small fibroids. He said that once he removes the largest visible ones he then will search for the little ones by feeling around the uterus. I totally agree with you, that if we are going to have surgery we want then ALL OUT. Best wishes for your upcoming myo. -----Original Message----- Hi all, I have an upcoming myo scheduled for July 2nd and recently spoke with my doctor who did not deliver the best news. He called to talk to me about an ultrasound I had had and stated that I still have 5 fibroids of differing sizes, the largest two being about 5cms. Then he said that he would definetly remove the two large ones b/c they seemed to be causing all the problems and as for the little ones, he didn't want to make too many cuts in my uterus. I told him that if I was having the surgery, I wanted them all out and I did not want to have to live with these things anymore. My question is this : Is it hard to see these fibroids by ultrasound? And during the myo will he be able to see all of them or do they tend to conceal themselves? I am assuming that once he performs the myo he will take out everything he finds but I am afraid that he will only take out the large ones and leave the rest. Anybody have any advice?
