Hi Everyone,
Update: A special "Thanks" to our OBGYN.net members who answered my
posting, and to our Hope For Fibroids contributors! Also a big "Thanks"
to our doctors who said they would be happy to help if needed. Many of
the ladies were interviewed, and I will let you know more as it
develops. If anyone would like to be added to the interview list for
future articles please send me an email. Also, I am always happy to
receive emails concerning articles/interviews from magazines, etc.
Thanks again!! - Hope Waltman, Forum Moderator
