100.	S.M	HAVERFORDWEST	There is definitely a need for more research and better training for GPs, obgyns and consultant gynaes in this area. it took nearly 13 years from my first symptoms before I finaly found out I had a fibroid - I had started to pass clots and had slight back pain to start and my cycle became shorter and periods heavier over this period of time but was told that this was to be expected!I had UAE in October 2007 and although because of the size of my fibroid it took a while for things to get better it is the best thing I have ever done and I am glad i spent the time to search out a good gynae and interventional radiologist - it took about 18 months and vistst o 5 gynaes and 4 hospitals

98.	D.B	PONTYPOOL	I saw a professional and all he wanted to do was a hysterectomy - i saw someone else and has a resectin a week ago and feel fab - i am back in work - some of these men are butchers!
97.	M.C	Bowie, MD USA	Enact legislation to require the medical establishment to disclose all options available to women for treating fibroids. Provide sources for information to patients to learn more about each option including discussion boards on the internet wherein fellow-sufferers discuss their experiences in an open and candid forum.

88.	C.H	Abertillery	We, the undersigned, demand that the leaders of our government to put fibroids in the top of agenda for research fundings for better scheme for early detection and non-invasive treatments.
87.	M.D.E.F	London	Fibroids need to be top priority for research and male doctors need to be reeducated and to learn, listen and help regarding the pain and suffering that fibroids can cause.
86.	L.K	Bristol	I feel very strongly about improving research and treatment of fibroids. I recently had a myomectomy and there were complictions which resulted in me losing 4.5 litres of blood (approx. 75%); this meant that I nearly died and had to have several blood transfusions. Due to the surgeons having to work quikly, my right fallopian tube was damaged during the operation, which will affect my fertility. I have not yet had children and would like to in the near future, but my fertility has been compromised due to lack of funding, research etc. Please move this towards the top of the health agenda.

85.	D	Torfaen	Why is it that men just want to perform a hysterectomy when there are so many alternatives - i have just found another specialist who will do what I WANT - not what he wants
