| Women really need more information on fibroids and how to avoid them growing and if they do to get as much help as possible on what treatment they can have |

| Recently diagnosed with a 14cm
fibroid. Hospital appointment came
impressively quickly because of the
need to rule out cancer. Great relief
that they don\\\'t think it is cancer, but
now made to feel that a fibroid is not
that important and now waiting to see
a gynae consultant. Fibroids and their
symptoms sneak up on you gradually
giving more
discomfort. One day it dawned on me
that at 48 I am still young and
shouldn\'t be feeling so worn out. |

| I had a full abdominal hysterectomy 2 1/2
yrs ago.As a result of a fibroid the size of
a 5 1/2 month baby, I had lots of
problems before, but it was not picked up
by my doctor, or gynocolagist.Untill I saw
another doctor who picked it up straight
away, by then it was to large and causing
too many problems and the only wat was
surgery. So yes a lot more research
should be put into finding out more
about fibroids. |

| Having very recently been diagnosed with
symptomatic fibroids, 18 months after
being told 'not to worry' about the large
one that had been found, and
understanding that it's so common, why
is more not done to understand whether
there is a simple test for screening for
them. To be in your 30s and facing the
prospect of having a hysterectomy is
quite frankly shocking and frightening.
Just because this isn't cancer, doesn't
mean it's not life altering and more
should be done to find ways of treating it. |
