I was diagnosed with agressive angiomyxoma 8 years ago. My first tumor was 14#. I had a second tumor a year later and went to stanford for the surgury. My follow ups consisted of Radiation therapy and Lupron. I have not had another reaccurance since! I believe this treatment worked for me and it can work for others. I was also advaised to watch my estrogene intake, after all the proceedures and treatments were done I devoted myself to taking better care of me! MOre exercise and lots of massages! Be good to yourself everyday! Blessings to all who are working through this very difficult disease.
