Hi Elaine
What's your doc planning to do with the fibroids? Or did he tel you
anything about that? My older sister had lots of fibroids, everywhere.
Doc put her on lupron to help shrink the fibroids but it didn't help.
Did you have major bleeding with your periods? That was one of the many
problems they caused her. Depending on where and how big the fibroids
are they can be removed using different procedures like scraping and
other fun stuff. Hope this helps some.
luv, Amy
