Dr. Braun,

Going off of your answer to annoymous....One of my best friends recently discovered early in her pregnancy that she has significant large fibriods in her uterus. I am concern for her and so is she very much so that she might lose this child. Is there any treatment for a woman in this state? Note that my friend hasn't been able to get pregnant for 7 years b/c she was diagnoised with cervical cancer that is now in remission. She would no doubt be having a c-section. What kind of advice or support can I give her? Is there anything out that can maybe decrease the chances for complications or even the death of a child? At this point the most disturbing symptoms to her is the severe pelvic pain and fatigue. Of course the fatigue comes along w/ the pregnancy....I want to be her friend, but myself never being pregnant and not too positive that I may ever be able to have children. Thanks!
