I have had multiple fibroids and found a wonderful obgyn that is expert in the field of treatment of fibroids and endometriosis. You may contact him and find out more information by looking at his professional website: http://www.thomasllyons.com He successfully removed my fibroids (one was 9 or more cm, plus others and I really feel great now. He is well advanced in his field and I hope that this message will be useful to you. Tamlyn >
