Dont mean to scare anyone....From: anonymous@obgyn.netSat, 26 Oct 2002 12:02:09 EDT
Hello there. I am hoping that someone can give me some insight. I have been diagnosed with PCOS almost a month ago, but its very obvious now that I have been suffering from this syndrome probably for 11 or 12 years. I am in the process of going to an enodcrynologist for all of the blood work I hear about on here to pinpoint the problem. My mother keeps telling me that if my sugar is playing a part in all of this that I may need to be put on Glucophage to help in weight loss and controlling the wrong signals I am receiving for sugar due to this illness. I am very scared now to learn that this medication is one of the main ways to control this illness because my step mother told me NOT to go on the medication...that it is very dangerous. Her mother is dying of a very rare form of cancer right now, dead center of her liver. She has never been a drinker or smoker, is a small woman with just a little bit of sugar, but never a full blown diabetic. They had her on this medication two different times in her life, for long stretches, and now they believe (with some evidence of course) that the glucophage is responsible for this horrible cancer. Has anyone else heard of this? I am so scared now to be treated for the PCOS with the medication that I don't even want to persue medical attention that I so desperately need right now. I can't just let the PCOS have its way with my body, I have been going through too much to allow that to happen, but at the same time, I am so scared to seek treatment that will put me on this medicine...any thoughts ladies???
