My myomas are back...

[adrianabr]

Oh yes... they’re back, those damned myomas. As many of you probably remember I’d removed 10 myomas at 2004, but they were seen during a ultrasonography last year. There were 3 of them, really small, and my gyno had already warned me that eventually they'd be back so I didn't pay too much attention. However, I knew I'd have to find myself a new

I'm glad you got a second opinion about this. I understand your reluctance to have such a radical procedure when you're so young. Take care of yourself. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.

I can't understand why 1st doctor said that, since every doctor I talked about it told me it'd be possible to remove myomas and keep my womb. They're growing outside it, so it won't be very difficult to remove them. Of course there's always the possibility of having them back after some time, as it's already happening, but it's much less radical than to remove everything just to prevent them to come back definitely!! Anyway I'm liking the 2nd gyno a lot, she gave me some pills that are already working: the biggest myoma, I could feel it while taking a shower, it's under the scar left from 1st myomectomy (like a C-section scar), and it was bigger than now, when I have to look for something if I want to feel it. I mean, before those pills I could "touch" it, but now I can't do that, I've to look for it with my fingers - it's getting smaller or not growing so fast anymore, which relieved me a lot!!

What can I say: before surgery always get a second opinion

I'm liking the 2nd gyno a lot, her opinion helped me to calm and I'm taking the pills - they're working, I could feel the biggest myoma during my showers and now it seems it's smaller or not growing so fast, I have to actually look for it with my fingers if I want to feel it (it's under my 1st myomectomy scar). But that was quite a shock to hear to 1st gyno opinion about removing the entire womb, maybe it'd be easier for her but c'mon, what kind of doctor prefer to remove a organ instead of taking care it for some time and try to heal it? I didn't like her attitude at all, just like my mother, who still wants to go there and punch her, lol

I know it's little help, but just think what a good life she must have had with your love around her. I know how it feels to loose and miss a grandparent. I wish I'd had more time with mine before they passed away. I'm glad you have those memories. The pain gets better after a while, but the happy memories stay forever.
