Review for National Uterine Fibroids Foundation, Enid, OK, USA
In 2008 I was diagnosed with numerous uterine fibroids and an enlarged uterus. I was having serious symptoms which had crept up on me (the infamous "symptom creep"). My doctor offered me only a hysterectomy or injections of a drug (Lupron) with many known (negative) side effects. Through the information and on-line dialogue (Yahoo list serve) which this organization provides, I learned about several other options and eventually chose one (embolization) which was more appropriate for me. I continue to follow the dialogue to keep up with information on fibroids and their treatment.
